Re: Is my low poly model of gun good so far?
I agree on this one. There´s nothing wrong about triangles in lowpoly models. Triangles are usually difficult to work with on highpoly models (where meshsmooth modifier will be later applied) or models that are meant to be later used in sculpting programs such as Zbrush (some stretching and unnecessary artifacts might… -
Re: A good alternative to Topogun?
Here's another vote for 3D Coat! It's pretty fast and easy to use, and it's extremely easy to customize the UI. I have my vert, edge, face and clear selection keys hot keyed, along with extrude edge hot keyed. I also like how you can retopo in layers, so if you're working on say the legs of a character and need to hide the… -
Re: RLE compression on targa textures
Yes. Although you should try using PSDs as your source format (if using Photoshop) because it saves all the layers. TGA does not, it's only a flattened single image. The downside of PSD is if you create several textures inside one PSD... diffuse, specular, etc. This is fairly common, and a nice way to work. Problem is,… -
Re: [UDK] Autumn scene
If you use a terrain actor, you can create foliage layers parented to your grass terrain layer. If you're using a staticmesh actor, you have two solutions I consider best: - Foliage factory volumes (but BPS placement is a hassle) - Static mesh mode (that's what I used to place all the grass in my latest scene). If you… -
Re: Just Not Happening
Do you follow the tutorials? Might seam like a stupid questions, but I don't follow all the tutorials I watch because I can learn from them and apply it later. But if you are just starting out you really need to follow the tutorial to learn something, and like everything else you need to practice and work to get better.… -
Re: [WIP] M-O from Wall-E
I believe MAX was first out on the scene for game artists. Maya came later. I see a lot of the senior aged artists at my studio and other use Max extensively to model. I was brought up on Maya, which corroborates to me it came out slightly later. I also think Maya inherently doesn't have the modeling tool quality that Max… -
Re: Vert Spiking Exporting From Zbrush?
What did you export it with? GOZ or standard OBJ/MA file? Does it have the same issue in another soft. or only Maya? Also, which version of Maya, and did you update to the latest patch? Also, are you sure the ZB scene is clean? Maybe a few vertices ran off and aren't connect to anything, so during export ZB is messing up?… -
Re: 2d RPG games environement , how its made ?
Most 2d games like Metroid/Chrono Trigger etc on the Snes and those older consoles tended to use tilesets afaik. Basically just modular sections that get placed down and they are either set to 'collidable' or not. Then the characters are animated sprites on a different layer. You also have the background as it's own… -
Re: Uni project; Dino WIP
If you enjoy painting in 3D space (like me) I recommend trying 3D coat. You can paint onto your game mesh with full layers and you can export the layers as a PSD which works nice with photoshop. I like it because it allows you to run DX mode and preview normal and specular maps as you paint. Also! It has some neat retop… -
Re: [Paid] Spiral - Recruitment Thread (Work with Dinosaurs!)
Considering that this is technically a big project by a studio that has released a game or two already, wouldn't it make sense for a half now and half later approach in this instance? I feel like since this studio does have a bit of problems in terms of their previous game development that a half now and half later…
