My current portfolio has taken me 6 years. It's a combination of learning new art principles, boredom from staring at a monitor for hours at a time, evolving hardware requirements, and having a lot of patience and concentration. This was my first car I made in 2013. It took a month and I still had no clue what I was doing…
There have been some rumours of co-op multiplayer and hints of a story too. http://sillegamer.com/2011/12/27/god-of-war-iv-set-to-feature-online-co-op-with-kratos-deimos-psm3-jan-2012/ Assuming that isn't all bullshit, I think a better option would be to actually take some cues from the Greek mythology on which the series…

The polycount wiki is has some good info for 3dsmax and maya. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/GradientMapping Other 3dsmax gradient workflows/scripts: Gradient maps that use world space…
Set the right gamma settings in max If there is no settings (max 2014, 2015) You need to correct your output gamma manually when saving. Try 1.0 or 2.2 depending on you currently "Gamma/LUT settings" That strange decision is made for much more easy and solid float point renderings. By default max sets input and output…
Well, I imported my model into maya as I usually do.. I cant use the original maya file because it was done in Maya 2014 and the file wont open in 2013 or earlier... So as always, i just export as an OBJ, after cleaning it up of course... I thought maybe my issue was that I had 'grouped' sections and then exported.. But…
Bumpity bump. This year I learnt some 3ds basics in school and kinda liked it so I wanted to try it at home. In school we had 2010 version and you could pan with MMB, then press alt and viewport would immediately rotate. However I just downloaded my 3ds max 2012 student, installed SP 2 and product update 12. Found out I…

FWIW I had the same problems with Nightshade in 2016.5, probably facing the same thing you are now. I couldn't find an alternative in 2018 for texel density. The issue stems from having very small UV shells, you probably have a series of very thin triangle shells, where there's a distance of 0.00001 between two points.…
I lost power when working on a map in UDK and the power randomly went out, and came back on right away. But now I can't open my map at all. I load the external packages the map requires, and then try to load the map, and UDK instantly crashes. This is what is in the log: Log: Log file open, 12/04/12 21:49:07Init: WinSock:…
