Hey there! I'm brand new to the animation stuff in Maya (basic knowledge). I would like to know more about how to animate first person and third person characters (Idle, Walk, Run, Jump etc.) Has anyone good learning resources for getting started in animations for especially first person animations in video games?…
Fair point, have you got any examples of where you can point this plagiarism out? I would like to see what this looks like and how different it is from the original, particularly with concept art. I am like a moth to a flame with this tech, while I don't like the lack of consent and acknowledgement to the original artist…
@FrankPolygon - that's an excellent breakdown/practical example and i feel like I've seen you do something similar before. I think if you got your examples and breakdowns together and made them into a sticky the world would be a better place. also.. its worth mentioning that if you're going to LOD the object then you…
This age-old image shows an example with highpoly only: A example showing the baked result would only be of limited value, because the only significant difference there comes from the texture resolution, which will vary per asset. You could increase the texture resolution. However, even if that's an option it doesn't make…
Maybe it 's one of reasons why pro CG soft is still so monstrously inconvenient in general. There are few examples of nice tools and features here and there scattered among different soft . Mostly they are addons and plugins somebody did for free or cheep. So I don't believe in developers. I do believe in open source ,…
Q: If I created a set for an archer, would special arrows count as the secondary/special weapon? Do things like helmets and arrows have to be functional? For example - a cloth cap wouldn't save your head and a whistling arrow wouldn't do much damage but they may fit thematically in a set (not necessarily the same set, just…
Heres pretty much the same example, using a realtime shader in max, that should be fairly representational of what you would actually see in a game engine. You see only the example that uses hard edges really gives you a clean result, the other two examples having pretty obvious smoothing errors. #3 isnt absolutely…
*This is my first attempt at an Environment Scene* For my project I wanted to focus in on the Warhammer universe and in particular the Dwarf world. Looking into the Dwarf world I was able to see that a running cultural theme of drinking and pubs in the Dwarf world. The theme of drinking and dwarves runs into real-life also…
Not so much an example of good writing as so-bad-it's-good writing. And hey, I'm down with that. Army of Darkness is one of my favourite movies. You want an example of genuinely great writing in a video game? And there have been a few examples, but a game that really grabs you and rubs your face in it and shouts "yeah…
Looking like you have the basic silhouette going, you should consider the polyflow in the face, shoulders, and joints. For example in the elbows and knees consider using carrots to help them collapse better, you can look at a the polycount wiki for examples. Go to category Character> character modeling>topology and look at…
