Re: Deforming a plane to fit geometry
you can use a lattice to do this. In max they are called FDD modifiers. Another way is to draw a spline and then use the path deform modifier on it. This may work but cause a crap load of stretching. Select the faces were the maps is supposed to be, detach as clone to a new object. Make a copy of it by hitting shift click… -
Re: [Portfolio] MasteroftheFork / Drew Garner
Cholden: Ya you're right, I was think that as i was typing about it. rdmlegend: I don't feel uncomfortable with lighting, I know the michael Madsen one is a bit of a mess, I was trying to copy the lighting in the picture I was referencing. But in the pieces I'm planniong on keeping are there any problems?… -
Re: DAOC character pipeline (3ds Max 8!!!)
That seems like a very sweeping statement. If, for example, a student wanted to make items for Dota 2 workshop items, they'd get much better final results if they understood how to hand paint textures and construct low-poly geometry with good edge flow. Additionally, most mobile and social games still require skills that… -
Re: Breaking into game industry with 0 shipped titles
The good news is that it can be done. I moved into games in my 30s after many years of vaguely related work in other industries. I took a position with less responsibility when I made the move which made sense as i wasn't familiar with game production cycles but it didn't delay my desperate scrabble up the career ladder by… -
Re: Need Low-Poly Environment UV Mapping and Texturing Help
I am not using any existing game engine tools here, so the decal technique is not an option - unless someone here is also a guru with programming such a technique into an engine made from scratch and would be willing to explain the process to me. :D How would one approach the modular design technique for this kind of… -
Re: Call of Duty MW2
I don't think it's a question of taste or moral/ethical deficit. I think it's more about providing the player with an experience - even though the graphical representation of videogames has been in the 3rd dimension for a decade, the emotional impact of games is still undeniably 2d for 99.9% of titles, and always seems to… -
Re: Hurricane spaceship WIP
[ QUOTE ] That's awesome, spaceships don't usually give me an erection, but this one does a little bit. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, this looks very nice man, great job. I'm thinking adding a few small details here and there would be a good idea. I could suggest possibly adding some smaller decals to indicate fuel/maintenance ports.… -
Re: FF7: Advent Children... damn...
[ QUOTE ] ...when everyone is burned out on FF7. The hype just won't last that long. [/ QUOTE ] You see, FF7 is like a cult movie. People don't get burned out on it, they just play it for the rest of their lives. The hype will last for as long as they do. I mean the game is just 1 or 2 years shy of being a decade old.… -
Re: Well, Clover studios wins E3
Okok... I was trying to smooth out the discussion, because I was becoming bored of it, thus this slightly non logical way of expressing it In fact the all of the developers are probably furrys for designing such a game, and if you even remotely think about playing such a game you are a furry but maybe not admitting it. Or… -
Re: Hey Rockstar, are you a mutant?
The only statement I will defend is that after 2 decades of dealing with this virus, and all the advances we've made in medical science, there still seems to be a lot we don't know about this. I'm speaking from the point of view of public opinion. The medication I was referring to has a side effect of abnormally low white…
