No, Core is available at the moment to those you have bought into the 'hardcore' membership and Newtek are taking there input and suggestions. Basically there re-writing lightwave with a node-based architecture, python scripting, QT interface and its based on Collada as its default file format. The UI at the top is done by…
Here's an example from my own work. This is the exact same game level, just tweaking the camera angle and materials and color grading to get different "looks". It's actually a ton of fun doing this, because all the content is made already. It's just putting a fun spin on it all to come up with something nice to look at.…
Im using Linux since SuSe Linux 6.0 soooo i seen a LOT, about the OpenGL performance i am not just talking about Valves engine even though at the current state is works a lot faster under Linux, ohh and btw Valve wrote a very nifty wrapper to translate a lot of there DX code to OpenGL so its kinda impressive that its not…
I have indeed given the selection sets mode some thought in the past. The main issue with this is that the architecture of the treeview of the Outliner is not designed to handle multiple instances of the same node. This is something that will certainly be necessary when showing selection sets of course. Now that I am…
you could get a game that comes with an editor like Crysis, gears of war2/unreal tournament 3, COD4, or download valve's hammer. Then you can make a FPS level that you can actually play!
Damn, that was a great read. I would have never guessed it was that complicated to implement a FOV slider. I guess it's one of those things that some people don't appreciate enough because they have come to expect it. On a related note, I wish people would stop bashing the CoD engine. It is an incredibly difficult task to…
Hello everyone, I'm trying to learn MEL scripting coming from a background of Unity C#. Currently I'm working on a script that moves all selected vertices to 0 on the x-axis. I borrowed this script from another forum but it doesn't seem to work when the object has moved: string $verts[] = `ls -sl -fl`; Now, I'm trying to…
Thanks Shrike! To answer your questions: 1) I prefer using UDK over everything, so that entails using Cascade (the particle editor) and the material editor extensively. I also have used CryEngine (which doesn't have a name for its particle editor), Fork Particle Studio (a standalone editor that is implemented into most…
Ah I see. Thanks very insightfull. I wasn't sure if I could delete the transformation nodes. Thanks for confirming. Coming from Max. Maya is not easy to learn, very technical. But thanks again for the insightfull post!
the biggest issue I've come across is remembering to press the freaking T button to go into edit mode.. there's a lot of little crap like that. once you get used to it it's fine but it can really throw new users through a loop!
