Re: the un-charming Prince and other wips
okay, maybe a dametime post will work out a little better, so I'm trying out Maya 2012 (longtime user but we've got max at work and it's growing on me) and I've got my first test bake for the head, 4k tri right now, which is a little high for the target but pretty low if it was Naughty Dog and easy to reduce further. I… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
@EQ, I was about to mention Face Weight Normals, glad MoP already brought it up. If you ran the script below on #3 of your first post I think most of the skewing would be relieved. Of course, all the cavats you mentioned still apply. However, Maya defaults to Face Weighted Normals since 2012. Anyway here is my script for… -
Re: Invisible hat (help pls)

I'm sry if some of my ideas have been posted but im short on time and cant read the whole thread. -try freezing the transformations. when this is not done, at least in maya, weird stuff happens with the… -
Re: ZSwitcher plug-in
@Kewop Decam, I know this is a ZSwitcher thread, but I promised to come back with news of Switcher once we updated it to work with all the Graphite tools. Good news, Switcher 1.5 has been released yesterday and is compatible with all the new Graphite tools. As I'm sure you already know, some of the Graphite tools make… -
Re: [UE4] Morgue
I'm not sure about the ceiling, but for the walls. 1. X-Ray viewer (could glow dim with an x-ray on it?) 2. Chart of the human body 3. Remember to wash hands near the sink 4. Maybe some red text (can't think of any right now) to add a hint of red to match the trashcan. 5. Labels on the equipment:… -
Re: Is the game industry bloated with developers?
Earthquake, you had a most agreeable list. I expect my self-critique to also be like this. Being that I believe myself to also be a slow learner, it will take me twice the time. It is most unfortunate. My initial thoughts for getting into the industry were to graduate college and work at TimeGate Studio (makers of Fear and… -
Re: Wild West environment
at a glance, it's too dark, and the door is too bright (or just right?). Also the proportions seem to squashed and stumpy. As in, everything's wider than it is tall. A recognizable aspect of old west buildings is that they have a large facade and a smaller building behind that. Where as you have built a building with a… -
Re: Exporting Splines
the only reliable compatible data transfer in max throughout starting from as early as R 2.5 up to 2012 (R 14.0) is MaxScript. About everything you construct in max is stored and retrieved as arrays and variables that can be read, modified stored and recreated with maxscript. Should you be interested in this route I would… -
Re: Spiderman 4 scrapped, Toby and Raimi no more
Venom needed to be the sole villain. he is spidermans arch nemesis and far and away one of the most important stories to tell, you can't dredge that up in the middle of a harry osborn/sandman/gwen stacy story.. each one of those were their own arcs in the comics for a reason. I was so excited when I heard that he was going… -
Re: Transparencies, sorting and intersecting
order independent transparency techniques have been around for long, mostly as they are important for vis stuff outside games. The problem is the techniques are not the lightest on the hardware and often require a bit more fancy setup. I.e. its cool for CAD/Medical where you have just one type of object you show, but in…
