Re: Struggling with Rigging an Art Easel
Yeah, the order of matrix multiplications can give a completely different result, so that's one thing to keep in mind. Another issue is if changing the transform of a parent joint will automatically update the transforms of its child joints, if not you're going to have to do some more complicated algebra. In any case, I… -
Re: 3ds Max 2013 Announced!
Here is the break down as I see it. Pros: Maya style navigation Not because it's better but because its the default for so many apps. Customizable Workspaces This could be handy. I often jump between animation and modeling and have a bunch of jerry-rigged scripts to handle this transition, hopefully this will help. GPoly… -
Re: Autodesk 2014 What's New?
Personally I don't see much happening in Max that would get anyone excited, except the new menu systems and slight Nitrous updates. the perspective match will be helpful in some cases but in our industry matching a camera to a concept isn't all that important or easy given it's perspective is entirely subjective. I see a… -
Re: PNG Exporter - Missing alpha & Compression - Fix for Quixel Suite
Hey Teddy, you're welcome. I forgot to mention that this has only been tested in CC 2014 and i'm unsure which version of Photoshop made available that png compression setting, or if indeed it was simply there from the start and undocumented. In fact I discovered this function later, but never got around to testing it. The… -
Re: Autodesk increase Student Pricing Model for 2013 - by £4000
...eeh yeah there is, its called softimage xsi. I have been a big max user since the last 5 years, last year I switched to softimage and my worflow/speed improved drastically. - it hardly crashes (almost never), the ui is not full of shit, passes are an awesome thing, also overwrites, uv unwrapping is a "mode" not a… -
Re: Tech Art vs Tools Programming
It is indeed a fuzzy line. You also have to understand that there are 2 kinds of tools development roles. Some job ads define "tools developers" as people who develop engine editor related tools, e.g. for Unity, for Unreal or for an in-house engine editor. These usually require C++ and C# skills. The other tools are art… -
Re: Pixelwaves - Portfolio
Hey Thomas, Good to see you post here for some feedback. I think what some people are trying to say is to cutoff some of the bells and whistles besides the content itself. Let your work speak for itself is the best I advice I could give you. I think your rigging demo is looking good, and also showing variety which is… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
There are three quality levels of cinematics in the game, or rather two if we don't count the CG trailers (which aren't actually on the DVD). The game can easily replace Wrex with Wreav in the ingame movies. But those have serious constraints on image quality and content variety - I don't think the game can handle more… -

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
I re-watched Man of Steel last night to catch myself up. I'm seriously considering NOT going to see Batman V Superman over the weekend. Probably going to wait this one out. Watching Man of Steel for a second time reminded me of the problems that were inherent in that movie. From the sound of it, none of that has been fixed…
