Re: Any good tutorials on outdoor environments?
I don't really understand this at all. You say you've been searching for years for a good tutorial on this subject? In those years how many attempts have you made at creating such an environment? Plan it out. Search for some ref images for ideas/Inspiration. Or go outside and take photos of interesting locations. Get a… -
Marquee selection in max 2k9 = choppy
I've been working in max 2k8 all this time but now I thought I'd give 2k9 a try this weekend. One thing I noticed immediately is the marquee selection box or fence selection is REALLY slow and choppy. Even with nothing in the viewport. I've never had this problem with max 2K8. I thought installing SP1 would fix it but… -
Re: Where do you start?
This is a copy/paste from a post of mine on a similar thread 2 days ago. It's aimed at the poster from that but general enough to apply to anyone. The main thing is just doing. It. Start something. Streamlining your workflow comes later with experience. Plan it out. Search for some ref images for ideas/Inspiration. Or go… -
Re: Farmhouse
I'd approach this differently. Your main directional lighting needs more intensity. Start with that, and then remove all your grass. You need to challenge yourself to make this work with vanilla dirt and grass textures....and paths, then add the 3D card grass. Your handicapped at the moment cause you're covering up the… -
Re: Ugh, shooters

Re: graphics in games really don't impress me anymore.
I'm largely in the crowd, frosty, unless the game is something really extraordinary. For instance, just two weeks ago I finally finished Deus Ex - missed it the first time around and got it bargin bin. The graphics really suck by today's standards, but it is such an amazing game overall. There aren't too many oldschool… -
Re: Limited Offer! Exclusive Asset License Giveaway
It really depends on the sign; some, such as the nuclear trefoil and the handicap parking symbol, are in the public domain, while others are private designs. Anything which is protected by a copyright or trademark should have a notice somewhere on the product. When in doubt, create something which is similar but distinct.… -
Re: Alien vs Predator demo comes out tomorrow!
I played it again and it wasnt so bad. I turned down the resolution that sorted the input lag. Apart from map glitches, it was pretty scary and atmospheric. If the aliens got into my face was a garanteed death. Its stupid to have a deathmatch with it, it was unbalanced in the original, moreso now as you have all insta kill… -
Re: WarDevil. Amazing or what?
It reminds me, a lot, of the cinematics you used to see in games like Baldur's Gate, Planescape and Hexen II.... with an excessive amount of icing on top. Just because you're using high-resolution textures doesn't mean it looks good. Or maybe I'm weird. I just prefer lower-res textures - more artful, less likelihood of… -
Re: ShaderFX Realtime Shadows in 3ds Max
Thank you for all the info, Kees. Maybe you can express to the team that this is just one more small piece of the mural in the population that feeds the paranoia of the Max world in regards to Maya. In this case, a Max innovator such as you was hired by AD to take your tool to Maya... and the Maya implementation appears to…
