Re: Sever-2 snowmobile
no you re not doing it right, you re just creating n-gons (polygons with more sides than 4) ...the resulting triangle count will be the same, as the engine will triangulate the polygons in the end. the ski-thingies look out of style than the rest of the vehicle. you should look into some period correct hydroplanes to get a… -
Re: Looking for guides/tutorials; Real Time VFX.
From what I've seen so far it is hard to find good resources for realtime vfx as it is basically a mixture of a lot of different disciplines such as lighting, shading, texturing etc. However, here are some tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwKQyDZ4ark And his blog is pure awesomeness:… -
Re: Lets smoke Hookah
All the pillows look photoshopped in? You have this weird haloing effect going on around some of the props like it was a bad composite. And the pillow in the middle (right behind the hooka bong) is going through the little dip on the floor. Also you might knock back the self-illumination on the 2 windows... they pop a bit… -
Re: 2 questions for Low poly modeling
I suspect they're shifting UVs in that example, the same way animated sprites are usually handled in 2d games - the image is non square so i suspect it's not just the one texture in what you've posted There's no really straightforward way to set that up in max - whatever you do it's going to involve either parameter… -
Re: Looking for a game...
When you mentioned the lack of storyline, Battle for Wesnoth was the first to pop into my head, yeah. Have you got anymore info? I'm just going to list a few turnbased strategy titles now, but chances are those won't be it: -Heroes of Might & Magic -Age of Wonders -Netstorm: islands of war (realtime, but I think it was… -
Re: Bowman SciFi Rifle (Concept by dfacto)
Higher spec for the body (and stronger lighting)...also higher res images :D that last one is rendered with MRay, the ones above (and earlier posts) are grabed from the Viewport using a Standard DirectX Material...Max Realtime Display would not do my textures justise, no matter how crappy they are :D If I'd do it again,… -
Re: K. Sutherland signs up for 3 more seasons of 24!!!
saw two seasons myself. somehow addictive at first, but after a while it always became stupid and unbelievable and ... and ... argh! the basic concept of a realtime-show seems fine, but all this lonesome-warrior thing really wears off quickly. his actions are as believable as taken from some super-hero comic strip. whith… -
Re: Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
@Chronic: That method is definitely nicer than an overlay, though it still leaves details looking flat, and not lighting from the right direction. Here's an animated comparison: CrazyBump's mixer is also somewhat nicer to the artist, because it lets you adjust each layer's strength with a realtime 3D preview. Alas, it does… -
Re: Looking to make a career change.. advice anyone?
With some concept of realtime 3D and a business background, sounds like a producer role might work out? Without a solid industry background, I think you're better off looking at the larger studios/companies. They have more roles that tend to be suited to people coming in from other industries. Are you willing to relocate?… -
Re: Pixel shaders in Max
yeah, indeed, it is somewhat easier to make some cool fx in realtime graphics code than teaching max scanline renderer to do the same. I guess we will see more gpu-based renderers soon, things tend to become more flexible and easier to use... then again its one thing for a single object, and totally different if a full…
