Re: Next-Gen Wish List?
REALTIME ANIMATION! I've love to see a major improvement smoothness and transition in character animation. I am quite annoyed at current-gen 3d characters popping and snapping in realtime gameplay. Basicly i want realtime gameplay to look like cutscene animation with all the subtle details we call realistic. I'd like the… -
Re: Metafly
Pretty fun design, though I've my doubts that the legs would fit in that compartment The texture could use some loving... it comes off as very flat. This thing is mostly metal, yet it has no sharp highlights that might indicate it. In fact, it looks like the entire thing is made from one constant material... there are no… -
Re: Mecanique (Operation: Windmill)
damn this thing is cool- It has a real nice sense of scale. I cant help but think that the top needs something. maybe an observation platform? large antenna? satellite array? right now there's just these boxy forms that come to an abrupt stop. also - I second what everyone is saying about the grass and also the way the… -
Re: How is your team/studio organized?
We're currently using Pivotal Tracker. No complaints from team. Tasks are prioritized by a feature's importance (determined by people managing the project) and our time estimates to finish a task. We also use Slack but it's not really useful since we are all within 30 feet of each other. Slack is useful if you have people… -
Re: WIP-Female RoboCop- Auto .40
So, been a long while, this post is WAY buried now. Since I've been freer from work and posting more, I figured I'd start back on this.I've put in about 8.5 hours in it thus far. Excuse the black background, my background wouldn't show up, and I didn't feel like rerendering. So the design was based on the SEAL's mantra of… -
Re: Cody's Animation Work Thread
couple of things i notice: you know these right?: http://www.animationtoolworks.com/library/article9.html several of these fundamentals seem to still be missing, and they should be the foundation of your animation or else it just won't look or feel right. the toes stay low to the ground, which gives the impression that he… -
Re: Max Rendering Help - Fit mesh to view
yeah ,- just to be clear this is roughly how the code works: 1.) generates a temp variable for the camera and the reference object 2.) loops through your selection (I just assume that you only selected those 2 objects) 3.) within the selection check which one is the camera and which is the other one. If it is the object… -
Re: Lazymouse for Photoshop?
Here is a little hack i worked out, it isnt perfect but it might help. What i did was make a really large brush, say 1000x1000 and make a large black dot at one end, and a very small black dot at the other, you then stick the rotation on direction, so that the large dot follows the brush with a bit of distance. What this… -
Re: Texturing Lines on a Large Paved Area
For paint lines on tarmac that a player can get close to, you'll definitely want to go decals with alpha. The resolution won't hold up in a large mask for a huge area like that, and I take it that different areas need different types of lines meaning tiling would be difficult. Solid geometry planes or cuts just looks too… -
3dsmax / vertex color stuff in materials is either bad or I'm dumb
soo Can't believe this has never come up for me cos I've been using max since it released but still.. is there' really no good way to bring vertex color into a material as a 3 channel mask ? The vertex color map appears to effectively ignore the z/w component so that's useless. I could dump this out to a game engine or…
