Re: Tri vs quad modeling questions
Hehe the good old one :P There is many different situations, asking for different approaches. - basemesh to be subdivided and sculpted in Z or mud, not to be animated : preferably quad only. Some apps even crash when subdividing tris, ngons or star shaped topoogy. but some app do fine. - Ingame mesh that actually appear on… -
Re: L O S T
I dunno, I was kinda dissapointed with this episode. I feel the casting for Jacob is very underwhelming (they should have got Christopher Walken! :D ) and I until I understand what his end game is, I don't know why he was picking those people in particular, so meh. Nice gun fights though. I knew Juliet would die… -
Re: Untitled Project - Andrew Hamilton
This looks really cool. Let me guess as to your motivation painting the lighting into a unique diffuse - stencil shadows are way too ugly and expensive, and in order to shadow a scene nicely a precomputed or painted lightmap is needed. However d3/etqw has no lightmap or multiple texcoord support, so that lightmap has to… -
Re: Where do you find Jobs?
Seriously being a whore sometimes :p But nah in all seriousness , Ive never had luck in the past with the whole process of emailing a company going through HR and dealing with there nonsense, all my jobs came from either knowing people at the company /directly being in email conversations with them. Or literally knocking… -
Re: Lectures at the AI of Washington DC
[ QUOTE ] Hey there Humble, it was my pleasure for sure. I'm sorry I rambled on so much and didn't get into the actual meat of the texturing, but I always feel like I have so much general theory to share. [/ QUOTE ] No worries. You actually covered the part I was most interesting in getting tips on. I have a fine arts… -
Re: [WIP] Drop Ship
lol I know exactly what you mean here ^^^ what a pain in the butt to do pipes like those with the spline tool... but from my experience its the best we can do with max atm. One thing that has been driving me nuts for sometime though is if you can use autogrid to create pipes in all three dimensions (could've sworn I did… -
Re: Tiling Part of a texture?
Eric nails it. This is pretty much what I do, but if the four quadrants are radically different colors and brightness, and the quadrant will be covering a large/obvious area of the model, I'd recommend even a bit more padding. Another option for this is to use 3 quadrants, and leave the other one blank. Tile your texture… -
Re: stupid hotkeys... (3ds max)
RANT Sometimes I wonder the people who make these default hot key setups aren't human. Why not make r rotate (versus scale) and then why would you make the next key (t) top view? You could use P for plan view (same thing). I cant say how many times I have gotten frustrated when Im trying to be quick and keep hitting the t… -
Re: Like totally! Like doing hair.
Naaaah, FFX stands for Final Fantasy X You know, that game with ladies as main characters and males looking like ladies. Also, I don't think you should bother with hair detailling in Zbrush. It can be helpful for things like afro hair wich has a solid quality, or 'gelsculpted' hairstyles, but other than that if you are… -
Re: Ambient Occlusion help
Thanks everyone for all of the replies, AOs are now part of my pipeline. Lots of things now make sense. I'd been wondering how to get shadows in those spots that normally wouldn't be lit. I was doing it by hand for years. -The areas under the armpits, between thighs, ears for heavens sakes... Spots under gun clips, nooks…
