Re: It's about time, Huxley Beta Sign-ups.
oh no I hope not, I didnt enjoy the guildwars structure - its too easy to end up alone with npc buddies and missing the whole point of being online. If other human players arent in sight at all times taking part in tasks offered in the game world then I think the game looses immersion and becomes bland faster than an… -
Re: a new flame to spark your interest
[ QUOTE ] I like C&C, but in order for it to be efective you have to specify what can be done to change the problem [/ QUOTE ] they just arent right, its not really one specific thing. find reference photos, study them if you want to make it more realistic. its not bad, like enix and fatassasin said theres some wierd stuff… -

Re: Welding UVs which are not connected Vertices
As far as Blender is concerned, the "Weld" UV tool only actually welds verts that are welded on the model, and only scales them together to zero if they arent, indeed. However the Minimize stretch feature does keep the islands borders intact. So all in one this might just involve about one more step compared to what you… -
M4 Commando
Polycount! how i have missed yall! it has been to long life has had me busy for sure, but i was finally able to crack into max and do some work :) I decided to do a M4....but while researching "m4" I found out that the M4 really doesnt call out a specific gun, more like a platform and then everyone else makes thier own… -
Re: high res sculpting - why bother?
Simply because more often than not scans from real humans arent that impressive as sculpts with little bit of exaggeration. In the matter of fact, you would have to edit most of scans so heavily that it doesn't really make sense to use the scan at all. Also, you have to have good understanding of human anatomy if you want… -
Re: Modular texture placement
I just took a look. Still doesnt really clear things up for me in terms of blocking out the level with the use of modular textures. Im in need of a breakdown that shows that aspect. Like Philip's example here. http://www.philipk.net/portfolio/textures/pk02_scene.jpg. He just didnt deomstrate his placing of these texture… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Dayle Hodgson-Hard Surface/Environment Artist
I have to agree with DireWolf, what suprised me when I started doing environment stuff at work was that you dont actually do a great deal of asset work. There is obviously times where assets are needed and you will do them, but you will most likely spend the majority of your time building environments and lighting them.… -
Re: Question on High poly to low poly work flow.
Depends on your workflow. In my case since I use Maya, I use quad draw. Some people use topogun, others use 3DCoat, etc etc. I'm sure other 3d packages have their own retopology tool. You could also retopo inside ZBrush. The method you mention "remove the edges that arent needed" That could also work- but that seems a lot… -
Re: Lighting & Rendering tips please :)
If you're rendering in mental ray, I've found that I've always had to give my walls some actual thickness, and make sure they overlap each other, not just snap together, if that makes any sense. Otherwise I always get some stray photons finding their way in. Also, are you using portal lights at all? If you arent they would…
