Re: Sketchbook: Frank Polygon
Subdivision sketch: Charging handle. A quick look at a shape first approach to modeling something with complex compound curves. Start by blocking out the overall volume of the part and use that mesh to figure out a basic loop routing pattern for the rest of the forms. Continue developing the block out by outlining the… -
[WIP] Lae'zel Fan Art
Hello! After playing a lot of BG3, I thought the designs and anatomy of the Githyanki were fantastic, so I wanted to do some fan art. What if Lae'zel went evil and joined cult? So here is my take on that. Here is my concept Below is the high poly Next is her dagger, scenery and other bits n pieces -
Re: [MAYA HELP!!!] Rendering and Lights for Demo reel?
Ok, I'll do 2 posts here. This is a noobtastic GI light dome but it works. I've got another one on my work machine I can show you on Monday if this doesn't work. It's real similar though. Paste this in the script editor and hit enter: //PrerenderPyramid v0.7 - (c) Dmitry "Troydm" Geurkov int $lights; float $intensity;… -
Re: The problem with current sci-fi art/style
Think of design. The ratio between visually noisy areas and visually clean areas. A perfect balance (I think its 80/20?) between those two is more visually appealing to the eye. And where are you getting your 90% figure? Sounds kind of pulled out of your ass. If this has been troubling you for some time then you should… -
Re: Polycount to Professors: Ngons Are Useful!
Neox you caught that post in the middle of an edit, but I'm leaving that bit in there, heh. Technically and mathematically I'm right, but yea I'm kind of being an dismissive ass, nothing new here =P Mathematicians typically call anything past 6 an ngon. Artists seem to cap out at 4. It's not really an inability to count.… -
Re: Maxscript: Arrange a list in descending order of material ID's assigned to an object
Creating and assigning new user properties is such a persistent change and there's no need for it. I've already suggested (at tech-artists) you use a custom listview comparer as the info is already contained in the list itself, check the code again for other suggestions (functions getIDCount and getItems; the rest is just… -
Re: SlideNormalThief Issues
N N N N N N N N N N NECROOOOO THREEEEAD!!!!! This script is a lot faster BUT, the normal output is wrong, it seems like they're coming out swizzled or something. Top left to bottom right: source object > source object normals target object normals > target object after stealing from source object. -
Re: Quad Ngon Modeling Techniques
If you are building a low-poly in-game mesh, n-gons are usually not okay. Triangles, on the other hand, are completely okay and encouraged if you still maintain proper shading and can lower your tri counts. For High Poly modeling, it is usually best to keep quads where you can to make life easier on yourself, but n-gons… -
Re: maxscript that exports UV as selection into photoshop
made another script. this one exports the UVs as vectors into photoshop. it doesn't work on objects with more than 1000 polygons though, photoshop just throws an error. trying to figure out how to work around this currently: (if selection.count > 0 then(output_file = createfile "C:UVWscript.js"docusize =… -
