Re: [Coming Soon] PBRTK - PBR Viewport Shader for 3DS Max
1.) unity may do that, but it's incorrect on a technical and physical level. Emissive pixels are considered to pass without lighting/shadowing. They can also give off illumination based on their brightness, depending on the engine (and usually they're great in combination with bloom, even if they don't give off… -
Re: WIP Stgw. 57 / SIG 510
Hey gfelton, This thing rocks. There's a lot of interesting shapes going on with this gun. I love the intermittent holes in the barrel, the organic hand grip in front of the magazine, and the sights look really cool, some close ups of them would be nice to see. A few things that stood out to be was the stock. It doesn't… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
I won't be the first to say this... the animation packages such as maya, xsi, and 3dsmax are easy to go back and forth with on the animation side. -Once you learn one of them. Both use dopesheets, both use a curve editor, and, minor changes in how things are keyed depending on the rigs.. When it comes down to it, you just… -
Re: Paul's Animation Thread - Critique Needed
Sure! Generally I'd recommend keeping a reel you're sending to recruiters under 1 minute. If it's just a collection of work, then over that is fine, but it's hard to keep someones attention for too long. Since you are updating it I may be reiterating things you already know, but a few things that stand out- The Batman… -
Re: Game series you wish had continued, and those you wish hadn't.
Final Fantasy... They should have made another game based on that. Seriously though, System Shock NEEDS a proper, hardcore sequel already. None of this watered down for the masses bollocks that Bioshock is. Now I love me some Bioshock, don't get me wrong, but I can't stand games that hold your hand too much... Quake 1 and… -
Questions regarding hard surface modelling
Hi I'm currently researching hard surface modelling. I don't know if there are any papers out there on the subject (I've yet to find any), but could anyone share their knowledge or links on how it's changed over the years? The most efficient workflows? When did newer techniques first emerge and become common workflows… -
Re: Best method to overlay bakes?
Ah sorry I think I need to clarify, the model is still WIP, that grey phone is just a diffuse placeholder, it hasn't been unwrapped yet. Same with the paneling on the right hand side, only it's been unwrapped and just has a basic color applied to the texture. The issue is that a spec map and a normal map exist for pretty… -
Re: Question regarding your asset building process
In most cases you model first, texture second. If you need some slight variation, e.g. a sword with a red handle and a sword with a green handle, you can use UDK to create that variation for you when you set up your material. (And that's just scratching the surface.) There is indeed a method of creating one "all inclusive"… -
Re: [WIP] First character ever
Ouch. :) Sorry, I didn't intend for that to come across as a lie. I've sculpted 1 head bust before, a jacket, an anatomy study that turned out crappy and a hand full of hard surface stuff for school inside zBrush. I didn't mean for it to sound like it was my first time opening zbrush. This is the first character I've ever… -
Re: Mesh Blend - Tool for Maya inspired by Polystein Kit
Haha i love that phrase :D tho i can understand, these type of tools always fail us on certain tasks once we buy them, and in certain cases this tool will be no exception, or at least for it's first Beta version :) To answer your questions one by one : yes, it can handle non-square selections, in fact i'll be demoing it on…
