Re: Play Maker!!
If you can code yourself then its not as useful, but you can definitely still make use of it. It's great for AI since it basically creates State Machines with actions inside of them, you can use the heaps of actions that come with it and also create your own actions to drop into the UI pretty easily. From what I understand… -
Re: Modelling for Animation
Poops example is correct, but a little simplified. The deformation also highly depends on placement of the joint in the limb and the positions of the vertices like the xcloud example shows. Even a one loop solution can look ok to a certain angle for meshes with very low polycount if you model the loop in a 45 degree angle… -
Re: What are the hipoly source models worth?
I dont want to come across the wrong way man, but if your rate is 35 US an hour or whatever, and it takes you 20 hours for the high poly... thats the price... Your getting paid an agreed price for your time and your effort and that price should encompass handing over the rights of reproduction for that piece of work. End… -
Re: Used Games
Sorry polyhertz, but it is true. Used vs pirated is very different! Used sales the consumer is still paying basically the same price but the developer gets nothing. Piracy there is no money transaction so there is no loss of profit as people who pirate don't pay for games. Yeah the prices are going up and the value of the… -
Re: Male dude
Oh, btw I wouldn't model in that streched out davinci pose, due to several facts: 1. It is a very unnatural pose that makes it hard to spot slight anatomical errors, for you and people helping you. 2. I am guessing you want to model it that way to have an optimal mesh for animating it later on, but that pose is only… -
Re: A low poly tree
I would thicken the 2d branches/stems on the leaf pane texture. As it stands now, they are quite thin, and will mip down to nothing. Right now, some of the leaves appear to be floating with no connection to the tree, and with mipping they may end up even worse. Using vertex coloring to get more volume and shading is a good… -
Re: UV layout techniques
[ QUOTE ] But a map this complex was going to be very difficult to paint anyway. [/ QUOTE ] So for that reason its worth making ones life *more* difficult? [ QUOTE ] It's going to have diagonal areas one way or another. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, but thats reason not to minimize the diagonals where possible is it? [ QUOTE ] If you… -
Re: Online Gaming: Most Satisfying Kill
Best frags... DUke Nuke'em. I was the master of the Proximity mine. Being able to set them against the wall of an elevator shaft as I jumped down was a practiced skill. Best weapon was at the bottom of the shaft. Bees to honey. UT2K4, just one of thse days I was on. Map was ONS-Canyonlands. Found a sniper rifle and just… -
