Re: Amazon Lumberyard...
Lumberyard tech demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8QyMdAjN6o Things about it could be better like the animation,model polycount and materials. What I am liking about it is the potential and how it can be pushed further. Heard Cryengine V can't be used for archviz animations, only free for games. Lumberyard is free for… -
Re: rock tutorials
i come from a ds and wii background. the way i do this is to make a tileable piece and then deform it with either a bend or path deform and some soft selection manipulation to fit the necessary environment. the tricky thing is the shader. best results come with vertex ao to give the relust depth. of course you get even… -
Re: Star Wars Mania: Docking Bay 94
Howdy all! I haven't posted any progress in a bit, but for those who are interested, I have been cranking away at my Millennium Falcon Model. Getting pretty close to finishing the realtime model. Just need to finish the details on the rear upper engine deck, then finish the lower rear half, and the landing struts. I may or… -
Re: Softimage problems
I really ought to update that thing with a shader that doesn't require extra steps >.< Open Windows Explorer, find the shader you want, click and drag it onto the model. Open the material in the render tree (shortcut key 7) and plug in the images/coordinates/tangents/binormals you want. Also be sure to Switch the viewport… -
Re: Sharp Edge (a game character) [finished]
Today I made a super quick rig test in order to get a better idea of how is the sheath going to look in motion and which hinge points do I need to model. Plus, I want to know how much of the rig will have to be computed in realtime by the engine. I'm not too happy about how the vertical strap is clearly stretchy. That's… -
Re: Baking Environment Info Into Diffuse Map
You dont bake reflections into the diffuse texture. you apply them in realtime via a shader. The reason being, reflections are based on the angle you view an object from. the same point on a model will look totally different from different angles. If you still want to do it you can create a blend map in the Render to… -
Re: Animation Mentor, post graduation thoughts and advice
Thanks Jacque, much appreciated. I actually enjoy putting together cyclic animation, it's one of the few things I have covered in what I've been learning up until now. I mean, I have zero experience with things like Motion Builder, or even working within a realtime pipeline in terms of the joint setups and baking, but I… -
Re: VFX for games - CE3. How to ?
Yeah, I was going to point you to imbue as well. As far as I know it's the only forum dedicated to realtime vfx. There are a lot of studentes there but some of us who have been doing it for a while comment a bit as well. Eat3d recently released a couple of DVDs that look pretty sweet even though they are for UDK. Same… -
Re: rendering Characters for Portfolio
Xoliul shader is a viewport shader. It is meant to view your model and maps in real time and not in render time. If you want to render out your work you can use standard Max materials or others that are for render time. I would personally just set up a decent 3 point light setup with your character on a simple turntable,… -
Re: Verve painting app
I made some mini tutorials for verve here: http://www.taron.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2511 One example: Warping in verve can be super fun. Mostly if you turn on fluidity and the warp gets liquid. But sometimes you simply want this classic liquify effect from Photoshop. There are some rules you have to obey to achieve…
