Re: Most hated hotkey
Every single shortcut in Lectra Modaris back when I used it in school. Not a single one is common with 99% of softwares out there. That feeling when you press Ctrl+C and it does something completely different than "Copy"...Ctrl+Z didn't undo anything either... It took me a little while to get used to it because of this.… -
Re: Lighting doesn't build?
There is something in there that invalidates itself, for example streaming in another level that was not part of the original rebuild would do this. There are also certain setups with dynamic lights that can kill it, and I am sure a few more exceptions I am overlooking now. A package (mesh) change that happened after the… -
Re: Nissan SR20DET engine
Phenomenal modelling! Thanks a ton for the video too, I like you're technique - I've been using max retopo tools alot at work and love em! If you don'd mind the crit, there's a couple of things I spotted in your video that could polish up your workflow. You use step build alot, but I keep seeing you go out into bridge to… -
Re: CAD > mobile optimization workflow issue!
We had a process for this that wasn't fun but gave good results. 1. Import High Poly parted mesh into 3dCoat and voxelize to one object. 2. Use the Fill and Smooth brushes to close gaps, remove surface noise, and soften hard corners. (This is the important step that helps the auto retopo tools.) 3. Export to temp mesh. 4.… -
Re: Blizzardfest 2014 GA Challenge - Master Thread
Started to concept some stuff out. I think the way I am going to make this a "hero" item is to step it in some lore. After the Horde crept into Ashenvale and razed the forests for lumber, the Night Elves had had a harder time maintaining siege weapons. To help repair and replace parts, the Druids have stepped up to "grow"… -
Re: Halloween mod models
thank you, I'm not going to be doing it that high poly. I created that skull as a spline cage so I could have more control over the curves. I used a surface modifier with 5 steps which makes it over 12,000 polys, but ingame I'm making it at 2 steps which is about 10% of that (1200 polys) The textures I used for the scythe… -
Re: Dark Temple
Hi everyone! Sorry for having been absent, but I was at the end of my thesis and I was very busy preparing the presentation and filling a lot of documents for the administration. After that, I decided to take a break because I really needed it. Nevertheless, I continued -step by step- working on the temple which is already… -
Re: Portfolio review - losing interest in 3d
Meloncov covered a good bit of it for industry realities, so I'll respond to your last paragraph. I personally think the best advice anyone can give you is to take a step back and clear your head. Don't even worry about 3D for now. Clear your head of all the stress and worries. That is the first step above all else. So… -
Re: Do NDA's really matter given the remote work situation many developers are facing right now?
@NikhilR , I'm repeating myself, but I think you got your steps wrong. If goal is "improve work/life conditions for people in the industry", then steps need to be: 1. get in industry (which means toe the line and make friends) 2. gain influence within the industry (which means make more friends and do good work) 3. become… -
Re: Zbrush displacement map issue.
I have also run into this issue, and wondered if anyone had managed to find the solution? In the example above I have merely output a paraboloid shape as a heightmap from S/D, and then used this as an alpha within Zbrush. The surface is merely a flat plane in this instance. I too have the stepping / jagged edge problem. I…
