Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
I just wanted to emphasize this post. When starting out, the language is fairly unimportant. What you're really trying to learn are the methodologies of programming across all languages; things like Looping, Arrays, Classes and Objects. I've bounced between a few languages myself when starting out and the only hurdle is… -
Final year project: Anatomy Study
Hey, I am currently just about to start my final year at university after the summer break. I decided to start part of my project early as it should (hopefully) improve my skills for any other character art I do after this. What I am doing, for this part is... A high poly anatomy study. I want to sculpt the bones, the… -
Re: Serious trouble understanding the workflow "Low to high to low Poly"
Decimation master is very smart about what gets culled out of the mesh, their algorithm works really hard to preserve detail. It isn't some brute force poly cruncher, just welding whatever in near, it's very intelligent. Normally what gets hacked out is nothing but fluff that isn't actually contributing to the tiny details… -
Re: Avatar
I'm not smart, those are just things that stood out as man made. When I said a few I meant any number of years, its still a weird thing though. Those usb plug things are indications of a weak plot and world, and having to create something after the fact because their is no other way to do something. Animals are a lot… -
Re: Viktor's character scribbles
@KristaW & X³²Lapis, thank you guys! @Aga22, definitely not haha, but I can see some similarities ;) @Abrvpt, Glad you like the variations! :) Since none of these are for production purposes, I prefer to start from scratch each time (good practice). But in production, I certainly see the benefits of tweaking an existing… -
Re: Google Buys YouTube
good point Paul, and there goes what made YouTube great. I liked being able to find old cartoons or seeing the south park WoW episode after I missed its air date. KDR YouTube may not make any money but for google who has plans to expand thier "google video" (which does make money), knocking off the cometition is a smart… -
Re: 3ds Max Game Terrain & Workflow.
We're pretty much doing the same thing as Eric described... and yes it's a pain in the butt. You can use ZB or something for your normals maps or texture creation, but we're just using them to tile. I was trying push for a blended material and use a map or vertex painting to blend between 3-4 texture/shaders using RGBA,… -
Re: [3ds Max] miauu's Tab Panel
What do you mean with "if your system breaks"? If there is a sudden crash of 3ds max when you start 3ds max again the tabs will be loaded. -
Re: First Realism Zbrush
What would be great is to not argue or debate with everyone, it it was recommended that you start over you should honestly take the advice and do it, you will be very surprised at how differently the model comes out as from you first attempt. That is why we are saying start over and and over and over some more, until you… -
