Re: New to modelling, would love some critiques of my first models(knives)
Screwed up the quote thing; here is what I said in normal format; Ah right, I get it now!! Yeah I had bad references, low res pictures taken an bad angles(one angle) meant I had to fill in most the 'blanks' myself. Def something to keep in mind! Yeah I noticed that myself that when jumped in right from the start and made… -
Re: New Texture Creation Programs killing Traditional art skills?
If anything, these programs create a false image of what it actually takes to be a game artist. It's very similar to how a hobbyist would pick up one of Unreal 4's blueprint game templates and then claim they are a game programmer. These programs are only bad if they are being used as a substitute for traditional art… -
Re: Helping others:(
The times when I've helped people I haven't really expected anything in return, so I haven't really gotten disappointed. Sure, on occasion it's crossed my mind that maybe their attitude perhaps could be better towards me. Though I kinda wonder then if it's something I've done to deserve it. Not that it happens often, but… -
Re: UK folk - Kerry at Iceland
The overview: Kerry Katona, ex popstar and airship smuggler is now doing BAD BAD BAD TV ads for Iceland. She has an accent that could cut glass. Ror - get yerself a bunch of Still Game DVDs - I think they are on series 4 now. As for Video Gaiden, it is fantastic, and nice to see a TV programme that talks to you bout games… -
Re: Job Dilema
seems to me your old place is paying a lead as much as you could get at another place as a senior without the added responsibility? then it's time to move on, i guess. do not commute 5-6 hours daily, that will bring a lot of problems. instead, rent a place close to work for the time being and do the long weekend kind of… -
Re: 3D Diorama - Dungeon Environment
@Prtofdacrowd: It could be a very good work indeed, I agree all the assets would have a bigger "coherence" but I really wanted to make "real game assets" for this diorama. The Next One maybe :D @Aga22: :D Funny that you said that: The first idea with my lead animator colleague was to do EXACTLY what u're saying: a little… -
Re: Problem with 3ds Max 2017
Than i woud suspect the pro-Boolean being the bad guy. IMHO It's possbile that the boolean operations produce different output after a scene load due to rounding errors etc. Additionally, booleans always tend to produce stray vertices etc. which i would'nt trust being always exactly the same after the boolean operation… -
Re: first time 3ds max
Hey there, that's not bad for a first model. We all gotta start somewhere so don't sweat it. It looks like a nice model, but you probably have to spend a bit of time researching some rendering techniques. Your house looks washed out and there isn't much detail. What would also be helpful is rendering wireframes. You catch… -
Re: 3ds max unwraping resources?
Max is really bad at packing non-square pieces. It aligns them by an invisible bounding box drawn around the piece not really taking into account nooks and carnies. And as EQ pointed out it won't know what is painter or mip map friendly. For a few projects I found that creating an artist friendly set of UV's was great, and… -
Re: What do you do besides 3d ?
23, 3D artist in military and avionics currently. Working towards game industry. Went through 4 years of university for game development only to drop out because starting my career was more important to me than whatever they were throwing at me. (Bad experience wouldn't recommend) Play games when I have time and I enjoy…
