Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
hey, I'm just giving some random examples, someone was wondering on why no wires/no texture sheets/no tri count etc for WoT. My point was that the secrecy on WoT breakdowns is justified since they have the best looking tanks out there, and two, they were in such troubles with clones of their game, were some tanks were… -
Re: [Maya] Conform Poly Vertex To A CV Curve With Mel
I'm not sure what you mean by "number of lines", can you clarify? I noticed a script called "djRivet.mel" that has some similar features that you want to do. Might want to check that out for examples. This script: string $verts[] = `ls -sl`; print $verts; Returns: "pCube1.vtx[0:7]". Adding -fl to the ls command will… -

Re: KT-s747 (ZBrush Pistol)
i think the more important thing isn't so much "softer" edges but "wider" edges. if you look at the 3 point models for brink you'll see that while the edges are very thick and beefy you'll also see that the shapes still read as being tough, mechanical objects. it's a really common misconception that softer edges must =… -
Re: I need a few answers from a pro concept artist
a pretty interesting topic. i find _Shimmer's post interesting because while he reasons that anthropomorphizing a monster isn't necessary to it being threatening(i agree), both of his examples show that it's difficult to immediately think of a monster that isn't anthropomorphic because film has been littered with them,… -
Re: My First 3D project. Your Thoughts? thanks in advance
Not too bad! The one issue that sticks out to me is scale. For example, in your reference the top of the door lines up with the top of the cabinet. Residential doors are around 203 cm tall (in the US). Your average person is about 160 cm tall. This means the cabinet in the reference is reachable by a person of average… -
Re: TurboSmooth Pro released
I've created an example image illustrating the issue with crease geo, I don't like the look the creased geometry gives, it looks janky like you have taken a low poly cube and smoothed the normals then moved some verts around. Technically I could up the sub d level of my creased cube 10plus times to create the example you… -
Re: Best video games current
Huh, great narratives and gameplay over graphics? The rose-tinted fog seems particularly strong here. Take Psygnosis as an example - Shadow Of The Beast, Killing Game Show and in particular Awesome want a word with you. Or most (all?) of the Bitmap Brothers titles, perhaps excluding The Chaos Engine and Speedball 2. Take… -
Re: Stuck on a very basic modeling problem - resolving complex poles
@Alex_J thank you very much for your explanation. Your answer helped me identify the issue with the phong shading happening with Cinema 4D yesterday. I'm beginning to see the importance of using real-world examples to practice on. @frankpolygon thank you for the welcome to the forums! My apologies for having posted in the… -
Re: portfolio: s kritskiy
Regarding the navigation: What you have now is fairly functional but incredibly boring. For example, the text "Misc" doesn't interest me at all, yet it contains awesome art. Why not go with a layout that uses labeled images for categories, so I will already have an idea of what "misc" contains? I've also heard that the…
