Re: Sword WIP - High Poly - Feedback Requested
If your new to modelling I would recommend trying to recreate objects and avoid going down the path of designing something. In my opinion you should aim to improve your core modelling ability before attempting to go into design. Designing something is an art which takes a lot longer to learn than basic modelling… -
Re: Anyone still using 3dsmax 2009?
Those posts are pretty obsolete and almost were back then right from the start... I brought the earthquake zbrush model into MAx 2009 and Max 2016 on the same machine ( GTX780/6 GB, i7-4930K 6 -core/32GB Ram ) . This lead to an 945MB file, about 6.5 mio polys, split into 8 seperate objects. Pure viewport performance in Max… -
Re: UTMC - Space Station
Hey MMKH. I would say that right now I think everything is too-samey. I think your lighter version is better for visual clarity and this is getting into UT3 territory of noisy textures when everything is the same dark-blue or purple. Try to mix it up a little more on your colors. Material wise everything seems to be oddly… -
Re: Valve could charge @ssholes more for games, give benefits to "good" players
I think this is a great idea. I'm sure they'll work out the details, and iron out the kinks. League of Legends bans players, and they just end up making new accounts, and raging on new players. thus new players then start raging on other players etc. etc. etc. the cycle continues, and grows. I'm sure they'll figure out a… -
Re: 2012 thoughts?
I saw it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was ridiculously bad. I'm getting so sick of seeing Roland Emmerich being given gajillions of dollars to make the same tired, cliche-ridden 'event' movie over and over again. What's most depressing is that apparently Emmerich takes 25% of the box office gross, so he'll… -
Re: xNormal Problems
You need to setup a cage to limit the rays. To enable the option it's not enough. To setup a cage you have 3 options: 1. If you use 3dsmax, place a Projection modifier over your Edit Mesh(does not work with Edit polys) lowpoly. Extrude the cage until it covers completely the highpoly model and move some vertices if it's… -
Re: World machine, advanced coloring macro
Ok, so I have decided to release an alpha version of 2.0, it lacks a lot of outputs and controls but can be used to create some interesting landscapes still. To make it work you have to do the following. 1. Download the macro and also the overlays.zip file. 2. Extract the overlays.zip file to c:/ or wherever you want. 3.… -
Re: Would some games be better with less violence?
I don't know about Fallout 3, but in both GTA and Mirror's Edge, the violence made sense in terms of the plot and the only reason it didn't flow well was because of the execution. In mirrors edge it was really easy to screw up your attacks, with a controller or a mouse, and it made the combat not fun. 9 times out of 10 i… -
Re: Planetary resources in announces ASTEROID MINING venture.
It says they're going to mine platinum group metals. Platinum is around $50,000 per kilo. Launch of a falcon 9 rocket (which would be the likely platform) is around $27 million per flight for 9500 kilos. 9,500x$50,000 = $475 million if you can recover one payload' worth of platinum, and it will be even bigger earnings if… -
Re: Advanced tips for beginner 3d artist
Hi! I'm a beginner too, but i have something to say. First of all you need to look at low poly. This will make you understand what can it be 1) only 700 tris, and it's divine http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o8H5QynvL2o/USlvJTh8QdI/AAAAAAAABKg/oqkB9WQIKpk/s1600/Cherry_Darling_final.jpg 2) Insane 2000 tris!!!…
