Polycount! There's a name I haven't heard in a long time... I'm not sure how this thread got necro'd and into my email, but it's nice to see some familiar names. B) Also, cloud storage 4TW. There weren't a lot of options for that back in 2009, but it's all I use now unless I am literally going to sneakernet something…
My name is Ibrahim. I am solo-developing Sophie the Zombie-Girl, a 3d platformer stylish-action passion project. I have 3 years of experience working as a professional Unreal Engine programmer and solid skills in 3d, animation, concept art, and VFX. At the moment I am at a university and have a part-time job as a…
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less…
Who are we? Hi there! We are Nyx Studios, a co-operative team of 30+ obsessed artists and tinkerers. We build original worlds and everything it takes to make them real. We’re good enough to be extremely useful and not famous enough to be extremely expensive. Whether yours is a small indie project trying to make every…
You are comparing two images textures and asking why A is different to B, but you are missing an important part of the puzzle - the lighting and rendering setup. That is going to make the biggest difference. I think the textures in the original image are probably good enough to work with. I'd spend some time learning about…
1. I usually do painting through the following method: a. Make sure I'm in the Blender Render mode. b. Use the Texture Paint Layer Manager. (Hit N in the 3d view to see the layer manager.) c. Be in GLSL shading mode. This allows you to use the shader properties to get your shading information. So, you can set up lights how…
True, I agree with those things especially the lack of a cage. Blender should be capable though, it's the import/export scripts that has to be up to date and working. In max I want the split-edges smoothing from maya and blender, but they keep insisting on using the smoothingroups, in blender I want the cutting tools and…
@jacopoS Noticed! I'm honoured you're taking the time to help. 1. You have a good point there, the mesh itself won't be used in game. I was planning to use it as a base mesh for the in game characters as well (like the hands are reusable), but I guess I should make two separate meshes from now on: one for skinning and one…
You've already been offered a wealth of advice and resources to get on with, so stop whining... Here's some info I personally recommend: A - Download a student EDU 3ds Max licence (free) or a copy of Blender (free) B - Intro tutes for beginners 3ds Max (free)…
I click on the scale manipulator or do the gesture thing if its all axes.. I can't seem to manage to get the script to do ' ctrl alt G' otherwise I'd put those on w e and r. You can see that I tried here, but they don't activate the gizmo, they just go straight to translation PS here's how my script currently looks after…
