Re: Term 1 - Development Projects Progress
Hmm world-aligned may seem like a great time-saver, but it often ends up hurting the assets. * What happens when an asset is rotated around the up-axis? Not an unusual occurrence when building levels. * Often there are performance implications, if the textures are being blended between the 3 planar projections. * You get… -
Re: Opensubdiv. What do you think?
I saw the thread in general discussion earlier, so I'm crossposting my response from there: I've been working for about 3-4 years with a manual chamfer workflow and the last 2 years with opensubd, so here are my pros and cons: opensubd (or similar): pros: - cleaner basemesh, much easier to make tweaks and changes (no… -
Re: Abandoned Bar : The Last Of Us - FanArt
Really lovely execution... I have some critiques though.. I feel your scene has a lot of conflicting factors in scales... parts of the scene make the environment feel at a good scale but quite a few other elements make it feel really small... some elements which actually leave you scratching your head as to what kind of… -

Re: 3ds max : caping scan 3d holes
I daisy chained some commands together into a script that MIGHT help with automate the manual process a bit. It isn't anything too complex and there might be better, more advanced ways to generate the needed topology but this should get close to the same results you're getting manually.

Re: Sketchbook: Vig

The bridge island is a sniper hang out and I was having trouble getting good line of sight from up there so I pushed out the upper level, I think I'll re work the bridge so it all… -
Re: American Auto Industry
This is a very interesting topic :D About the issue of salaries and the $73/hour number, that's kind of correct. In terms of salaries and benefits, union autoworkers make about $55/hour. that compares to about $45/hour from non-union workers (employees as Japanese firms are all non-union.) The extra cost is what the Big 3… -

3dsmax 2012 biped/CAT bug hulk rage & frustration.
I have been using a modified UDK biped rig since January '12, and each time it takes 3-4 times longer than it should to rig/pose, due to what i consider bugs/glitches. original file from here: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/rsrc/Three/UDKCustomCharacters/UT3_Male.max Main example: I modified the skeleton to fit my…
