Re: Need to create a face polygon
erm why is your nav cube upside down? maybe you got lost with how to navigate in max? Also maybe increase the quality a little bit next time when you compress a image - its almost impossible to see the verts. I don't read a question and its not clear what you want. To me it looks like you have just 1 editable poly object… -
Re: Project Aftershock - Indie Multiplayer Co op Sci Fi Racing Game
Along with what vahl said, I would like to see some sparks flying when bouncing off the ground, flames or some sort of visual indicator when shifting/reaching speeds and braking. The vertical track needs some indicator of how the vehicle is being held, maybe have the lines between the hexes glow when the vehicle goes over… -
Re: Marine character
Most pouches has ha fairy hidden connection point to the MOLLE straps. They tend to look wrong/worse modelled on or with too strong bump maps really, I'd say texture them on. On a bump map, try to cut down on pushing the whole strap out, rather focus on the outdent it gets inbetween the vertical stitches. I don't know if… -
Re: Texture sizes?
Also, a building like you had mentioned isn't textured like a character or environment piece. They're usually textured out of low resolution textures that tile vertically and horizontally nicely. If I could access my site right now I'd show you what I mean with a building I worked on. You also have to think about how much… -
Re: Need Some Maya Tips
One of the best things I've run into is the contextual menu. Say you want to extrude a face... R-click on object > select Face Mode > L-ckick to select face > SHIFT+R-click for the contextual menu > Extrude face. If you're in vertex mode, it gives you options for dealing with vertices and so on. Using SHIFT + R-click will… -
Re: i haven't done many environments but here it is
[ QUOTE ] I agree, a good start! I think the bump is too strong. Try modeling in the cracks rather than using bump to make them. Bump is great, but should only be used as an accent to things. [/ QUOTE ] I absolutely agree. specially for games. much cheaper to have extra polys than texture or shader work in some cases. i do… -
Re: SkinOrDie
[ QUOTE ] e_x go tell him hes dumb for me real quick.. [/ QUOTE ] Done, and done. I like Skin Wrap, but yeah, it can be a little bitch sometimes. I don't like how it assigns some verts to really small weights because of it's envelope threshold though. Looks like the new features in max 8's Skin Modifier will fix… -
Re: Looking to make a career change.. advice anyone?
I just broke into the game industry as a project manager. Having worked in a corporate culture as a consultant for about 9 years I really wanted a chance and something to do with video games. As much as I like to make game art as a hobby I couldn't see myself pushing pixels and vertices around all day (besides the pay cut… -
Re: raul's game art
upon zelenkov's request here is the tower and the close up. I had to use a higher density cylinder to maintain the solidity of the shape. Before it looked really wonky. As far how i approach it. I just block it in. and change the number of sides of the cylinders once im sure they will work i use booleans ( union ) to join… -
Re: How efficient are alpha maps?
alphatest = masking, is still rather cheap, the blend stuff (soft) is more of a culprit, as Eric said. When you look at the insane amount of plants that are rendered today, and nearly all use tons of alphatested billboards, imposters... it's definitely not a "slow" thing. (else we would have modelled leaves ) even on PSP…
