Re: Becoming a professional 3D artist with an unrelated full time job
You seem to be in a fairly decent situation. Having a similar job and being able to work on your portfolio in your spare time is not too bad at all. Doing scripting for simulations in Unity is pretty decent experience, even though you want to move over to the art side of things. I hope you don't quit your current job… -
Re: 3DSMax UV Tools
Yep, Daz, I actually thought it was pretty funny that someone as artistically accomplished as SouL could be so lazy and misinformed when it comes to software. The only thing I'd accept as a legitimate complaint about the current Max7 UVW editor is its lack of Maya-style Relax feature, and that can be added by using the… -
Re: Making Quake 3 Models with 3D Studio Max?
I found a link where you can download the Exportmd3.dle file for 3D Studio Max. It's called "GMAX Plugins and Scripts by Chris Cookson". http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/news/comment.asp?category=Freelancer&id=3080 http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/download/download.asp?id=1676 I also found a Tutorial for making Quake 3… -
Re: Uncharted 2 - best looking environments, ever?
Actually, their tech is quite strong... The shadows are almost flawless and it seems to take some black magic to get it right in a realtime engine. And the fact that the player, the AI, and physics can all properly interact on top of moving objects like the train or collapsing buildings is quite amazing too. It's not some… -
Re: Preserving Uv's in XSI
The xsi help is funny, tells you exactly what it does but nothing about actually how to do it :D Ye, unfortunately like you said the texture projections need to be kept - I had them all frozen down. I found a script that actually copies your uv's and recreates the projection allowing you to apply it after it's been frozen.… -
Re: Max UV Welding doesn't always work?
Probably because while you've snapped the U and V values to the same place, the W values may be very far apart. For some reason this affects the weld (it probably shouldn't - maybe I'll look into a script to improve the weld). You should be able to select all and move their W values to 0 using the type-in field in the… -
Re: Quarantine Map
if he normal maps yes- but once you are done a nice smoothing group set could support the model. exactly what I meant is this (although overdone a bit) I myself have a script that quickly lets me slide the smoothing angle of selected faces or objects (context sensitive) - that way I can quickly highlight or change parts of… -
Fish Animation
Haven't posted in a while, recently I wanted to learn how to animate a group/flock of fish in Unity. I ended up using shadergraph to animate the individual fish and created a script to control the group motion at run-time. The flock simulation is called Boids, and it was originally developed by Craig Reynolds. The code I… -
