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
A bunch of new updates in last couple weeks. This week updates: Version 1.879 released on 12-5-2012* VMF: Fixed error when exporting a scene with a Sunlight object. * VMT: Updated $phong export logic.

Re: Hi All... Care to answer a few easy questions?
Your on the right track with much of this azmodii, although some of your questions fall into a grey area of case by case soft rules. For example, "Concept - From story to gameplay, right down to the basic stuff such as play styles etc Art - Concept art, low poly placeholders, basic rigid structures etc Design - Polishing… -
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… -

In your example you pay with heavy distortions where the seams are -
Re: closed
@Neox Thank you very much for your reply. I don’t have any knowledge of 3D modeling, and since I’m the one who commissioned the work, I have the modeling files. What I’m wondering is simply whether there are any issues with the current sculpt when it comes to creating a cartoon-rendering style model like the images above.…
