Re: How to add blood & gore to custom 3D character models?
Sof and l4d do it in completely different ways iirc. L4d used shaders to make fake holes in enemies whereas Sof simply had the characters broken into pieces when they were built. Both processes have been written up and published but you might struggle to find the sof stuff as it's a good 13/14 years old now (the system was… -
Re: Just graduated, about to buy software, have questions
Yeah fair point! Nah 'Design Premium' is PS Extended, AI, InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver. I wish it did come with AE, my ideal combo would be PS/AI/AE. You can get 'Production Premium' which is Premiere/AE/possibly PS but I need Illustrator. PS Extended has the 3D tools, as far as I know that's the only difference. I'm on… -
Re: [Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Wes Brewer
Reply by w3bz · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - AnimationThanks Sonny!! Christian, I'm worried the skinning isn't going to hold up too well when I start pushing the poses for her attack, we shall find out soon. Ok, I need to remember to keep this updated! At the weekend I added controls to the character so I can actually get the animation started. Then I started on the cycle. I… -
Re: Lifting Animation
I'll just give a list of my feedback. The right knee snap near the beginning. The entire animation is a little long. The pacing of the pick up should be (down > wait > up). Currently it's (down > wait > pelvis up > hands up > shoulders up). Arms should move down in an arc, it's really obvious you are using IK on the arms… -
Re: UTMC - Excavation
Alright now that the deadline is over and done with, people can calm down and I can stop combing the forums for updates... let's just make sure to keep the early submission thread bumped at the very top so they take notice. So onto your concept! This is really rushed out the door and thats too bad but what you have going… -
Re: 3DSMax - Limb snapping issue when using IK
No, I wouldn't say switching to FK helps in such cases; when you want a hand to stay on a table while the body moves about, FK would be a really bad idea. Usually FK is used for movements requiring precise arcs (like arm swings in a walkcycle), while IK is used for precise end positioning, either on objects (hand on a… -
Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
It's not the ISP services that are the problem, it's the publisher servers that always cause issues. It wasn't Telstra (notoriously bad Aus ISP) that screwed up Sim City, it was EA. It wasn't (*USA ISP*) that screwed up the launch of Diablo 3, it was Blizzard. And Microsoft think they can handle online services better than… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
Wasn't Titan Quest also plagued by a bad rep entirely caused by piracy? IIRC the pirates hadn't fully cracked Titan Quest's DRM so apparently the cracked version of game crashed very often and was fairly unplayable. The pirates complained so much that reputation of being buggy tainted the actual retail version. I don't… -
Re: SOMA
Awesome stuff! SOMA is probably one of the few games where you can't get a good look at the character models in-game; it's almost strange to see them clearly in renders like this. As a side note if you've got SOMA installed the supersecret.rar in the game's folder contains tonnes of concept art (inc the character's in this… -
Re: The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
Hey H, unfortunately it seems like tweaking the cage in maya doesn't do much (it can even cause big problems when you simply display it to check its thickness - it's all broken), however, the different results that Kodde posted can be achieved in 3DSMax by positionning the cage verts where you want them (along the length…
