Prop Animations In-Engine
Yo. I'm looking for sweet tips/tricks on rigging and animation when it comes to prop animations for in-game characters in Maya, and how they translate to Unreal 4 and Unity. I understand all the basics, parent constraints, etc., but my latest question pretty much has to do with dropping an item and the rigging/engine stuff… -

Deep Forger -
Deep Forger is a procedural generation app currently running as a bot on Twitter. It uses similar tech to the Deep Dreaming generator that went around a little while back. Unlike that app that inexplicably worked pictures of dogs and eyeballs into a submitted photo, Deep Forger picks a specific piece of artwork and reworks… -
Blend shapes from Maya LT change names in Unity
I created several blend shapes for my model. Some of them from scratch, some of them by merging other blend shapes. After export in .fbx names of some blend shapes changed. I imported this model fbx to Unity and to Maya LT and in both I got the same result. Some of blend shapes (not all of them) had different names. The… -

Re: Portfolio feedback and advice for getting the first Job
To get a job, you need to demonstrate the basic craft skills of the trade in your portfolio. Here are a few things I've noticed that show a potential employer that you haven't mastered this fully yet: * polygon distribution is very uneven. Some parts are far too high-poly for an optimized game mesh while other parts of the… -
Re: M16A4
Model looks good, maybe a bit sharp and too uniform edges at places Texturing is pretty simplistic still and needs some work, Edge definition and medium/large scale details and variance are everything in texturing Small scale surface detail is there but that can generally be so generic that it can be done with a tiling… -
Re: Space Marine model - work in progress
You've got some of the base shapes nailed down, but they need refining and you also need to start using several smoothing groups as the armour of a space marine has several hard edges. For example the shoulder pads. Your model also has the adsence of a waist. Personally I would go back and segment the armour into several… -
Re: Please help with normal mapping
I do not agree with you on never editing the cage. There is a reason most bakers allow you to import a custom cage. With an automatically generated cage the mesh gets pushed out evenly. With a cage you make yourself, you can change how much it gets pushed out, where you need it. For example around parts of your model that… -
Re: Deus EX- Street
I think to make it pop out good and proper, and ditch some of the 'flatness' the scene has is some decent ambient-illumination on the advertisements, and to be honest everything. In Deus Ex HR a lot of the lighting is added to by having the area largely darkened, but with a large volume of glow and falloff light to bounce…
