Re: Mari 2.0 is out
Bodypaint can go either way. Funny enough, I started using Bodypaint precisely because it had 2D projection mode. I find that "true" 3D painting doesn't really work for me. The brush skipping across seams is a pain. Also painting very low resolution textures (like 128 or 256) with actual 3D painting is a pain in the ass,… -
Re: 3DS Max, reset x-form
Hmmm, resetting with the PEN tools with the pivot preserve box ticked and my pivot is not staying still haha, it's rotating as if I'd pressed reset x-form. I'm wondering now if the issue is that at some stage I've rotated the sub-object to tweak something and then I've also tweaked the pivot to get the alignment right.… -
Re: [Portfolio] Daniel M, Prop Artist
next gen gaming, yes. But still in next gen gaming we cant go "crazy" with textures. In Reach, there were a few assets that got crunched down to a 256 or 128 texture that were half the size of the player. Its really tough, but the assets themselves decide the final texture size. Are they hero objects? or ambient filler?… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge Feb'14 -- Concept-Voting
I don't know if I'll have time to participate in this one or not as I have quite a bit of travel planned however, I think something more realistic would be a good idea. I think that alternating between realism and something more fantasy or toon will keep it fresh as well as force people out of a comfort zone they may have.… -
Re: PC build for 3D help
Like others have said, I would build a pc that costs only 1300-1500 bucks and upgrade/build a new one in 2-3 years. This way you get a lot more bang for the buck. But if you really want to spend your $4000 at once you could go with something like the following: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 3400 Mhz) -… -
Re: Building Modularly....Advice
You could create 5 different textures for the same building blocks but if you only changed the texture of near identical looking buildings it's gonna be noticeable. The bottom line is you want a set of modular pieces which can be combined in a variety of ways to produce noticeably different buildings and structures. On top… -
Re: [MEL Script] Batch FBX Exporter
I have my UCX rename script I can toss in, then you can mod how you need. I just updated it to do just simple rename as well. Need to update my random select as well. global proc UCXnameUI(){string $window = `window -title "UCXNamer v.0.9"`;string $meshName;string $meshSuf;string $meshLetter;rowColumnLayout… -
Re: Business district enviroment
JO, are you using a reference? With the stop sign and more recent building snafus, it seems more like you're building randomly what you think is right. The proportions on that first street show look weird. The street/sidewalk seem very thin. There isn't much space on the sidewalk for people to have a safe distance from… -
Re: Portfolio overhaul
aesir: thanks! Yeah the head is pretty much WIP, so I tossed some photogrpah on it but didnt bother cleanin the seams for now. all in all i am kind of unsure with the head. I am thinking of reunmapping it all together with the hands and use no mirroring... Thing is the face is unique rest is mirrored which worked before… -
Re: Discussing issues at work, grounds for firing?
discuss w/e you feel comfortable with others, but DON'T let the management know.. Besides, exactly! a fairness argument is NOT leverage, quitting is. if you would work for free that is what you are worth to management. i worked as a lead position and a buddy of mine was making just a bit more (2%?). He got another offer &…
