Re: Cant scale object in 3ds max
Maybe the scale controller got changed somehow, for example by wiring it to something else in the scene or having a Scale List with a different entry being active. Check in the motion tab of the control panel (solid circle/sphere with motion lines to the left). Default is Bezier Scale. -
Re: My portfolio is weak, send help please
I second this, that orc ass needs saving otherwise nobody will hire you. Seriously though, you're not off to a bad start but these aren't portfolio level works as much as they are studies. Portfolio work should be comparable to the companies you aspire to work for. Avoid anything called "WIP" in your portfolio section.… -
Re: Difference between elements and objects in rendering for games
Normally you model things like 1 but sometimes version 2 is also ok considering the cubes do not intersect each other but rather small one without back face is floating on surface of big one with tiny gap. Intersecting shapes makes co called "Z-fighting" in games . Not only perfectly co-planar things but even such cubes… -
Re: Apocalyptic Corn Field Environment
The lighting on the Silo's needs correction. If you take the fence posts for example, they are unlit on the side facing the viewer, as the light is coming from up the road over the mountains. The silos however are lit from both directions, take down the lighting from the viewer's side, don't be afraid to mess about with… -
[Blender] Is there a way to make custom seams for ID color maps outside of edges?
The only way I know of how to make seems are along edges and vertices. But is there a way to create "custom" seams between faces without adding geometry to create ID color maps for texturing purposes? Hopefully the question makes sense. For example, left is the default geometry, right is where I would like to add a seam… -
Shop Windows
I'm curious to hear peoples ideas on how to approach windows for shops/bars/cafe's etc in street scenes for example. Specifically for buildings that won't be entered by the player, but may be viewed up close. Looking at examples in games I've played, it seems the common approach is either an image straight onto the window… -
Convenient ShaderFX alternative ???
Years ago I loved that cool 3d max plugin but since they inserted it inside , I no more able to use it. Kind of example of "better is enemy of good" Slow, hardly interactive, over complicated and too low level for an artist with a lot of puzzles and choices irrelevant to art tasks. In a word I'd like to find an alternative… -
Re: What environment helps get you a job?
Hi! I think in end the execution is what matters, less the setting. That said, I can see how the setting affects what techniques you can showcase. So when you're planning a project, you could think about what techniques you want to show/ what would you like to work on. For example: Catacombs - modular kit, photogrammetry,… -
Re: I'm giving a talk about Polycount, game artists, being a professional.
Thanks. But back to my question -- lets say I couldn't contact you buy you had some images you've created that are perfect examples of a point I am trying to make. Would you care I had used it? I mean, you've posted them to a public forum and no money is being made, so I reckon its technically "okay". But morally, and… -
Re: Hand painting practise - crits please!
Yea i saw the lighting examples, although i'm unsure how i'd go about doing that? If i go any darker, there will be pure black in the texture, and if i go any lighter, there won't be enough tonal variation to make the glowing lava parts stand out... I overlayed a white gradient starting at the face which faded to dark…
