Re: Why grime and wear on textures?
I think difficulty/laziness also plays a part. As does performance. It's really hard to perfectly nail a material that is in pretty much pristine condition. This is true especially ingame where you can't always work with specular power (gloss) and specular color maps. However if you coat everything with a mild layer of… -
Re: Do quads matter when detaching to element?
What is the model going to be for? if your sub dividing, this will not end well. Once welded (or before) you will have to run 4 loops(1 for each edge you have ending in the middle of a segment) down and around the cross section to create all quads. If its a low poly game model, You should have less geo than is here, and… -
Re: Degree and College Advice
A degree generally isn't what will get you into a job, and even less so if you're not aiming for a particularly technical vocation. A degree can certainly help however, and a high-level education isn't something to be sniffed at since you cna pick up a fair few skills for later life. I'd be careful where you look though;… -
Re: [UDK] Small Fantasy Environment
@Rapture117 - Thanks man! The scene is running in UDK. As far as techniques I used for making the scene, I used 3dmotive's advanced mesh paint tutorials as a jumping off point and then tailored the materials to my needs for the floors and walls. The zbrush modeling wasn't anything very complicated, for the floor tiles and… -
Re: First animated scene - Feedback needed
Hi! I dont feel that I'm good enough to give you any good feedback, but my overall thought was that the character felt stiff/mechanical. Ex: when the hands hit the table at the start, the lower arm rotates up mechanically and after that it goes forward and hits perfectly. Try to make it arc more, make it swing up above the… -
Re: A head a day
Did a rough paint over, and quick model for you, take it with a grain of salt becasue i am still learning as well. Things to note are trying to get those volumes i highlighted, the really important one i belive is the green colour 'node" area. Another important area is teh corners of the clips, really try to tuck the… -
Re: Post your workspace!
[ QUOTE ] hyrumark, how does the spacepilot work? I watched the video on their site but it said pretty much zero about how the 3d navigation works [/ QUOTE ] Yeah their website could be better at explaining things.. The heart of the thing is the large black knob that you use for navigating the viewport. It works like this:… -
Re: WIP Cowboy Character
Dabu-- Is this what you're thinking of? Did this last year for a personal project a friend and I never finished. Someday.... So Danny, it's looking pretty good. Don't forget his chin, though-- it should jut out at least as far as his lower lip. Be sure to square out his jaw more too-- right now he looks like a lanky 14… -
Re: animation show reel /introduction
Hey man, you've got some good stuff in there! As far as feedback goes I think you might want to check your weight on some of the shots. I mainly noticed it in the first two. For example, the throw is great but when the guy lands at 0:05 it feels like it should be heavier. Then on the next shot, the punches and hits feel… -
