Re: Great Maya UV's unwrap new script
Hi, Malcolm Regardless of how you get there, align UVs or averaging the centres for the diagonals, your still warping / stretching the UV layout for the texture placement. Is this for low res game models, i.e. DS tracks, etc ? I just have not heard of people manually extruding polys to create tracks for a very long time,… -
Re: 3ds Max Scanline Baker Strange Ray Misses and Bright Normals
Generally speaking, vertex count is more important in games than triangle count. So if you have a model with 5000 verts and 7000 tris, vs a model with 5000 verts and 5000 tris, the 7000 tris model is actually much more efficient. Triangles are not free, but saving triangles at the cost of verts and these sort of UV layouts… -
Re: Star Wars Mania: Docking Bay 94
Hey everyone!!!! So my last update on the project was a little over a month ago. Sorry this one is a little late, I was going to get it up last week, but with the holidays coming up life has gone to ludicrous speed! So progress continues on our Mos Eisley environment, and as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I had a few… -

Re: Renewed updated portfolio
Leaving the layout aside for now, the headliner needs some drastic changes. Your logo font does not have any space at all, environment artist is kinda strange at the right, just put it below your name maybe. Your navigation is way too small Why is it underlined ? And then underlined again by the page indicator thats… -
Re: [WIP] Strawhart - 3D Game
Another update! So you know its Monday! Weekly Update #6 I’ve got something a bit different this week, I wanted to show how we transition from a basic layout to an environment that tells a story. Both screenshots have been taken from the same location and belong to the interior of the manor stage I previewed last update.… -
Re: Hold my hand through Max, please. Haha
[ QUOTE ] For snap settings, I set up ALT-V to toggle vertex snap on or off, since whenever I need to use it, it's often for a few verts in one go, so i just toggle it on, snap the verts, toggle it off again. Just set the Snaps only to Vertex, and uncheck "Use Axis Constraints" in the Options, and I think you'll find it… -
Re: Hello guys, just curious about Lightwave
I cut my Real 3d teeth on lightwave. (first started on Infini-D way back on an apple 2e.) Lightwave has come a long way. It has some very strong points, I still consider it one of the "big 3" of 3d. Lightwave excels at face extrusion modeling, accurate detail modeling, such as cad visualizations etc, its sub-D system is… -
Re: My portfolio is bad, I really need guidance from the pros to motivate my efforts.
If a full scale environment isnt something you can fit into your time frame throughout the week, consider doing something like a diorama. As skylebones said, it is a lot of unfinished AO rendered assets. I think your time would be best spent micromanaging smaller, more unique assets rather than shooting for large scale…
