I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem in Max 8. At the moment it doesn't seem to be happening to all characters, but to a fair few of them. They were all built and rigged and animated in Max 7. If I have saved a character with Figure Mode switched on, when I (or others) load it, it is still in figure…
Assuming you're doing things yourself, I'd recommend Unity. Its much easier to rapidly iterate a useful product even if you're "doing it wrong". UDK and Unity are both highly capable, but they each are a different philosophy of "how to make a game". Which one resonates with you, and what your end goal is, will determine…
this really depends on what work the studio has to offer to a junior. IMO choose what seems more appealing to you and tailor your portfolio around that so that you get hired to do what you want to do, and if you don't get hired at least you'll have had fun. Realistically you will need both, and there are like... a small…
Hi everyone, I'm looking for an experienced 2D environment illustrator / key artist to create a high-quality fantasy key art piece. The goal is to achieve a premium, painterly illustration suitable for marketing materials. Art Direction We're looking for artwork with: * Storybook fantasy atmosphere * Painterly rendering *…
You're not hearing me, Eric. What you are describing is an Art-directors job. How many paid art-directors positions are out there? how many folks wanted to just have a comfy IT job without much management? Do the math. Corpos don't need that many visionaires, those seats are already occupied by their kids. And yeah, I got…
in maya 2009, what i do is set the bump map in the slot provided by the mia_roundcorners node and then change the bump mode. heres what the bump mode does according to the docs. bump_mode defines the coordinate space of the bump_vector, as well as that of the return value of the shader itself (which is also a vector), and…
Lamont, yep, I was thinking the same thing. Could even just be a drop-shadow or something I guess. However this sort of thing makes the shader more complex (and expensive - although I have no idea how expensive it even is at the moment by current shader standards!). I messed up something tonight though and appear to have…
How would one go about making a shader in UDK that blurs a reflection? I cant find any info on blurring a cube map in the engine unless maybe in the dx11 version. I want to do it in dx9. Would I have to manually make 4 different cube maps myself or can I use a custom shader node to write the hlsl myself? I've tried the…
Hi fellas, I just had the idea of a thread where we could organize some codes for fellow workshoppers that don't attend the event. I personally would love to get some codes from our dudes from the workshop - I guess Valve will do the same like last year. So if the time has come and the codes are ready I would suggest, that…
no idea I'm afraid - i've not touched photoshop since '21 and the last time someone asked me to write a script for it they never found the body I've not used the in-photoshop substance nodes but assuming there's support.. You 'should' be able to sample n points along a spline/curve to generate a gradient (just lerp from…
