A little bit of progress for the medieval scene. I have added in some signage and lanterns. I especially enjoyed creating the 'Picklebury' font for the sign. For the lanterns I added in a gentle sway using sine with world position offset. The tree branches also have simple grass wind applied to them along with the cloth…
The problem there is that the majority of the spammers are real people, not bots. A lot of them make actual comment on the content of the thread that they post in. I've even seen a few of them give critique on art in Pimping and Previews. Curiously, the cleaning casette website (which I opened via google, so there won't be…
This hardsurface kit contains 100 models that were used in the creation of
Tor Frick's latest Mech
projects. All models are weighted subD geometry, and available as both Modo preset
files (lxl) and Alembic files for import to other 3D applications (for example
maya). 41 of the presets are set up to work with the…
Paintover part 1: I decided to avoid using crates in this theme. I didn't wanted high-tech objects, and wooden crates seemed to be a bit generic. Also, I think that nowadays players would expect them to be destructible rather than permanent fixtures defining the game space. I decided to put a tree covering the area where…
not much to crit at this point, still a bit early to pimp. remember to rotate your white pole so the repetition isn't as noticeable. Check out http://www.cgtextures.com/ for some bolts and seams and some rust reference. Also you say it's a 'old container' you need to know what type or there's no reason to build it, is it…
To be clear, DDS isn't destructive. DXT is the destructive, lossy compression format you're thinking of. DDS is merely a container, which can contain different types of compressed or non-compressed image data. Another vote for TGA format over PNG, at least for game development use. Shaders typically don't work well with…
As I mentioned earlier, converting an active document will create a file called BaseMaterial [Normal].PSD. To clarify further, this means that loading an image into Photoshop that isn't contained within an NDO *.PSD will be converted to a document called BaseMaterial [Normal].PSD. This behavior can be bypassed by using the…
When you add an object to a model container, the model container should have a root null just to let you see where it is. As for Child Transform Compensation (Child Comp), when it is turned on it allows you to move a parent object around without affecting the position of any child objects. This can be found on the Main…
Could it be that the plugin.usersettings.ini is being overwritten, or not being written to by the installer? This should contain a path to the edgesmooth plugin location. Yep, I managed to not migrate my old website in time... I've put up a temporary download location for it: http://edgesmooth.pjanssen.nl/ The sourcecode…
Thanks for the info all. For some reason I thought the rule books would just contain rules on how to play the tabletop game. Silly of me to think that it wouldn't contain any of the story surrounding the universe. Any of you check out Dawn of War yet? I'm usually not a big RTS fan, but I am loving how Relic has streamlined…
