Re: Open World Level Design (think GTA)
What's this thing about an atlas and not looking good?, have a set of textures that could be used to construct a part of a city (an atlas), build every building by using those premade textures, use smart tricks like vertex painting to create variations, if a big chunk of the world uses the same big texture (atlas), then it… -
Re: 3ds Max user learning Blender
Thanks a lot man, you're a life saver. I do have a couple questions though, mostly having to do with figuring out how replicate edit poly commands from max. First, is there a way to extrude along normals like you can in max? I have a ring of faces selected and I want to extrude them out. I can do it by group, or by… -
Re: High Poly M1A2 Tank
thanks for the ref shot, i will work on more detail on the wheels and post some updates of them, what i see is i can add some more bolt details for the hubcap axial things and make the wheel wells deeper also ad to the back wheel gear some indent bolts hole rivet things around the circumference. -
Re: 3DS Max clipping error and zoom speed
The trouble is its off the axis, and its kind of an awkward area that I doubt would be easy to model in the ortho views even if it wasnt. I've sorted the clipping plane. I thought I was modelling in a proper scale. Is there some kind of limit, that objects should be x bigger than the grid? Thanks for the help, doods!. -
Re: Limb Deformations
thanks for the useful gif poop. CheapAlert, actually most of the knees and elbows in Half Life were built like the middle one in poop's gif. Except the middle vertices(which are nearest to the axis of rotation of the limb) were welded together making the joint look like an X. And of course the sections were 4 or so… -
Re: Castaway Entertainment Suspends Operation Dec.15th
Damn Scott, sorry to hear about this. Like DaZ said, Z-Axis is a good studio. There are about 4 ex-5000ft programmers working there right now (on Iron Max and Xmen, I believe). I defineatly wish ya the best of luck, and look forward to seeing your forthcoming work -
Re: Tank Girl WIP
Hell yeah, always dig your sculpts man and tank girl rocks I agree about the arms, it doesn't look like you messed with them too much after posing. Also, the position of the biceps indicates a different axis for the elbow bend. -
Re: everything flipped!
This sounds like you changed your preferences from Y up axis to Z up axis. Window>>Settings/Preferences>>Preferences>>Settings -
Re: maya 2008: bake gradient into vert colour
Think I've cracked it.. I got the area light to behave that way by unchecking diffuse and checking ambient in the light, using cylinder and along axis light mode. using mental ray bake, I can get the right results.. Cheers everyone who replied! -
Re: Sketchbook: GED
anyone know how to get rid of x axis seams when using normal maps from xnormal? if I set my weld threshhold for the lowpoly too high in max I get wierd distortion/meshsmooth errors if I set my threshold down I get this which is ok but has pretty obvious seams this is still 1024x1024 looks a bit better with colour and…
