Re: CryEngine 3 - wow. (+questions)
The general consensus is, is for pure ART, cryengine wins, though it's can't hold a candle to UDK and its kismet system for rapid game play and system prototyping. You end up with the design team being blocked by programming requests to implement systems they want, while in UDK the design team can easily go into Kismet and… -
Re: Naming conventions and structure?
well take in context the game. Uncharted is setup like a movie, it is a very linear story and every set is pretty unique, they rarely reuse large environmental assets from very speicifc plot points elsewhere in the game. apart from generic vegetation and scatter props I imagine. If you were working on other open world… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
This may come across as a troll, but if I can give you one piece of advice; don't pick up Lightwave... It's our main tool at work, and if Maya's gets on your nerves sometimes, Lightwave will make you smash your (and your coworker's) head through a concrete wall. Non linear workflow, graph editor sucks, modeling tools are… -
Re: I cant see normal maps in the 3ds Max Viewport
Sorry about the misunderstanding above. You did admit to a felony though. You should edit your post. :) Yes, it's displaying for me perfectly as well. Max 2018/Nitrous default/1060gpu. Have you tried rendering the maps? Just another step in troubleshooting. ART physical material is set up for a metal/rough workflow. As… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
You can't just use a spec, norm, and diff. You have to play around with linear interpolation, multiply, and other things to create a good shader. I suck at making shaders, but I threw this together in a few seconds with a metal shader I had awhile back. Feel free to use it, but I suggest changing the values around for a… -
Re: [Portfolio] - David Finlay, Vehicle & Environment Artist
Hey dfinlay, This looks to be a mix of game res models and high end shaders/rendering if im not mistaken? I noticed that you are using Vray and that a lot of your renders have an uneven noise distribution, especially in the shadows. You should look into using a linear workflow to even out the noise in the darkest areas.… -
Re: Max strange uv bug
Could be a couple of things causing this: A) Mip-mapping (or texture filtering) means your texture edges are being blended across the edges. This happens by default on all textures but you can turn it off on a per-texture basis in the material settings. Just change the "filter" type to "linear" (i think it's quadratic by… -
Re: Competition Animation Critique - Feedback Much Appreciated!
Bummer about the results, but keep at it. In terms of feedback, be careful of too much twinning in the poses and action. -The girl for instance shrugs both shoulders, lifts and lowers both hands and so on, almost as if the body is mirrored. -Also, you'll want to finese your limbs more so that the viewer can't tell which… -
Re: Biped Workbench/Curve Editor Help!!
1. Forget about editing curves on the biped. Biped is rooted in quaternion rotations, and the Euler option is a terribly implemented after thought. 2. Play with the TCB. J/K :) That probably won't work, at least it won't be easy. I'm going to give you a simple solution, and you're not going to like it, but it's the easiest… -
Re: Hug your kid at home, but belt them in the car. The automobile thread!
(not my actual car) I got one of these, 2005 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan Linear. Nothing more then an overpriced jacked up Opel Vectra including the shitty craftsmanship if you ask me. Gawd, how I hate what GM has done to Saab. What I want is a full EV version of the Jag CX-75 But I like where Saab is heading! Saab Phoenix…
