Hey boys, I've got this little scene that I'm going to be presenting to a panel of judges in about 2 weeks from now. My idea was to create this in a low-poly style, and since I've always loved to draw, I thought I'd capitalize on my strengths by drawing all my textures 100% by hand in photoshop. Here is a general view of…
Just wanted to mention since nothing was really said about it from op but: clicking link. rat king concept search (it was a test in google search to see if they implemented it into search engines.) I'd recommend doing a lot of reviewing for concepts to get an idea what has already been "fleshed" out first than trying to…
The poll gives me possibility to look at what topics I shouldn't look at. HEngine + Cinema4d didn't get any votes, so while it seems like interesting direction, I will not even bother with checking that route. But I wanted to also see if there is any interest in standard 3d things, like modeling and rigging. And on top of…
thanks :) If you have a look at this screen http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/482/r572.jpg (laptop atm, so can't make a new one from the lp), you can see that those bolts noticably stick out in fp view. If I was really trying to get squeeze out the last 100 tri's to get to a set number it could have been baked down, but…
Depends on the complexity of the animations/rig. If those objects dont need to animate, you can optimize as aggressively as possible while aiming for the quality bar that you guys have set. Which could mean a very low poly proxy mesh that is water tight. A watertight mesh, combining everything together and getting rid of…
Thanks respawnrt, you are totally right. I have manged to play around with it and sort out most of the seams. Some of the errors were also down to a mess up in with the smoothing groups :s The bevels are a killer too, in ZBrush I made sure they were massive but once they were baked they were only like 2px wide! -Update- I…
Depending on your smart phone, if you own one, some smart phones can take 20 MP photos which are better then alot of DSLR, if you own one, you can take pictures, any place, anytime so you're basically set.
A S.T.A.L.K.E.R. inspired singleplayer map and mini-mod. Level Design and 3D Art: 3DLee Scripting, Flowgraph, and 3D Art: EmAr Introduction As you can see, Lab X2 is now a single-player mod. While a multiplayer map version is still an option for the future, I decided that a single-player experience would better display the…
You guys should give the game a chance. I am loving it. Middle of chapter 3 and the tension, the art and the presentation all blend really well. The game has this high contrast that is only enhanced by the ambiance effects. It can look really stunning. The enemy design is really something else as well, and if you shoot…
1) A and Shift + A in any mode 2) Change your grid to fixed grid in settings. I'd recommend getting used to it being dynamic. 3) Ctrl+1. You can also adjust viewport settings qucikly by pressing O. Also, Ctrl+2 lets you switch between opengl, shaded, wire only etc. Explore all the Ctrl+# options.
