Re: Why is ptex not used in games?
Old thread but had some questions as it's now a couple of years ago. What has happend? I am no engineer or math wiz, but why does they not remove the mesh and use the textured-polys/tris to replace the mesh.. And then use smaller size texels for high res and bigger for low res, like games. Like instead of connection polys… -
Re: Practice in hard surface armor
DWalker - Good point. I'll try sliding it down the arm a bit and adding something like a strap to attach it. Think that would be best so that the strap wouldnt go right in his armpit and probably look weird. looprix - Thanks! Ya, I agree been a bit light handed with that stuff. I'll throw some on to see how it looks. Don't… -
Re: How do hair cards render into hair & fur in game engines?
I dont have much experience with 3ds and especially hair in 3dsmax. However what i have seen most people do is generate hair clumps, which then get baked to polygons with an alpha map. With these textures already baked you then create your actual hair using polygon strips. Maya has tools to create spline based hair and… -
Re: portfolio dilema
@zacD: yeah, we have an option to do either 1 full environment (such as a level from a game), or 3 separate environments, being either a room, or just a mini scene. im not too sure i would go on the route of a single environment tho, id be more keen to mini scenes for environments. @scoobydoofus: that sounds like a great… -

Re: Enviornment with a Wood Fence
http://www.3dpowers.net/refs/metal_fence_chain.jpg The link is a large picture of a fence I took a few months ago. I have donated to www.cgtextures.com actually, (it's in line to go up). But it might be of some help for you right now before it gets uploaded. Grab as large of a section as you can off of the image, make it… -
Re: Luger P08 model
Not a modern repro - it's a WWI era Artillery Luger, basically a PDW before the concept was really cemented. That whole setup is probably worth several thousand bucks if it's in decent condition and even some of the parts match. I wish interesting guns like that were included in games more often, instead of the usual… -
Re: Modelling a shirt collar
Hey there, I'd love to offer you some advice of my own, but I'm still trying to get better at this stuff myself. I did, however, find this a couple days ago while doing some research for my next attempt at a character model. Here is the picture,… -
Re: Bruce Campbell from The Evil Dead (Update)
I really don't think that this one reference is sufficient for this model. You are missing quite a bit of information, such as an all around veiw of the arm and hands as well as what is going on underneith the clothes. http://www.3d.sk/ is an awsome site for human photos, the downside is that you have to pay a monthly fee… -
Re: 3ds max, any way to use the move tool to move in increments (rounded numbers), not fine decimals?
I don't really have time to go into this very deeply today, but will try to provide some more feedback over the weekend. For the moment, there is a new function in WW that I loaded today with an updated UI for the Nudge Tools in WW. Among them are snapping functions. Those should help with old-school methods of editing…
