Re: Environment Art Test
some cargo netting in there somewhere would look pretty cool along with a small boat tied off. Might have to get rid of a pallet or barrel but the polys saved on those small repeated props would give a nice budget for a cool boat. keep it up Eric. Good luck! -
Re: Blender - Proper presentation
Ah, the wiki... thanks Eric I'll look that over. @Ark - So basically throw it in edit mode with Edge select on? Is it better to use smooth or solid shading or is that just preferential? The presentation information in the wiki mentions using a particular shader... I'm gathering alternative options aren't available for… -
Re: Workflow - Game Making
On my small freetime yes, but the day for clients as everyone... Eric Chadwick & rollin : Thanks you for url and your opinions! I just would like everyone share his experience to have a a better view of the different possibilities... and maybe new way I didn't think about yet! -
Re: 3dsmax, normalmap woes.
Thanks for the response Eric. Yes, im just using the standard mat. with hardware shading turned on. Recall doing it in the past w/o problems (afaik), so I was a tad puzzled when it desided to freak on me. Downloaded the 3pshader, and its working fine =D Thanks for the help m8 -
Re: Breast Help!
3ds Max 8, but I'm a newb so I have no idea how to even play with lighting. I'll mess around with below the nips and see how it comes out. EDIT: Eric just noticed you were from boston, do you go to the Boston Post Mortem? -
Re: So, how do you make destructible 3d enviorments?
Crysis vegetation "physics" is explained in GPU Gems3. Not the destructible stuff, though... Eric is probably in the right vein but I'd really like to know more. And you can probably get a good idea, too, from playing with the editor. But yes, most games (ie, Stranglehold), use swapping of models. -
Re: UX/UI Art roles in games, questions.
@beccatherose Hey. Thanks for that. Both you and Eric are right on this. I know they are separate skills, but I guess I figured that I could learn both simultaneously. But maybe it's a waste of time trying to develop my knowledge of UX, and my time would be better spend focusing solely of UI and bringing that up. -
Re: Maya Viewport Transparency Help
Assuming you want to keep it alpha blended .. What Eric says will help, if you need more, separating every element of the transparent meshes to individual objects and centring their pivots they should sort pretty well(freeze transforms too obvs As far as settings go, Depth peeling is usually pretty reliable. -
Re: 2D Eye Texturing
Thanks for the responses. @Monster, will Eric's method work for Unity and/or Unreal? Because while I haven't had time to learn to program yet, I have a desire to, so that I could recycle the model for games in the future. Because of that, I would like to use methods that would transfer into a game engine if possible. -
Re: SOLVED: UpRes Feature and Export texture maps
@Eric Ramberg, Look forward to see a guide. In an Ideal world it would be great to bake out 2k AO,Curvature,Colour ID etc and put them into DDO and export at 4k(Not scaling). As I know people have memory and time issues baking 4k maps using 3D software. Regards.
