Yea I agree scripting it would be a good way to go if you know what you're doing. If the huts are instances or clones, you could use the object paint tools. Load them up in the library and click/paint them into place. If they're all individual that probably won't work that well... There was a plug-in called "Glue-it" I…
Because Object Position isn't surface direction. :) Even if you did use object world position you'll get a single 3 vector representing the centerpoint of the object. Even if you were to normalize that vector to get a valid range for a cubemap lookup, you'd get a single color. Now if you want an object that changes color…
I have a few questions about how to go about exporting textures from Maya to UDK. When I first started texturing my pieces, I thought I would be making textures for individual objects in UDK. But when I finished the objects, I decided that the individual objects that I made would take more time to place precisely to create…
High Level Texture Artist will be responsible for creating our materials for our 3D Environments/Objects as well as assisting with 2D animation cleanup, checking, and finalization for characters, objects and effects. This is a full time position for 9~ milestone months. Responsibilities * Assist 3D Artist and Level…
Selection bug or "feature"? The more you click on something it will cycle thru the objects that are underneath the topmost object. Eventually you will get back to the top object after going thru them all. Also Max prioritizes edges over faces when you select, so if you have your mouse over the face of the topmost object…
Amazing project (watched your YT vid as well) so cheers for sharing and also congrats, no doubt looks as though was a ton of work involved :+1: I particularly like the cloth sim'd objects especially those creased folds or wrinkled cloth they're quite realistic, for example on what appears to be a TOPP or MOPP suit? If so,…
I've been collecting these for a few years now. Many came from a similar CG Society thread. I've edited some, left some as found, and hope I'm not repeating too many. When saving a file pressing the + sign will add a number increment next to it (e.g. normal.max will be normal01.max). Press the "i" key to re-center the view…
Generally what you want to do is not solve those problems, but avoid them. By blocking out your model properly before moving to the detail stage you will know ahead of time how objects intersect and thus be able to give each part the right angle and topology to support later boolean operations. If you don't plan this out…
FUCK YEAH!!!!!! Here is what I think is up: AmbientSoundMovable doesn't work over network/lan. The cue you made from the audio file should contain an Attenuation node for falloff. So, no need to place the sound in the level, it's pulled from the UPK. What this does is whoever gets to the switch first (press "E" for use),…
I am a Final Year university student currently working on a concept art based project for one of my modules. The hypothetical game brief is a stealth-based action / FPS game set in a city based around themes of surveillance and controlling appearances. The protagonist is a spy operating in an environment where everyone is…
