quick update I tried importing Axe Only shows head and rig also but I was able get some information off the script editor. Heres the Pasete: // C:/Users/GriffeXe/Desktop/axe_model.dmx.smd // The current time is: 16:52:37.81 Enter the new time: // Warning: problem creating smd weight map template // // Warning: Command…
Yeah I was trying to make a more affordable setup by creating a light tent (basically white light coming evenly from all directions) and using a rotating model in the hopes that I could maybe get away with using one camera taking multiple pictures as the object rotated. I understand that the lighting isn't supposed to…
To me the most important feature would definitely be ease of acquisition and automation. That is to say, not having to stitch different views together as a post process, and not having to manually calibrate anything. Basically : the process being as easy as scanning a document in a 2d scanner. For instance I'd gladly…
Hi all, i thought a while about what i could write regarding the engine. It is designed as an in-house tool and neither planned nor built for public use. Maybe we open it up one day. I don't know. I am a strong supporter of linux and open source myself. So here are just some features and techniques to give you a rough…
Working in Atari tech support we had to set up exchanges for Thousands of ps2 games. I would be on the phone for hours sometimes several calls over weeks, trying to get people to understand its not the disc. People wouldn't accept the fact that thier ps2 was junk and needed to be fixed. "But all my other games only lock up…
Here's what I had roughed out: "The Actor likeness challenge! Actor likenesses have become a bit of a staple work diet of mine and I have this feeling that games and Hollywood will be converging more in the future. So this will become a pretty handy skillset to prove and improve upon I think. In my slight downtime in…
Establishing the real world scale of production and prototype military hardware can be fairly easy with a little research. Using tanks as an example: most designs were based around existing equipment. So at a minimum, the caliber of the main armament is almost always known. Add to this all of the standardized off the shelf…
Only 30 minutes to design before work, so no wow factor here, but I hate to leave a thread in p&p with no images. I'm taking a look at the classic 360 degree shooter series Descent. Vehicles are way outside my comfort zone, so it should be fun. It's been a while since I've played it, but as far as i remember you play an…
Please don't spread misinformation. Zbrush actually doesn't use your GPU at all, which is why it runs so passably on average computers compared to most tools of the trade. For Zbrush you'll therefore get more benefit from a stronger CPU, and it generally even benefits from having more cores available as the sculpting…
In China: go to the dodgy hardware bazaar and bring a local to haggle for you. Or better: go to Media Markt! (I'm so damn happy they opened a store here!). Actually I hate shopping for hardware here because of the bazaar mentality and haggling involved. There's usually no warranty from the vendor and no return of…
