Re: Lets talk middle generation console upgrades
While in theory it might be a sound idea to have console upgrades and stuff... you then run the risk of: "This PS4 game will only run on version y of the console". At which point you're needlessly dividing your user base... We're only a couple of years into this console cycle, we likely haven't even broken the mid-tier… -
Re: Strange UV error
Thanks for your replies :) Just so you know, I am mapping the objects in my scene to an atlas with 9 different textures. Some of them needs to be mapped like a tiled texture, so if I have to use padding to compensate, it will be almost impossible to get the desired results. Is there any way to save the vertex position on… -
Re: Aug Bar from Hell
Really nice approach to this so far, I feel like you've got so much more to incorporate from what you currently have... since you've already gone along the lines of skulls and hell why not use the whole spectrum of the theme? like maybe use different bone parts to make up for places like the back of the guns etc... Some… -
Re: Feedback Request: Portfolio
too much random stuff, nothing is categorized. You should make a whole environment, people will care more about that then these thing. You have one that it looks like y o u did parts of, but it's just not enough imo. And a bucket wip? Like why, it's a bucket. There you go. oh, also the steering wheel could have used a lot… -
Re: Normal map from a texture
So that you don't reverse the normal. 0-0.5 (or 0-127) in the blue channel means the forwards vector gets reduced so much that it points backwards. Hence the strong blue tint to tangent space normal maps, it's range in most circumstances stays within the 0.5-1 range because any less than that and it'll appear to get lit… -
Re: Transfer Keys (3ds Max 8)
i've never really dabbled in animation, so there's probably an easier way than this, but you could try: turn auto key on, select your bone, go to every keyframe (unless there are hundreds, then this will take ages), and use the Align tool, tell it to inherit the X Y and Z rotation. Skip to the next key frame number and do… -
Re: help with export issue in zbrush
thanks for all suggenstions but i think the problem lays in me messing around in the preview window. it seems logical since the high poly is rotated and such. so i kind of fixed the problem, and now i have a nice normal map. but it is still weird. what happens if i accidently touch the preview window in the future? do i… -
Re: Low Polygon Joints - What is the best way?
Ok gents, this is all good and well for elbows and knees. What about shoulders? Or thumbs? you know the joints that rotate in more than one plane? I'm having a hard time with shoulders right now. Perhaps you guys can post a couple pics with suggestions on how the geo should flow on the shoulders and maybe thumbs? They… -
Re: My guide good 3D artz and stuff
Didnt you tell me the complete opposite of what you just said here? My 3d modeling technique..... If Humanoid: Draw rough, front / side pose of your model traditionally (pencil + paper) and scan them, save them as Bitmaps. Make 2 planes with no segments along the x and y axies. Apply the bitmap to material and material to… -
Re: Recomended ways to texture a normal mapped model?
Well I guess a extra bump slot would be cool too? As for the Doom3/Max differences : A Max rtt: And a map out of doom3 generated with the same source meshes : I can spot differences where the lowpolyedges are supposed to be, its really obvious on the arms... I think it's just Doom3's way to counter balance some harsh…
