Re: Is it possible to rig with this topology?
Your hand twist issues probably come from doing the twist at the wrist itself, rather than in the forearm. Create a bone somewhere in the forearm that you'll use only for twisting the hand. The bone in the wrist is used mostly for flexing or extending the hand. You can set the wrist bone to drive the forearm bone… -
Re: Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor
Think about it like it's an Extended Universe. There were tons of comics, cartoons,books and games about Star Wars before this year and they were all declared as non-canon. So basically it's all for good fun. Star Wars: Force Unleashed is a good example. That game was about a secret apprentice of Darth Vader, which seemed… -
Re: Math is needed!
These two statements are conflicting. Your average person's grasp of mathematics usually doesn't extend much farther than rudimentary algebra; addition, multiplication etc - and even then it gets hairy when order of operation comes into account. If you're working with vectors and matrices, you already have that 'deeper… -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 now free!
Hmmmm...the new update to UDK gives users the ability to bind UnrealScripts to Windows DLLs. This effectively extends the engine, and makes it possible for users to code their own C++, compile it into a DLL, and then use it with the engine. That will definitely make those unsatisfied with UnrealScript coding happy. The… -
Re: Save your eyes - Adjust brightness
or even simpler: when the art director reviews your work you want him to see the exactly same picture you've been working on. (extend this example to the entire gfx pipeline) Otherwise you just end up with nonsense reviews where you get tasks like "make it brighter/darker/etc" and artists are thinking "wth? it's already so… -
Re: Altering pivot point in Max
Dont know why nobody brought this up yet, there is also Arc Rotate Sub Object, its the 2nd dropdown button from the right on the bottom (in max9 atlest). Setting it to the yellow Arc Rotate Sub Object one will activate it, with it you will pretty much rotate around your selected vert, poly, etc. Useing Z (zoom extends all… -
Re: Looking to improve my techniques...
Don't use pure black for shadows, and use more colors. The skins have alot of purples, yellow, greens and other colors, using mostly one color makes it look a bit lifeless. Also if you get rid of that black background and extend the skin color outside of the UVs, the seems will blend better. And like previous people said,… -
Re: Show reel for crit
Great thank you ZASkaggs, DireWolf, poly_bob and jfeez. I was hoping to keep the reel short but fell in love with the music so extended it :/ lol. But I will rework it once I have some zbrush sculpts to show also. I’m really after modelling work eventually, so will re jig it to display sculpts. What do you feel is my worst… -
Re: Questions About PostProcess Material Effects
Not really,as i said i was thinking if it was possible to shade objects smaller than 400 units one color and other objects another,for example in the UDK's default template maps,this would color the small white cube pink and the white base rectangle mesh green...of course the ultimate goal is to extend the functionality to… -
Re: Programming a texture baker?
I don't have much experience with it, but I think you might find more results by searching for material on generating lightmaps. It's basically baking, but focused on lighting for environments. You can then extend the operation to render other attributes like normals, ambient occlusion etc. I think these are useful: -…
