Re: An honest question as a new person
@Brian "Panda" Choi If substance is just better overall compared to 3DCoat, then I will absolutely give it a shot. Thanks for the advice. @Kevin Albers I had a hunch that most companies knew this was happening. In my opinion though, Maya LT lacks some important features. I can't remember off the top of my head which ones,… -
Re: THRONE ROOM Eternal Struggle
Reply by FTEntertainmentRiley · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Allegorithmic's 'the THRONE ROOM'So I finally finished the Sword for the Throne. Took some time to get the textures where I wanted, and still running into an issue with Lighting on the blade, but overall it's pretty much done. In the picture is a Low poly render where you can see the various vertices and Edges which make up the object, and on the left is… -
Re: How to get a vertex position after the vert has been displaced?
Thanks for your posts guys. Sorry for the late response. @RC-1290 I saw that page before and tried to work with that but it gave me a crapton of trouble. After you suggested it again I took a better look and I finally solved it. I had to assign all the verts to a new array, then multiply the inverse of the matrix… -
Re: Beautiful colorful seams(I'm dont like them)
Any of these: - make them separate textures that fully wrap on all four sides (extend all the way to the edges on all four sides) - make them textures that extend to the edges either top-bottom or left-right. If you have four 512x512 textures right now, organised into a 1024x1024, consider making them in a 512x2048 or… -
Re: polys=tris?
Max only, and it works indeed (not sure if a Maya version exits). The problem is, no one wants to read information in verts since that's not the standard. Yes, it is more correct performance wise, especially for animation reasons, but something that is big in number will tend to scare many peeps. So I have a model that is… -
Re: urban environment WIP
Looks like a good start. It needs a little more personality. In addition to your grunge pass, some broken panes on the windows and damage/dents to the fence to could help. The panoramic buildings in that 3rd pic are too low res and lit weird. You may get better results modeling some simple buildings and putting them in… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - TeriyakiStyle - Warwick
Reply by AimBiZ · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtBake the normals in object space then extract whichever channel that represents the vertical axis. This will give you a good base for a zenith type of lighting and also indicate which direction surfaces are faceing on the model. Here's how I'd go about the process if that's of any help.… -
Re: Maya - mirror symmetrical
Mesh > Mirror Geometry works locally, regardless of it's position in world space. If you are mirroring it -Z, it will use the most-negative point of itself along Z as the mirroring point, not the location of the pivot point. If you want to mirror based on the location of your pivot point, you can use Edit > Duplicate… -
Re: Eriqua Character WIPs
I see this mistake in every rookie artist that sets out to do a character. First off, before you even try to do your own character I would recomend starting off with a tutorial and just follow every step. I know its cool to do your own stuff right now but this is probably nothing what will make headlines in your portfolio… -
Re: Leixia - Soul Calibur V
Hey, just my two cents here. Her zygomatic look too bloated at the lower outside of the eye. If you flatten that down a bit, the silhouette of her head and that cheek bone to eye area would look better. Consequentially, you might want to bump up her supraorbital, thats the area around the ends of the eyebrows. There should…
