Re: UT level editing: lighting info?
Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking of doing, but not looking forward to. It's one thing dicing up geometry when it's a cylinder and a plane, another when it's staircases, ornate reliefs, trees on uneven ground, etc. Baking out lightmaps is just sooo much easier. Oh well, I guess if it were too easy, we'd all be… -
Re: faking an HDR image from a single photo
Eric, I undestand this, but does every diffuse map have a HDR version or only environmental reflection maps? The links seem to be showing this. In example, would I create a HDR for a character diffuse? If so, Im not sure how the above processes shown would apply to create a hdr from its ldr since it isnt a environment nor… -
Re: Ink and paint Blues
Hmm, is there any plugins for max that they have made that support the use of alphas with it? Kinda weird they would support doing displacement and bump but no alpha. Eric- Is the fall off map considered a form of a shader at the end? Because the lining problem isnt the issue, I have to save this as a FX file to work with… -
Re: animated lava
Yea I updated my post on how to work around that, I forgot that the material editor doesn't allow negative phase numbers. You have to do that in the curve editor, see above for steps. I think the version Eric did that tutorial in was Max 3 maybe 4. So a few specific things have changed but the overall theory is correct and… -
Re: Looking for old-school style web composer software
Hey there Eric - Indeed, that is one of the few possible approaches. And interestingly enough, even though there are many more modern tools available for page layouts and wireframes now, it seems that some designers still rely on it probably because of how simple/bruteforce/straightforward it is. Definitely considering it… -
Re: Anyone had any experience with GameFilmHub?
Thanks for your input Eric. I've setup a profile. I have to say though... I messaged Ade asking him about some specifics using the site and he was very rude in his responses. I'll use the site for a bit, see where it takes me.. but I would be lying if I said this experience didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. -
Re: Blender -3d sketch technique?? - *video included*
hey eric, i have seen a little about it, after watching this vid, like holy crap i didn't know it worked like that!! I definitely need to check on installing that for sure ,is it an extension that's free for blender?? I know jama is so elite with this stuff, so i'll definitely check some tuts on that stuff. And i'll make… -
Re: how to make lava in 3d?
You can create it all in Zbrush, sure. Why exactly do you want to show Zbrush skills? To get work as a Zbrush-only artist? Some more information would help us help you. Here's a recent example of using in-game shaders to make lava. Can't do this in Zbrush… -
Re: change root of helper rig
Hi Eric! I'm more looking for a tool to handle the transformations. It's in my case not such a big deal.. more a nasty little annoyance. Its not a bone but just a spline object (helper) which is just the parent for a few other spline object. All of them use just a simple parent-child dependency. Adding another bone would… -
Re: Tilterpillar for iPhone - now with video
it's quite intentional, the caterpillar is even called Carl after Eric Carle. The icon for the game is inspired by hungry caterpillar. However the game it's self has zero reference, and graphically the only thing they share in common is a red head. More of a homage. And to be fair, caterpillars walk like that, so it's…
