Re: Retopo workflow in 3D Coat
It could be anything. It could be a character who has each bodypart as a different model; for example a different part for pants and a different one for shoes. Those pants will dip a bit into the shoes (or over them) but 3DC will say "These two parts will henceforth be one model" and will destructively merge them. Or a… -
Re: Grandpap - Mind Your P's and Q's
DWalker: Thanks for the feedback! I made his limbs a little longer/more exaggerated originally as I was taking inspiration from the characters in the game Dishonored, which you can see an example of here. Your point about a higher waistline is accurate too. I simply wanted to exaggerate it as well, but I did adjust the… -
Re: Mudbox Displacement Map Issues
First off, the good news is that it is definitely possible. A couple things you might want to do : - Use TIFF - In Xnormal make sure that the whole range is covered in the "post bake" displacement dialog (no red/blue clipping), and maximize your values so that your min/max are simple integers. - Back in mudbox you'll then… -
Re: Cinema 4d anyone?
Modo is at least nicely priced ... Cinema 4D looks priced to directly compete with Max, which puts it WAY out of the "I'll give this a shot" range. That's one point against it, anyway ... And the upgrades are $995 from the previous version. It's a wallet pounder. Then there's the mental aspect of it. You're starting out… -
Re: UV-plugin tools for Max
Technically everything you'll ever need is in max, at least to get the job done. It might not be the prettiest or the fast way but it is all there. I can't really recommend a way to make you feel comfortable with the tools other than, use them more often. Do you have a program or an idea that you see as ideal and would… -
Re: Would you like to do a community chest?
For like a year now I want to make a set with Fata- I have him in Skype too, but he never answers - its really sad that I cant make a set for him even tho he said yes but as long as he doesnt answer I can make one for him. Well, I hope that one day I can make the set for him with Spudnik. So what we would need for your… -
Re: Questions all about Materials/Textures.
Hi I'd like to build an electric car, something along the lines of a Tesla. With range of 600 to 1000 km, and about 200mph max speed. It's got to have a classy design and with the interior being HIGH quality leather and and finishings. I want it to be well engineer and run well. I don't want to hear I can't do this. I've… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
Ptex does bring to many problems. For me the biggest issue would be you cant share textures across objects. Everthing needs a unique texture. LODs cant share Textures one Polyobject = one Ptex Seconde one would be you arnt allowed to change the vertexorder. If the Artdirection changes and you need to change the Geo you… -
Re: Starting indie game company, how to start, how to progress and how to launch?
I think if you're going indie, I think you need to understand that what you're really doing is going into a business. For example, even before you create your first art asset, what is your equipment? Do you even have access to professional software like 3DS Max or Mudbox or are you using free or "Indie tailored" ones like… -
Re: WIP- Low Poly Spy
I don't have a concept (not very good at drawing), but I was using Inspector Gadget as an idea to go by... Mixed in with spy vs spy. The idea is an over the top spy and his face is always in shadows. Here is a wireframe shot.. I know it is very messy but I used multires on a 2000poly mesh (Which I tried so hard to keep in…
