Hello Eric. The model is the rifle of which the sling I'm talking about in the other thread: seen from 3d person. Not customizable with other parts than the ones listed. I don't know abou hardware and the rest: I've though that anything may be scalable, with both engines today. Rifle body 1024 map, scope 512, retractile…
Hello polycounters, at last i finished my game-ready asset: The Springflield XD Mod.02 Handgun Thanks for all the people who provided a helpful advice or a critique during the time i was working on it or when i asked. I think it could be refined even more but it's time for me to focus on a new project. This was a blast, i…
Hey Lewis, firstly thank you for replying to my post! I agree about the shadows. The crazy thing is that this was the result after I baked the lighting. I've set my Lightmap resolution of the floor piece from 128 to 256 and set it to bake again. I could also lower the intensity of some of the brightest white lights in the…
Thanks for the link! Sorry that I didn't think to look at the stickies first, before posting. I had to read through it and watch the video a couple of times, but I think I understood it after some trial and error. So I separated out each face in to it's own uv island. And that seems to give pretty good results. Though of…
I have an AX Corsair Gold PSU and i recommend it, fully modullar and with a powerful 12v rail. If your are buying one of the best SSDs out in the market, you should buy a better psu. The AX series are silent. A 660 Ti OC performs better than a stock GTX 670, you can save money there unless if your 670 of choice has OC. For…
There was also an attempt to do a Live Action Neon Genesis a few years back. Weta got as far as doing some pre-production work on one of the Eva units. Just for a moment, let's look at this inevitable travesty from a starry eyed positive position - in a best case scenario, do you think it'd be possible to translate Akira…
Matrices in Maya basically suck for that exact reason (can't be resized, must have fixed size at creation). Why not use an array of vectors instead? A vector is a good match for colours. Alternatively you can just use an array of floats 3x the size of # of verts. int $numVerts = `blah`;float $colArray[3*$numVerts];for…
Neavah, I think that's exactly what I've been looking for. I worked out how to create/edit a UV map, I was just looking for a method of sort of organising the UV islands before flattening the map, to prevent them being randomly scattered and broken up. This must be it, thanks a lot ;) Oh and one more thing seeing as this…
I quickly scanned article and watched video. Seems pretty straightforward to use and I see people with no prior windows experience finding what they seek without any problem. And that's the way it should be. File management, writing some text notes in wordpad and sending emails should have no learning curve whatsoever,…
