Re: Questions concerning modeling for games
What game engine are you referring to? 1. Most engines will attach weapon models to joints, tags, bones or some other such dynamic data attached to the player skeleton. You should never have to model more than one character just because it's holding different weapons. 2. Similarly they may have keyframe or scripted event… -
Re: Need help in understanding Weight Distribution and modeling for animation [Maya]
Here are some things that I would check. 1. Is the model perfectly symmetrical? Slight variations in symmetry will cause mirroring issues. 2.

Re: Art Restoration Services
TeriyakiStyle: They were appraised before they were donated to the antique store. The place I got them at is a non-profit that supports a local food bank, so the previous owner probably got a nice tax write off. I'll definitely check out Guy Downing and see if he seems like he'd be good for taking care of them. There isn't… -
Re: Butterflies/Birds in UDK?

Re: Skin Shader - Realtime Translucency
Hey, I found a couple of things that might help. First of all you can turn on a frame rate feature for the viewport of 3ds Max. This might help you judge the performance a little bit better. Open up your max folder and find the file called 3dsmax.ini. Open it with Notepad. Find the entry called [Performance]. Add a new… -
