Re: Envelope question
I don't think envelope in Maya and cage i xNormal is really the same thing. The envelope in Maya only affects the distance of the search rays and not the direction. That is controlled by either setting the Search Method to "Surface" or "Geometry". Anyways, here's how I would go about splitting the geometry in that way.… -
Re: Normalmaped monster pimp.
nice monster, though I think the proportions are kinda off. I think the monster is "unbelievble". The animation is good, though there is A LOT to do to make it better. Some asymetrical movement and more excessive weight on the moves. Anyway, the render is too dark. Remember, Dark charcters on light grey ground, lighter… -
Re: ::Glest 3.1.0::
The latest versions have darker shadows Some beta updates: Glest 3.2, which will include scripting as a major feature. You can download the patch from here (is only a patch, you need to have Glest 3.1 installed) A new tileset, that you can download from here some screenshots of this tileset: I hope you enjoy it, feedback… -
Re: rounded edge on large building
It's both those things. The mentions of sightlines and occlusion are the closest to good reasons I have heard but I'd be inclined to argue they're a little tenuous. The reason I encounter most often in the office is that somebody has a script intended for hacky mid poly baking which does this in one click and they spam it… -
Re: [Modo] Tool specific hotkeys?
I'm not sure you can do that straight up to work per-tool. What you can do is write a script that'll fire a command based on the currently active tool (I've got various modal tools set up this way - for example, W is bound to weld unless I'm in item mode, then it'll activate the move tool). -
Re: [WIP] Sci-Fi Cave Environment
Finally back on this now that the pipe script is stable. Got the bakes done for the pumps at the top. Moving on to the rest of the machine now. I am going to rig up the pumps to move in and out and probably have some other nifty color thingamajig as well. The top pump is 2704 tris The bottom is 1978 tris Damn cylindrical… -
Re: Making a fighting game in udk?
Yeah NetherRealm's version of Unreal is so heavily modified, it's almost not even the same engine anymore (specifically on the script side). What was awesome was the modifications they did to Matinee (which they called Cinema). But I can tell you from experience that making a polished, playable fighting game is probably… -
Re: Does .obj support vertex colours?
maybe write a wrapper that reads out the vertex color and ads it to the ASE or OBJ ASCI with a custom set of data? edit: Couldn't find it in the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file so when you export from max or maya it doesn't export vertex colours but like I said maybe a script could add that to… -
Re: Ramblings in Valve Time - Michael Abrash's Valve Blog
Yeah but you were also just walking around by yourself. I wonder if they could maintain that visual fidelity with enemies and combat and scripting going on. Having said that, Valve has a lot of great programmers on staff so I don't doubt a new engine/tools is in development. They hired a lot of heavy duty graphics guys… -
Re: The correct method to combine/mix/overlay normal maps?
Doing it in Photoshop is generally a bad idea - it doesn't handle vector maths particularly well. I've written a Unity script to combine normal maps using Reoriented Normal Map method as outlined here; https://gist.github.com/Farfarer/4761486 I've also put it into a really simple standalone exe, which I could upload if you…
