Re: New Portfolio Piece - Torowyn's Rocket Tower
Update: I added several lights, including ones that are slightly blue-tinted and less powerful than the other ones, to bring out some highlights. Also messed with some mesh placements, and added more foliage. Still not quite sure where to go from here... I want to call it a wrap, but I feel like there should be more for me… -
Re: Positive Affirmations and Mental Maintenance
there's something really powerful in the change in mindset from being a victim of emotions to being a participant/analyst. I'm learning in any measure, that's what can keep the scales tipped in your favor. stories like yours continue to drive home that point. also, on your subject of upbringing. I've talked to others irl… -
Re: Gears of War 3 - Environment Art
The 'tech' is that these assets are modular and flexible, (With some bend and FFD modifiers, this is quite literal sometimes!) enough to be reused and recycled among a few more specialized meshes sprinkled around here and there, in addition to decals and different lighting conditions to further differentiate the small… -
Re: Help with 3ds Max Custom Bone animating?
Hi, what controllers your custom rig bones have? if you are animating using translations (IK for example): You can verify your bone's rotation and position controller types (in this case position might be correct) in Motion panel. By default, IK goal (it's just helper) should use PositionXYZ, which has Bezier controller… -
Re: Southern Somali Presidential Guard.
SpiderDude - Cool! i will definitely look into that, Im going to set up the udk scene and lighting to see what I am getting from the bare bones and do some evaluating then I will probably go back and do some more sculpting after that. DWalker - Definitely agree! the sweat is going to be in the end and the head definitely… -
Re: Video uploads on Polycount?
WebM is a container format especially created for Internet streaming. This open source video container is developed by Google based on Matroska and encoded by VP8 and Vorbis (updated to VP9 and Opus since 2013). MP4, abbreviated term for MPEG-4 Part 14, is also a container format following ISO/IEC standard, but more… -
Re: PNG Vs. TGA question in Substance
IIRC ue4 doesn't support 16bit textures (for materials) and the engine converts them to 8bit. I remember seeing some people with problems with washed out textures in ue4 with the sRGB check box not doing what it was supposed to. As for the TGA looking dull and oversaturated it might be that the sRGB property isn't checked… -
Re: Fat distribution and deposit in human body
Probably not what you want to hear, but: life drawing. and if possible, grabbing n manipulating the fat of people you know well enough to let you molest them. No better reference than life. I'd share online resources if i knew them, but I mostly just use IRL resources. I found animating fat people really taught me the… -
Re: 3dsmax9 and windows7
This may be a stupid question but did you install both service pack 2 and hot fix x64? Last thing I HAD to do to run max 9 was turn off "user account control" which btw is a bloated piece of nonsense anyway yet it conflicted with the program!! If win 7 has UAC be sure to turn it off as it does nothing for protection unless… -
Re: Brand new to polycount--looking for peer critique on some hero-props.
The Han Dynasty sword is nice, really no crits on that :) I think what could be good to focus on is material definition/variation on projects like the Railgun - e.g. take a look at the materials and presentation on this asset: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eXngD Also, iirc this tutorial is pretty sweet for how to…
