Issues when mirroring after baking half-mesh
Hey there, I have recently been trying to go extreme with optimizing UV space and have seen videos on people deleting a mesh down the middle, UV-unwrapping it, baking it and then mirroring the mesh later. Basically saving on UV space as the other half would be offset outside the 0-1 space. However when I attempt this I get… -

Re: AI
This is where your argument falls down somewhat. It is not easy to come up with a simple model to predict ("anticipate") what a player is going to do and how to appropriately react, let alone across a variety of different environmental and non-environmental conditions. Players are by their nature very unpredictable, which… -
Re: 3ds Max tool for expediting model export to Valve Source Engine

Re: Hi All... Care to answer a few easy questions?

Re: Man I'm sometimes freaking the fuck out
My recommendation is to set yourself projects with the idea of practicing or learning something specific. Like as a character artist if I want to practice making hair for example I'll focus on a project based around that, or if I want to practice human anatomy I'll make a character that requires good knowledge of that. If… -

Re: Problem with viewport in 3ds max
Sorry, somehow I kinda missed the fact you're working off wonky photo ref. When you don't have nice orthographic images planes aren't actually that useful There are various camera matching solutions (there's a rudimentary example supplied with max iirc). Usually they rely on knowing something about the way the image was… -
Re: Looking for critique on my stylized material sculpting
I wasn't necessarily referring to the hammering (though pinching is a very good keyword) but that's probably my bad for not expressing it better. Basically, the lamp isn't one big chunk of metal, and while nicks and notches (like the one in your sword) and blunted bits might be found as well, it's much more likely to dent…
