Re: Popular games and their weapons
I think Jadeeye's communication point is the biggest one for me: you need to communicate the item/weapons main purpose to the player as fast as possible, often within milliseconds. Going with a strange design makes that job more difficult. If the game is all about scopes and variety and whatnot (like, say, a sniper game or… -
Re: man do jump
Good start. I think the main thing not working right now first of all is the timing. The entrance and exit to the jump seem too similar. Think like this, getting into the jump requires more power(Less frames) and getting out of it requires less power(More frames) Next you need to find the value of keeping straight body… -
Re: How to ? Directional lightmaps with 3dsMax/Vray
Yeah, again, i'm only artist with light knowledge of the technical stuff. Gamma correction is also a different issue. In liner workflow, ligtht calculation is made in gamma 1 with diffuse textures at gamma 1, and only at the end the gamma 2.2 is applied. I do think the lightmaps shouldn't be gamma corrected. Only the final… -
Re: Help Needed Accurately converted painted Game Map To Heightmap for terrain.
The problem is, that a normal map contains no height informations only informations about the slope/height difference. With some luck, the one who creates the map can give you the height map. If this map is completly painted, then I fear, that you need to recreate it by hand. When you have a coder at hands, you could try… -
Re: Concept art practice sketchpad.
Here are two paintings I did today,completely from my imagination. This is my own version of how I think Kat should have looked in the game.Decently dressed,polite,humble and always positive despite her troubled past.Here,her clothes look dull and washed out with a hood in order not to attract attention to herself.Her bag… -
Re: polarbear's workshop
A different subtool is just like a different object in Max. It just means that you can modify one of them without affecting the others. If you're more comfortable in Max, just make a separate objects in max (for example for the cloth wraps) and import them into zBrush. In zBrush, it will import as one object so what you do… -
Re: isn't enough for even half my model?
Just keep in mind, 30mb of image files on disc may not equal 30mb of video memory. It does get complicated but as a general rule, a 1024x1024 Dxt1 texture with mipmapping (increases size by a third) will use 4.2MB of video memory and only 682kb of disc space. Dxt5 1024x1024 w/mipmaps which is used mostly for normal maps… -
Re: Is there a Ring between edges Maxscript?
1. Get Endverts of 1 selected edge 2. Get all edges connected to the endverts 3. Get all endverts of this edges 4. determine which of these verts form a new edge as a pair 5. save the pair(you will most likely get 2 pairs, one in each direction) 6. do the same procedure again for the edges between the vert-pairs, except… -
Re: Adding Jaw bone to biped in 3ds max
The Skin Pose (which is always a good idea to set before skinning) is just a bookmarked transform than you can always return to. But I'm not sure the Skin modifier uses it for anything.… -
Re: I broke my max 2012s UI
Yea its pretty nice having to fix their UI fuck ups... wee... If you like the ribbon at the top but want it to respect the command panel and keep from moving it down (throwing off years of muscle memory), you can force the command panel to order on top of everything else, keeping the ribbon contained like it is when it's…
