Re: [ Texturing ] Windshield wiper trace effect
Use the rectangle tool, make sure it set to paths. Drag out a rectangle roughly the size of one of the wiper arcs. Use the add anchor point tool to add new mid-points to the two horizontal sides of the rectangle ( just eye the midpoint ). Then take the direct select tool, select the two anchor points you just created and… -
Re: anyone running GTX 670`s?
I just got a Geforce 660ti today (evga superclocked variant), and ran a few tests. With Max 2012 I got about 50fps with 5mil untexture tris on screen at once; Not bad but not amazing either. And with Maya 2012 I got between 10-35fps with 1mil untexture tris on screen at once (bounces around a lot). Maya doesn't seem to… -
Re: JacqueChoi - DOTA 2 Thread
Thanks for that Keen! Does look a bit small. My idea weren't working really well in ortho, so I did a 3/4 sketch: Still a bit worried I'm forcing a bulkier/epic type design that might be forcing aesthetic choices they didn't want. Wondering if I should just go with a character that better suits my strengths, or continue on… -
Re: Frankensteins lab
The answer for Unreal is yes and no, this should explain it. EDIT: Silly me, I realized I should've explained this better. When you first create a level in Unreal it's empty nothing is there. If you add some objects to the level and attempt to view them in lit mode you will see nothing. Once you add a light to the scene… -
Re: [Maya] XGen AO Baking & Mental Ray
Hey Justo, here all my 3 settings - quality, the scenes-screen with the AO max distance and the render passes screen. For that passes-screen you need to go to the plug-in manager. I am not sure you would need the other settings once you get the render passes and select the AO pass to be rendered. Sorry, I wish I would be… -
Re: what other forums/site are good for looking for work?
I picked up a bit of work off of conceptart.org once. TigForums has a jobs section too, it's for indies so the pay might not be super hot though I've never tried it out so you never know... Gamedev.net and IndieGamer forums might be good places to look for work too. Once in a blue moon someone posts looking for contractors… -
Re: Game series you wish had continued, and those you wish hadn't.
Should go on: Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series. I have others but when I think of a series of games that I wish they would make instead of The Forced Unleashed games...it's these. Jedi Kinght is sooo much better than the FUL games. Should Die: Man so many good options! Know what I'm going to say? Call of Duty. That franchise… -
Re: Where have all the artists gone??
I've been thinking about this too. Pimping and previews just doesn't have the general awesomeness it used to. Pro's just don't post on it as much, it's anyone's guess as to why. Longer hours? Tired of posting? Increased NDA's? I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that 3d is now somewhat commonplace, posting a great… -
Re: A Rock! In Zbrush! Woo!
Narh, I felt the same as you, once. I hated references, and honestly, I still forget them from time to time. But you ARE going the wrong way. Not just with your attitude, but with learning as well. If you do a character, you dont just invent your own random anatomy, because you feel like it. You have to really study that… -
Re: Tileable Textures in Zbrush?
Hey, I'm no expert in zbrush but I've come across that issue once : I found that with the noise maker you can wrap an alpha around your mesh, even if it's cylindrical. But you do need proper UVs. Once you exported your character inside Zbrush, go to Noise maker / click on UV so it wraps the pattern around the UV, and click…
