Re: Extrude Problem
Quick video to solve this particular problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf8ByvJA77U The various techniques involves a certain degree of cleaning, even if you delete the face if you wanted to extrude, so that it doesn't create that extra polygon yo don't want, extrude only 3 edges, then close the hole. You'll have to… -
Re: Is the way game artists texture bad?
I think I've interpreted it as this: on his budget and looking at the portfolios of artists he could afford with it, models usually look better when they're GI-lit and not so much when textured due to the inexperience of those artists. And in the end a game on that budget couldn't afford good texturing, so to solve his… -
Re: Where to Start as an Artist learning Unreal Engine 4 as an Art User
Does Material Editor understanding just come with time, as people are forced to accomplish certain effects or looks? For example, I am still bothered by my approach to problem solving because it still involves just "fixing the texture" instead of figuring out a new solution through just the material editor. At best, I have… -
Re: Bullet casings in games?
Thanks everyone I was modeling my first automatic weapon and ran into the problem of not being able to reuse the previous bullet because I couldn't find a way not to use tween between the first and second shot, I solved it by creating the actual number of bullets inside the gun and that created the problem of having to… -
Re: Create a plank between two other planks
The edges have to be open. If you have an edge that has a polygon on one side and nothing on the other side then you can bridge. When you come up against problems like a tool not working, Googling e.g. "3DS Max Bridge" will give you pages and video tutorials teaching you how it works properly. It's a great skill to have… -
Re: A few character related questions
Ok so just in case anyone else comes across this, I found what was going wrong with everything I asked here - First half ^ sorted, 2nd half to that 'issue' was to simply use the Dynamask editor with curvature (mostly) as your function - Found out that the normals weren't updating because the layers in DDO (not PS layers)… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - November & December 2017 (51)
The hips are indeed giving me (and it looks like everyone else) problems, as expected! I'll probably leave them for last unless I get some bright idea on how to solve it. Like @Fizzly , I'm trying to go for a "realistic" mechanical interpretation, though I'm unsure how far that will get me. So far, I think it's turning out… -
Re: UV: Do I only have the top-right corner to place the UVs or the whole grid?
Here's an easy way to fix it. If you laid out your shells outside the 0 to 1 space, into 0 to -1, -1 to 1, etc. Here's an easy way to remedy it: Here's your shells outside the 0 to 1 Select them and move your scale pivot up to 1, 1. Like so: Then scale your shells in both U and V directions until they fit nicely into the 0… -
Re: Fixes for hard disk errors?
I had a similar problem, and it turned out that it was my memory that was bad so it was copying bad files to my hard drive. I downloaded and ran Memtest 86 and found that one of my two sticks of memory had a handful of errors on it. When I removed the bad memory everything formatted installed and ran fine. It might not be… -
Re: WoW - New Expansion Class Images - Death Knight
WoW = Drama filled lameness if you want to enjoy any kind of end game content. Atleast, that's the opinion of an on-again off-again ex-wow addict with several lvl 70s. The game is great, until you hit end game. Then you have to do the same dozen quests each day, deal with raid times/kids/drama, or start a new toon. I doubt…
