Creasing Issue on Cut Line (Maya)
I want to have sharp corners on the cut line while the model maintains it's round shape. Support loops make them sharp, but there's bad smoothing around the whole model (top middle). Googling around I think part of the issue is not enough geo so I smoothed the model and tweaked some of the verts back into a linear shape… -
[xNormal] [Solved] Issues with Exported vs Average normals (xnormal bug)
Hiya! Long time stalker, trying to be less 'forum shy'. I'm having some issues on a personal piece that's long time coming and I finally think I'm really close to calling it done and sharing it. However being a personal piece and an experiment on polishing my workflow I'm being overly nitpicky on the process. For the most… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
in order of personal preference Ruined lab > Bar > Apple computer > tape recorder thingo a nice linear progression. I'm facing my very own "onslaught of rejections" myself, so I'm speaking from a place of comradery(if that's a word, firefox isn't convinced it is) You seem very technically competent, you seem to have this… -
Re: Transistor
Ambershee: I'm the exact opposite. :) Played through the whole thing with a gamepad and wondered how/why I'd do so with a keyboard and mouse. The story is kinda less than clear, but I think that's on purpose. The game is very linear with a few side pieces of flavor, but nothing that constitutes a story or gameplay branch.… -
Re: Info: going rate for 1,500 tri model+texture
How does time scale when you get up to more complex characters? Well, personally I think of the old ship analogy. It takes a boatyard a year to build a one hundred foot ship, and it takes that same boatyard one year and three months to build a 200 foot ship. Probably not accurate because it's just a saying, but it makes… -
Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
The issue with Crytek, is that they never gave a sign that they were listening. Hell even simple "Screw you, we don't do it!" would be nicer, than permanent silence or copy-paste PR answers... They hopefully change it. They have one month to show dedication to change. And I'm not telling that they should in one month… -
Re: Battlefield: Hardline
Heist is so far a lot of fun, but the size of the map is horrid. I can see it doing well if it's a long stretched out linear/open'ish map. Like others said though, rounds end too often and too quickly! The game is very much a BF4 re-skinned with lesser quality character art and again like the fans mentioned. Less… -
Re: Mari - does anyone actually use it?
Thanks, I'm glad I could be helpful. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for true mirroring. I just thought of something else too: Another thing yet to be discussed is the ability to save out texture formats for games such as BC7 or even dds. I dont like exporting and having to take the images into Photoshop… -
Re: 3ds Max 2016 VS. Maya 2016 for modeling?
From 2008 to 2016.5 Maya did a great jump in terms of cleaning UI. Maya has an insane horsepower under the bonnet, but most part of this power is undiscovered for perfunctory usage - that's a nature of Maya. Many cool features are hidden inside script commands. For instance, in Maya you can have 3 types of skinning -… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
The point was to illustrate how textures are spacially mapped, rather than on the screen. It's also not just about textel density, its also about your time. Modularity takes time to plan and skill to achieve seamlessly. Sometimes its just easier to have proper unrestricted tools, but also a lot of times its easier to do…
