Alcohol might be a drug, but that doesn't change the fact that it is legal and isn't destributed by alcohol lords in mexico and gangs who use guns and knives to protect their territory from competers. Marijuana might be safe, but it's the whole way it gets destributed that fucks it up. As I said in my previous post:…
Are you trying to use swarm to distribute your lighting builds between multiple machines, or can you not bake lighting at all (on a single machine)? I had do jump through some hoops and download some "patched" files for swarm from the UE4 forums to get distributed bakes working correctly. If that's your issue, I can dig up…
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they…
i used to work for one of the UK's gamestop equivilents. profit margins on preowned games/consoles is retardedly high, and not a single penny of it goes to the publishers/dev studios. so yes, it's wrong. yes, i hate it. but no, i don't know of a miracle solution to it. everyone wants everything cheaper. but it's kind of a…
I don't know XSI, but in blender you can bake AO etc. directly to the vertex color. Blender is free and you can export/import your model between blender/XSI and test it out. But my experiences with automatic baking of vertex color is, that the quality depends on the vertex distribution. I got decent results with 1.5k - 3k…
Make it look like MoP's paintover because right now you don't have good looking shapes. your poly distribution is very weird. You have way too many sides on the cylinder for the headlamp, and too few angles defining it. It looks like you started with a box or sphere and just pushed and pulled stuff into position - this is…
Hi. I hope this is the correct forum for this. If not my apologies. I've search the web and have found dozens of sites that sell and distribute free 3D models, but I can't seem to find any that that sell or distribute just the concept artwork specifically for 3D modeling. Something like this. Any ideas? Thank you very…
Its a shame because books are ridiculously easy to pirate/distribute. their files size is tiny and readers are simple to make. If they dont get smart to this quickly and give people fair prices they'll end up the same way as music and games. I mean $19 for a digital book is ridiculous. Its costing pretty much the same as…
Hello, everyone. I'm new here, but anyways i hope this forum is the right place for my news. So, my project is torrender.net - free distributed rendering of 3ds max scenes over the world. It already works in Russia and now i'm going to release it in english and need some help. Details are here:…
I would say, using Max (or any other 3d package) is the best way to creating a base mesh as you can precisely control how the edge loop direction/ polygon distribution/ etc. then only bring into Zbrush for more detail work. But you can try to use ZSphere as a base, but chance are you gonna get a not very good poly…
