Eric, Thanks for your reply. I'll look forward to these types of features. Keep up the great work. You and your team have developed some excellent tools. For now, when generating PBR materials from photographs, we can consult the reflectance values per material in your XML files (/PhysicsLookup) for some good suggestions.…
the color scheme is decent, yellow/orange and grays is always a winner. your composition sets up the scene nicely. the chamber is the focus, so thats working really well. my favorite part is the machinery to the direct left & right of the chamber. theres a lot of interesting shapes and angles happening. love it. is there a…
XSI was more of a program i had to learn because that's what came with Pandemic. However, in my experience with 3ds Max, Maya and XSI, XSI has proven to be the fastest modeling program. Every single function is mapped to the keyboard. Every Cut, bevel, and extrude operation is just a keystroke away and after thought rather…
Hey Brian, sorry for that comment. Its obvious there's a lot of work in there, 10k lines of code is no joke. It was worth it for me. I'd say the reason for that comment is a lot UVNinja is accessing Maya commands through MEL. My issue with that is a lot of maya's UV commands are a bit unreliable. smoothUV sometimes explode…
Thanks all! Here's the current state of things (still a rough work in progress); Currently it's possible to walk through the scene in third person (I wanted to demonstrate how the scene would function as an actual game level). I ordered the art of Bloodborne book from Japan, and after taking a look decided to follow this…
sonic: it is an ipod. just think of it as the top of the line in terms of features, even if it isn't in storage capacity (yet). the reason why they haven't taken the same design and made it into "just" an ipod is because the touch-sensitive display doesn't make any sense for what you use an ipod for. they've refined and…
The cleanup function doesnt take care of double edges, for me at least. If you find thats true for yourself heres a script I threw together few days ago. It saves your selection so it can be used at any time during the modeling process, though is a little finicky with edge selections sense it changes their order when…
Its sort of just a 3d model for practice, I suppose its static non functional without much thought about what sort of game it would be for and what that would demand. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to model to some degree as though it were for a game, at least just in the modelling. Anyway I think I have all my queries and…
Modeled from concept art or own design? EDIT: As an aside - back in the day, had attained experience in a military context handling/operating various weapon systems so from my perspective your example, has disproportionate elements that when placed in a real world setting, would practically in terms of basic ergonomics be…
WIP#4 - Abandoned Hotel Bar - Set up Master Materials Hi there, just a quick update of my progress this week. It's been a super fun week, learned so much about master materials, never realised they can be so powerful! My progress so far: Things I've changed since last update: - Finished off the trim for the rest bar…
