Re: Is there a Maya solution for baking alpha planes to texture
So I took a pass at it and haven't really figured it out, but I wanted to share a few discoveries anyway. I'm attempting this in Arnold since that is built into Maya these days. First thing you need to do is set the attributes of the meshes you want to use opacity, under the arnold section, uncheck opaque. If opaque is… -
Technical Artist: What are good work samples to send to a recruiter?
A recruiter for a company I am extremely excited about asked for more work samples at the end of a phone interview. I was ready for an art test, but am not sure what good work samples for a technical artist should include. On google and forum searches, most of what I get for 'work samples' is just 'portfolio.' I asked for… -
Re: [WIP] Lisbon Street - Unreal Engine 5
Hi @Eric Chadwick Thank you for your feedback. Yes the interior projection has a slight offset as my spacing of each room doesn't quite come to an even square so i had to offset it slightly to a more rectangular shape and maybe that is causing some slight distortion in the parallax effect based on the viewing angle. In… -
Re: Please let me know what you think of my WIP
I've simplified the concept because I don't understand the code at a super low level. It's still the same object during the whole process. Polygon models have indices of verts, edges, faces and so on, each component has an ID number and a value (and secondary values, like vertex color or skin weights). The history nodes… -
(3DS Max) Skin mirror mode weighs vertices to wrong bone

Anyway, I'm trying to create a set of first person arms and not having too much rigging experience I've ran into a… -

Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
the workflow of making a "manual" lightmap-uv is fine. the "all code" solution prof means, basically unwraps geometry for you and tries to create huge uv charts for the lightmap. As we all know manual unwrapping cant be beaten, this is better if you have more organic/generic models. The automatic lightmappers mostly came… -
Re: flash/ maxscript / 3d: race game project
I know about the flickering,- its obvious. I think I will divide the Tree-planes for the closer LOD levels so they don't flicker and intersect that obvious when viewing close. When viewing objects from further away its not that visible that things either flicker or intersect not so nice. Today I wrote some more… -
Re: What about that privacy thing
[ QUOTE ] yup, some of the more suspicious app ive caught in action was open office, which is reputably free open source. its a text editor for god sake.. the thing is, none of us ever really read the license agreement, innit? [/ QUOTE ] Of course you are right, simply beeing open-source doesn't prevent such things… -
Re: The new expressway into the industry
I actually don't think that 'technical artist' and 'FX artist' are the same role at all Scott. Although there is some crossover of course. To me a technical artist is an artist with a programming language behind him. The link between Art and Code. The pipeline guy really. An FX artist is well, the guy that creates FX…
