Re: "Games Now Legally Considered an Art Form in the USA"
Yes it would, but at the same time, they need to explain very clearly what his will serve as and how it can teach something to the audience through it's art. It's very iffy and all, but generally, under a Government Body, your subsidized 'artwork' needs to carry weight more then average art out there, which then raises the… -
Re: Normal Map Banding
Well, your object is a bit small. You should consider scaling it a bit ( 100x for example ). Editing the lwoply model .obj I can see strange things coming from that Modo exporter ( like unnormalized normals, for example ( vn 0.0051 1.0000 -0.0040 ), so I bet the data could be a bit malformed. If you render a "Wireframe and… -
Re: Post your FX files
The Max viewport will support just about anything you can do in HLSL - so yes - you can do gloss maps no problem - you just have to have an FX file that supports it. Gloss maps are very simple. Just as an example of how powerful shaders are in the Max viewport, here's a screen shot of a fire shader I created with the new… -
Re: floating geometry for normal maps....
[ QUOTE ] i'm trying the normal align tool in max...but i can't seem to get anything to "align" the normal. [/ QUOTE ] Normal align works by aligning one normal on one object to the normal on another object. To use it you: - Select the object to be aligned - then click on the normal align tool - then click on a face on the… -
Re: Looking for retro games with an old rigging technique
That's interesting. So by the time there were full 3D games on the PC, they'd either go with full skeletal animation or MD2-style vertex animation. There probably wasn't an intermediary period of PC games where they'd use this "hierarchical node animation with the segmented meshes" as we saw in consoles. The earliest… -
(advanced?) Substance painter questions. Need help.
I've had a post sitting on the Allegorithmic page, people are reading it but not responding so I maybe this forum can help. I'm trying to figure out how to make this optimal for import into Unity. So I'll try summarizing the issues I still haven't figured out. -------------- I have been working a metal/wood shack. My first… -
Looking to collaborate with 3D Character Artists (Helmets and Armor) - Budget: 3000/4000$
Hi All, I am looking to collaborate with two 3D Character Artists who can help develop our characters for an upcoming Sci-Fi game. We are looking for people who have experience in both hard-surface and organic modeling and know how to texture. There are 2 jobs. One artist will be focused on the helmets and the second job… -
Simulation-Based Content Creation
I was wondering if there are any software/plugins for a theoretical type of simulation-based content creation. I have often become frustrated by the way that current digital content is created, as I often feel there is a significant disconnect between the way digital assets are created and the way matter exists in our… -
Low poly ground texturing approach
Hi guys, I have a little problem with texturing. Image a ground for a low poly game. The ground will be bumpy, I mean it will have a few hills and it won't be just the even plane. Sort of what the example image presents. Now - the ground will be textured with a single small tileable 128x128 texture of grass. So far so… -
Project: Orion Atlas
Dear Community, Hereby I present you our project, currently called Orion Atlas. Our goal is to make a game similar to how Linux was/is being made: from the community for the community. It is going to be a free to play game with lots of features that I will explain in the following. First of all, what we hold most important…
