Crikey, open your minds people. Good art teaches you a new way of looking at things. If there was no Piet Mondrian and his theories of colour and compasition then there would have been no Mirrors Edge, one of the most striking games to come out recently (not much fun but that's another thread!). That Giacometti sculpture…
looks really good. But could be ALOT better with some tiny modifications. I would suggest: Turn on "preserve UVs" if you model in max und move some vertices around to give him more weight and more feel. Best example: The biceps. You could give it a lot more weight if you would pull the veritces of the biceps bottom more…
WOW that opened so many doors and is teaching me so much, talk about a quality example, thanks. I'm still going over it and learning but for the most part it runs pretty much like you envisioned it with some minor errors setting up the output path. No doubt the errors are probably coming from something I butchered to make…
[ QUOTE ] Think about it, does a custom made AK-47 make your game better than using a canned AK-47 that looks virtually the same? And speedtree has been used for ages with great results for example. Coders use library code all the time, but when it comes to assets its like a holy grail and everyone has to make their own,…
Yeah i understand perfectly the tutorial and what the script does, as i said its pretty cool. The mesh in your tut is something that you could do fine with just stardard bevel is what was confusing me. Well, seems that way atleast just looking at it, maybe not. Also sometimes like in your 2nd example you can get away with…
Thanks again very helpful advice- When I said the techniques can be taking over to an engine I meant for example the theory... ie colour/placement etc. Regarding the HDR/DOF no- neither are even required- basically a well 4 well lit renders could attain a 2:1 but to get the 1:1 techniques including camera effects, hdr,…
Hi! Recently, I've been accessing all of the useful 3D resources that I can to try and answer this burning question in my head. "What do I need to know to get started in Vehicular Modelling?" I've decided that this is a field that I want to specialise in, as I've had a few attempts at making Vehicles in the past. They…
Hi guys, maxscript beginner here, I have a small dialog Ive created with a hyperlink. The purpose of the hyperlink is for the user to quickly access a help file. Currently I have the example below working. The issue is, that the hyperlink does not open the .docx file unless I close and re-run the maxscript. Im thinking I…
Please discuss your tools and techniques for creating a basic game asset for console or mobile. Keep it brief and to the point: Hi Everyone. I have a pretty solid workflow of tools and techniques I use daily. But I wonder if other game studios use different approaches? I'm asking for student training reasons. I'll explain…
Hi guys. These days i have been watching a lot of renders with a nice style and i wonder how it is done. This is an example: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/517351075916484574/ I have see that this kind of 3D style is done in Cinema 4D but i don't know of it is a plugin or a propierty of the object. here we have an example:…
