Woah, just read the whole way through this thread, seeing some pretty nice work so far! Tempted to join in myself, if not this month then next for sure. @ JeremiahJensen I had all kinds of headaches with the same export problem in Maya. It did exactly the same to me, and to be perfectly honest I can't remember how I fixed…
Sorry; but I have to take issue with that. Comparing the underground railroad, and freeing of enslaved humans....isn't anywhere near the same as making a very sinister joke about killing children in a school and eating their hearts. So I can't really see anyone using that to put it all into perspective. But, I understand…
@Shadowstep: Thanks a lot! Actually, it's pretty easy. In Unity, I use the animator to animate the normal projectiles' position. Inside this object, I have a trail (a simple trail renderer) with a wavy texture and a material with a texture multiplied in screenspace. I also have particles systems with a few in local…
The idea behind a single skeleton is that some engines will use the origin as a tag point for FX and other content. It really depends on engine, the pipeline for engine, etc. Some engines can take advantage of the benefits of a multi chain rig, but a lot of in-house engines will usually require a single chain with specific…
I dont agree that there is a difference between physics and the colour (color) systems we use. Light is at the heart of the additive and subtractive methods of using colour for production. Understanding why the sky is blue and sunsets are red is not confusing the matter. It's important that we know about the physical world…
Cool stuff so far! Careful on some of the smaller details you often need to exaggerate them for them to capture and bake properly. As for asset suggestions: - Vents and fans? Everyone needs air. - Bundles of cords and pipes? Water to cool drilling equipment and power to run everything. - Conveyor belts or delivery/recovery…
I have the same topic to discuss and I didnt want to open a new thread of my own and discuss this, and this might be a vague post here but I am also looking forward to upgrade my system. The specefications you guys stated were extremely underbudget and I can order them right away, the only problem is, that I have Dell XPS…
With each university course thats created, the question is: will it make me a better artist? I studied geography and french for my first one, then did an Msc a couple of years later, thinking "this will help me get my dream job". Of course I was naive in thinking a piece of paper would get me a job off the cuff. Doing the…
Does the Google phone have a fixed hardware specification? What is the userbase? Are there any systems in place to prevent piracy? Do all google phones and Blackberries have touch screens, or is there a broader variety in control types? Choice itself comes at a price. The apple app store is appealing to smaller developers…
omg so you can move those damn buttons! Now a problem has arised! I moved the "Reference coordinate system" pull down into my own toolbar and then it stopped working (the pulldown goes blank). So I dragged it back to the main toolbar and its still blank... This happens to all the pulldowns in the main toolbar, once you…
