Re: crud
Great hi-poly characters! Always interesting form play in your models. I'm digging the back of that soldier guy, but the front looks like a pretty standard sci-fi getup (well, besides that bizarre helmet ;P). A little late in development to do anything about it...just be sure to get a good shot of his back in that 4-5… -
Re: Model Viewer (Programming Pimp)
Mostly ported over to XNA now. although a few bugs still exist like multiple lighting not working just right yet. While trying to get glow textures to work I was able to create "next gen" bloom effects As of right now directx model files have been canned due to the lack of xna's helpfulness for dynamically loading models.… -
Re: dxt1 compression alternatives?
Yeah it's weird, it not subtle changes that are causing the banding it's actually the value of the pixel relative to the 255 range, the brighter the pixel is the better the compression works. Looks nifty for colour maps, chokes on dark lightmaps, bright light maps look nifty as well. For those interested in the format>… -
Re: What has the games industry been like for you?
Seeing the amazing stories, I'm gonna post my boring one. I didn't start in games at all...not even close. I went to UCSD first and have a BS in Biochemistry...and I don't mean BullShit:), parents both biochemists, and probably pretty damn good ones as they've been doing it their whole career and created quite a mass of… -
Re: Best approach to create this flooring
I would model it square with something like floor gen. merge all the tiles into 1 object and center the pivot. draw a spline along 1 of the courses of tiles to get the curve of the paving. make sure that you keep the start and end vert as corners and the middle vert as smooth.. that or a very even bezier. path deform the… -
Re: Toxic Swat Midget
Update. First image is in Marmoset, second image is in zbrush. Currently I'm getting the low-poly all baked down. Currently I have the gloves, pants, boots and body armor baked, everything else is just the low-poly without normal maps. Ignore the textures, they're nothing but base color and ugly ambient occ. This character… -
Re: [WIP] Douglas DC-5
I would also say you need to run a few more edgeloops along the fuselage to give those holes somewhere to run off to. I think you need to take stock of what you want your polycount to be. if you look at the amount of segments on Xoulil's fuselage, and compare it to yours, you notice what I'm talking about. At the level of… -
Re: 2028 Russia (level design, models etc)
The reloading animation is truly inspired. I love how the magazines are held in-between fingers etc. Detail like this is rarely seen in AAA titles and is often something that will make me buy a game. (makes it slightly ironic that I will buy GT5 then...) Sorry if it's been asked before but what engine are you using and… -
Re: Batman Family/ Likeness Study
With the summer semester almost done I'm finally getting some time to continue working on this. I've made some pretty big changes since the last time I posted here, I'm no longer going to use Toolbag 2 to render. Instead I'm going with Arnold for Maya with X-Gen for the hair, and the models are going to be production… -
Re: Portfolio Critique and Advice !!! :)
I think you are just a hop skip and jump away from nailing it! As others have said, dive into the anatomy. The suggestion to do life drawing is very important, but also find anatomy tutorials and pick an artist who's work you admire from among those artists. The comments about your presentation are also spot on. I find its…
