Re: UVs distortion on mirrored geometry when SI to Max exporting
Vice versa ;) I need only smoothing groups (which are max only thing - you're right) because our engine supports only smoothing groups but not user defined/custom normals - as you show in your example (( FBX converts hard edges to smoothing groups rather correctly (sometimes it gets stuck on "mixed"/complex smoothing… -
Re: Hand Painted WIP
I agree with Pigart. You could definitely exaggerate the thickness of the details on the front to match the thickness of the cover itself. Another thing I would consider, are the pages. You could look into creating edge loops around the pages and extrude some out to begin defining pages as the concept does. Similar to… -
Re: Which PC suits me?
I am just about to build a rig as well, with similar specs - although I am having issues with the Sandybridge. Is there a huge benefit to getting a processor with inbuilt graphics? I think I am leaning more toward the i7-960 with 12GB of RAM. Definately go with an SSD drive though, and have all your read/write… -
Re: Sketchbook: Frell - learning2paint
Frell, man, good to see you approaching these problems so methodically/intelligently. You'll keep getting better fast. The frogs values are all messed up because there are lights and shadows all over the place -- no consistent sense of big masses. this is full of great tips Do you see how defining big shadow forms has more… -
Re: [CE3] Fallout Tribute
The pavement is done with tileable textures blended together, one damaged another not so damaged. This is blended together using a mask to define high and low points. This creates the main parts of the road, I then cut the object up down some of the damage lines in the diffuse and wrap the edges with a decal. Here is a… -
Re: 3D Hand Held Character WIP, for uni
Alex is telling you to use lower subdivs because the base forms of your model are poorly defined and you're trying to add small details on top of that poor base and it just looks like blobby noise D: Try building up the basic shapes before u even add a pore or wrinkle, spend a lot of time on just the structure of the head… -
Re: Localized lighting conditions in games
Yeah, that's basically what the script we made does. You define a trigger, and upon entering it, a transition between different lighting conditions occurs. For now it specifically controls a set of parameters in chosen lights and the global lighting parameters, but it can be expanded. Thing is, I'm not entirely sure this… -
Re: Polycount Study Group B
Looking good MrOneTwo. Just going to echo what they said about defining the materials more. Here are some shots of my forest environment I could really use some pointers on how to improve the lighting/atmosphere and just general criticism on anything else. The biggest issue I'm having is getting the trees to look like… -
Re: Sketchbook: Dan Sonley
so i finished my environment and i worked out what that weird shadow thing on my last shot was. so here it is... with no funky shadows across the screen. im pretty happy with it. its meant to be in the style of half life but i found that half life doesn't really have a very unique and defining style like some other games… -
Re: Knight Portrait - I'm not sure if I'm finished?
Depends on what you want to achieve. As a stylized piece it's looking really pleasant, but there are some smaller "mistakes" Forms/perspective/anatomy look a bit wonky, materials could be defined more. (Hair, metal, skin, feathers are shaded pretty much the same. ) The reflections/highlights in the eyes don't seem to react…
