Re: Zbrush camera navigation
Well, while it is true that it is totally possible to get used to it the default navigation paradigm, Zwitcher really does work very well ! I personally don't see a reason to not use it. Not sure if it can emulate Max-style navigation but it does a fantastic job at doing Maya-style which is objectively better anyways.… -
Re: Woodcutter's Block
I continuously try to improve the bark while working on the other parts. Slowly adding a few details to cement the scene and setting. Trying to make the few pieces of bark that were pulled off pop out clearly from the surrounding bark. Making cuts that hopefully depict varying levels of force and age. Some already have… -
Re: THRONE ROOM- The Forest Throne- si-man
Right, so Ive been workin on this for a couple of weeks already but havent got around to postin anythin yet!! The direction i decided to go in was a rustic, medeival style throne room carved out of a cave. I wanted to think about the people who built this place, and I thought of them as quite an earthly set of people,… -
Re: UDK - DeusEx
just had a root through this post it looks awesome but i think your lighting could be tweaked a bit. When you had said it was done it looked quality but it looks like you have over thought it. Less is more sometimes. Try bumping up the global illumination or diffuse to make the shadows a little less dark. My friend who… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #18 - AUGUST
This guide on the steam community has one for 3ds max http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=149270397#89704 Personally I just export with a .fbx from maya (tested in 2014, no plugins). What works for me: 1. Move geometry to the correct joint 2. Import another part of the model (ex. weapon) from the folder… -
Re: Ancient Temple in the Mountain (WIP)
Thanks for the advice. You're right, the scene needs some colors variations. I don't know if i'll put foliage, maybe some roots. The scene is settled in an ancient cavern, it supposed to be very cold. So there will be some snow, frozen rocks, something cold... I'll finish the statue's high poly and then work on some… -
Re: Where games are these days?
Yeah these days a lot of people are working backwards. In my case I started off as a 2D guy but then made the transition over to ZBrush and picked that up. I only had experience making abstract 3D wallpapers in Max but I started learning how to poly model in Maya to help with my sculpting basemeshes. Now I'm going back to… -
Re: Exporting a character picking up and holding an object from maya to unreal
You could just include the object bone into the character bone hierarchy and animate the pickup. The object should be parented to the root bone of the character. This is the simplest way if you only want to render it later in Unreal. About the dust, its the best to use a particle built inside Unreal. There isn't really… -
Re: If you could change 3dsmax...
Those are some good ideas guys. Quad Chamfer, I forgot about that but it would be incredibly helpful. Marking menu's would be cool too, I really miss that from Maya. No you can't, its a deep rooted problem that is hard coded into the oldest bits of max. You will never have more than 4 views and they won't tear off unless… -
Re: ArenaNet Environment Art Test - Yes, another one!
@ Mr_Paris: You are extremely correct, and that is a great idea. @ BlvdNights: Thanks for the comments. Picture perplexes me. I'm not sure if you mean the dirt texture or the texture that's making things dirty. Either way I'm messing with the shaders and pushing the dark and lights in the grass and dirt for the base. I got…
