Re: Riggin cloth banners/drapes - Maya
There is an answer for this in Maya, but you need a copy of Maya unlimited 7 and you can use the hair o drive a spline, to drive the bones in a skeleton and then "bake out the smulation". The details are in 3D World Magazine Issue 75 (the one with the naked blonde onthe cover. This works for engines that can hand;e only… -
Re: PolyBoost 4.0
Wow, I've been using polyboost since version 2, when I think it was only about $75. The speed and stability of this latest version is incredible. Autodesk should really take a good hard look at what this guy has done, these really are tools by an artist FOR artists. Maybe throw some big money at him and get these tools… -
Re: And we are done gentlemen :-)... New text-to-3D AI...
I think readability is an important thing that is lost when graphics keep getting higher fidelity. There is only so many pixels on the screen, its not same as real life. Has to be some empty space. I'm probably in a minority but for example I found it stressful on eyes to play some of the modern big AAA shooters lately.… -
Re: Technical Artist vs 3D Artist?
Kept these tech art writeups handy ever since I'd stumbled upon them a while ago, over at TechArtists.org discourse, imo well worth a read: http://ericchadwick.com/img/techart_guidelines.html https:/jobs.ea.com/search/view.do?id=a0z50000000dg4aAAA (dead link, I'll search through some drives for that specific article) ...in… -
Re: Substance Designer 5 announcement and pre-order!
I remember SD4 being a free upgrade for those who bought SD3. I bought SD3 on some UDK sale with 75% discount and I got a free upgrade a year or so after that so I can't complain. With 100 000 dollar limit for indie version I think Allegorithmic is pretty generous with pricing. I think I'll downgrade to Indie version and… -
Re: Derby Uni or Teesside Uni
Give Dundee a try, their games courses are probably the best in the UK. They're the only ones that are skillset approved, for a start. But as others have said, I've been 75% through the course at Tees and I regret it. I wish I had done a traditional art degree and learned the 3D stuff in my spare time (because anything of… -
Re: Biggest Surprises of Steam Holiday Sales
So for me the tally was: Awesomenauts (Gift) Dota 2 (Gift) (Thanks 4evra) Specs Ops: The Line (very very good game) Tomb Raider Collection Legacy of Kain Collection Star Wars: KOTOR Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Complete Pack Skyrim - Dawnguard Not bad but not great. Would have loved to have seen Dark Souls and… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 1.10 Official support thread
It seems pretty random though. I just shut the program down and relaunched it and now it is only fading the normal map (none of the files have been changed at all). This also happened yesterday. So this fading only happens about half to 75 % of the times I open the program. Once in a few times, the fading only occurs on… -
Re: HAIR!?
you can UVW map in max, send it to zbrush, subdivide it up to like 7-8 times or whatever (make sure you do the morph target trick to hold it's boundaries properly for the first 2-3 subdivisions). fill it with black colour, then just paint onto it using standard brush at like 20 z-level and 75 rgb-level. export the mesh and… -
Re: Urban Scene (hopefully will be unreal ready)
Lookin pretty good so far man, not much to critique. It's basically dead on with the picture, only thing I noticed(If you're going for it to look exactly like the image) is that the scale of the electrical post is a little off. There's appears to be slightly taller and has some sort of apparatus on top of it. Maybe you…
