Re: Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Yes I was suggesting putting a power node between the cube map and the multiply. It functions as a contrast enhancer, leaving the brighter portions less touched than the darker portions. Brighter areas of a scene reflect better than darker ones as they have more energy they can lose to the material and still be reflected.… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
i really jsut want to have it so you can make your own radial menus, and be able to make them with 2 to 8 slots in them instead of just 8. when i get time, im going to make some example videos of some features and UI enhancements, using other apps like modo, and maya etc and talk about possible ways it these enhancements… -
Re: A good place to start?
Short list. Can explain later or if asked: Game Dev programs across the world would like game art for their student game projects. Quality will vary. Good example (full disclosure: I art directed on it): The Maestros at USC Games. We had ~25 volunteer artists at any one time Indie games on places like TIGsourxe or… -
Re: From Blendshapes to Bones
I have to say, thanks Eric! I tested everything today and it works perfectly. What I did was, just what I said basically. Attach constrained a bunch of dummy boxes to key areas of the morphing mesh (as per the XSI facerobot example bone structure), then Position Constrained a bone to each dummy object. For the eyelids,… -
Re: Billboarding in Max
1. Lookat constraint. Script here. 2. Projection map, plus volume light atmos effect. Here's an example of #2 I made awhile back. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/images/volumelight_nebula.max [edit: didn't mean to brush off rooster's ideas, I posted last night pretty late. There are many valid ways to skin this cat.… -
Re: Bunker level kit (W.I.P) feedback wanted
(UPD), I've modeled and textured a locker and some pipes and added them to the scene since the last post. I've also looked into vertex painting / texture blending, but I'm unsure how it applies to a modular kit, since it appears vertex painting would be used once the room and objects had been placed together in order to… -
Re: Why outrourcing studio doesnt give creditis to artists?
Here is my logic. Whats the point if u work for example 5 years in the company and u dont have any commercial portfolio piece to show after. And if u decide to leave or studio shuts down suddenly.......and now u wanna apply somewhere else for a job u have nothing to show after 5 years. Ofc point is knowledge and experience… -
Re: My portfolio is weak, send help please
I second this, that orc ass needs saving otherwise nobody will hire you. Seriously though, you're not off to a bad start but these aren't portfolio level works as much as they are studies. Portfolio work should be comparable to the companies you aspire to work for. Avoid anything called "WIP" in your portfolio section.… -
Can you pose a rigged character in engine without pre-made anims?
Hey I'm planning on presenting a character in UE4 once I finish the rig, but wanted to know if there is any way to pose it for screenshots without exporting anims? I ask because I'll likely place the character in one of the content examples and it would be great to not have to export parts of the scene into max, pose and… -
DS specs
Hi guys I had some questions about texturing a vehicle to Nintendo DS specs. Does the DS support reflections on car materials from an environment map or a reflection map? Would an artist just basically paint in some static highlights or reflections into the diffuse map for this type of texture. Some info that might help is…
