Re: Paying the Bills... How to Get a Job?
I think first and foremost you should check http://www.gamedevmap.com/ to see what studios are around you and if there are studios near you, check your work and see if that's a place you'd wanna work for. If you don't feel qualified or feel suited for some of those studios, depending on your 3D or graphic art skills start… -
Maya/Mental Ray Contour Rendering: Trouble with Aliasing
Hi Everyone! So I recently was able to locate the original scene from one of my better renders that I wanted to showcase on my website. But first I needed to create a breakdown shot. So I have been going through the process of contour rendering the scene so I could overlay the original render. But I've run into an aliasing… -
Re: Arena Net Contest
Since you asked here is some feedback that could help with the material definition. It looks like you need to accent the edges of the armor more, in both the spec and the diffuse. A lot of the edges and corners should be getting close to white. The spec for the metal looks like it should also be pushed more, it's currently… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
It's not a transformation though, is it? She didn't really transform; she just got older and has a broken nose. Most of her facial features are the same as her younger model, just thinner because she's older. There are multiple good reasons for her not to take cosmetic damage in fights. * It means that's more models and… -
Re: Vayne4800's workshop
My latest approach to baking better and cleaner maps (especially normal maps). Credits go to both Prophet9 and Nannou for sharing their knowledge with me. Note: This is based on 3DS Max. Sorry maya/Blender/Modo users. Though I guess someone can pick up something useful from this. Previously, I used to make cages from base… -
UV Straightening and its perks on LOD generation
This is a topic that has been reoccuring lately and i thought putting the info in its own thread is a good idea. I will be showcasing a method i have been using for way over a decade now, in 3dsmax. Which is to my knowledge the only tool that allows me to do this. Please correct me if i am wrong, i'd love to have this… -
Re: MEL questions
1. Not sure exactly what you want here. Why can't you just declare a global variable in one proc, and access it in all the others? There's no reason to "lock" it - the only way to change the var is to explicitly set it. If you want it to be stored across sessions (as in, literally set it ONCE only) then you can use… -
Cant get simple extrudes to bake
I've been working on a Tardis model from Doctor who and cant seem to progress around a baking issue im having. The model is essentially just a box with some extrusions here and there and yet whenever I bake it in either Maya or xNormal the extrusions simply do not come through in the bake. I've tried with cages, ray… -
Re: tablets
It's in the wacom control panel but I think the location and options changes depending on the driver version. In the computer I typing at, it's version 6.02-1 and once you get the pen grip to show up it lets you set the settings. It has 3 options low, middle, high. In my home pc I had updated the drivers I think and had a… -
Re: 2016 Character Artist Improvement Thread, Lets Make it AWESOME!
You've got a really nice portfolio! There's only one thing you're missing on the majority of them, the wireframe, you have to remember that you're applying to work in games and its important to see the topology, in addition I recommend you to show a breakdown of your models, its amazing to see those and it says a lot about…
