Re: photogrammetry rights?
I think it really depends on the object and more importantly where your hosting it. Usually most sites that distribute models either for free or paid, have an assortment of licenses you can use when you upload your model. They also do specify that you have the rights to what you've created and they are simply the host.… -
Re: Startup Game Studio suggestions/intel
I started a graphic design company with a business partner a few years back. We folded after being in business for a few years, but I learned a lot from the experience. Here are a few pointers. 1. Don't get an office unless you REALLY need it. In this modern age of distributed computing and easy teleconferencing, an office… -
Re: Gamasutra, Salary Survey Results
@skullsplitter That might play a factor in some cases, but I think it comes down to other factors. For instance, various studies reveal that men in the workforce take fewer days off. The reason is simple: Men have fewer reasons to take days off. Typically, women take more time off to deal with issues like children, elderly… -
Re: current gen standards
IT's not so much engine specific. Its all about context. As Eric is fond of saying "go talk to your graphics programer" heh. In UDK you can create a 3D cartoony side scroller or a free roaming FPS. Even deeper than that and its more important to concentrate on the priority of the object and its relationship to the… -
Re: bow rig help 3ds max
I would start with a fresh set of bones, it looks like the string limbIK bones are scaling in a weird direction and the solver is sliding off the end of the chain and it isn't fully extend, that is weird... Did you scale the bones? Because that will cause problems. Remake the string limbIK bones. Select the Bones create… -
Re: xsi
30 days should be enough time to at least get a feel for it. It's a real shame they no longer offer the PLE. I'm gonna say something controversial here, but I know it's a view shared by some on here. What about downloading a pirate copy? I don't agree with piracy, and don't think it's right that anyone who makes money from… -
Re: I need advice on simple low to high poly workflow for curved quad geometry
The support loops are there to improve the quality of the bake - they force projection angle to be perpendicular to the surface over the most of surface area (if I understood this explanation from EQ correctly): Believe me, I would love not to use any support loops like those - they are extremely irritating to deal with… -
Re: UDK - Low End Shaders/Material (AKA Old School Tricks)
Ace: A really big contributor to the normal mapped look is the specular portion. You'll also notice that normal mapped models with lazily created specular maps look far more flat. Often times the grey shaded model with normal map will look more impressive than the final fully mapped version. You can really control how a… -

Re: Monthly HandPaint Art Jam March 2015
@pangaea: There isn't anything particularly odd about modeling a horse, I just don't have much experience with animal anatomy so it'll force me to level up (or fail miserably, but I'm banking on the level up). I feel like you are wasting a lot of space on your UV map. Since the soup is the most important part, it should…
