Re: Treasure chest - How to bake correctly normal and ambient occlusion maps

Re: Typewriter lowpoly question
I think what is usually meant by that is polycount doesn't matter for rendering. Here it's not the polycount itself that I think will be a problem, but object's design. You can see everything through everything, can't just bake it to a box (like a fridge or old TV set for example). Most parts would need to be a separate… -
Plasticity Learning Exercises
Hello! I started learning Plasticity recently and wanted to share some of my thoughts about the software. Maybe this will be interesting for people like me, who have a poly-modeling background and consider giving CAD a go. First of all I was pleasantly surprised how "artist" friendly Plasticity is. The interface is very… -
Re: Need opinion on what a good topology is
@EndlessTinker What's right depends on what the model is being used for, what the desired result is and any technical limitations or special considerations that need to be made for it work in the engine. There's overlap in the general strategy of laying out topology for models but what's acceptable in a low poly model will… -
Re: Sky-Pirate project [W.I.P] (A character design study)
"Think about what physical characteristics your character may have, and why. Look towards nature for help.

This link with reality will make your character more believable, and will help tell their back… -
Re: Apex Clothing Tutorial
Yeah no problem :D Make sure you get the Apex Clothing plug-in for 3ds Max or Maya from https://developer.nvidia.com/apex-clothing 1. Started out with just a flat vertical plane in 3ds max with the width of the curtain being a little bigger than what I intend in the end. (That'll make more sense later) Green line shows how… -
maya python - read from text file, iterate through lines per keyframe and display to screen
Here's a script that will read through a text file, use line breaks as a delimiter, and show each line associated with timeline frame, starting from 0. Useful for synching animations with dialog or notes, which is really hard to do if your text is in a separate app. It's crazy that maya doesn't seem to have any native way… -

Re: breaking the barrier
Seriously though dude, if you really want to lose weight that bad you really can starve yourself. If you cut back to 400-500 calories a day and even attempt to have a normal life (which won't be easy, due to lack of energy, chills, muddled thinking) you will lose weight. I have heard a lot of health nuts talk about putting…
