Re: Mari 2.0 is out
Bodypaint can go either way. Funny enough, I started using Bodypaint precisely because it had 2D projection mode. I find that "true" 3D painting doesn't really work for me. The brush skipping across seams is a pain. Also painting very low resolution textures (like 128 or 256) with actual 3D painting is a pain in the ass,… -
Re: [Portfolio] Daniel M, Prop Artist
next gen gaming, yes. But still in next gen gaming we cant go "crazy" with textures. In Reach, there were a few assets that got crunched down to a 256 or 128 texture that were half the size of the player. Its really tough, but the assets themselves decide the final texture size. Are they hero objects? or ambient filler?… -
Re: Tips & tricks for working with large scenes
I think that will give you horrible results if you're planning on baking it but only testing it will tell. Max runs better if they're all separate objects, it can only degrade the visuals of the scene on a per object basis when it starts to have trouble few objects to degrade the more it trouble it has.… -
Re: Building Placement on Complex Terrain
Script! You will need to make sure your houses pivots are at their base. i can give you a script for that if need be. I made the script only position the house not change their orientation to fit the terrain, I can do that too, but it struck me as a dumb idea. If you find the houses are not fully bedded into the ground… -
Re: Building Modularly....Advice
You could create 5 different textures for the same building blocks but if you only changed the texture of near identical looking buildings it's gonna be noticeable. The bottom line is you want a set of modular pieces which can be combined in a variety of ways to produce noticeably different buildings and structures. On top… -
Re: "The City of New Orleans Is Devastated"
An increase in the surface temperature of the Alantic ocean (edit:may or may not) cause more frequent and powerful hurricanes, so we should or should not take precautions. (I'm sorry, this is only a theory. Maybe I should make that clear.) "In order to form, a hurricane must have ocean temperature of at least 80 degrees… -
Re: Courtyard Environment (image od)
I'm glad I took a second look at this, because there's so much I missed at first glance. You've modeled in lot of detail that I never noticed. For example, the window seal with all the knocked out edges. That's a good idea, but it's got damage all over it, and nothing else in the scene has any. Those bricks sticking out of… -
Re: Gears of War PSP Character
Xaltar: Much appreciated. Demon Princess: Thanks that's great! Probably would have never figured that out without your help. Really amazing work they did with the painting, again; I can see why you guys kept mentioning them. I'm gonna keep on studying the textures as I go here. Genz: Thanks, glad you like it. I worked on… -
