Re: art test wip (update: with reflection map ?)
my plan was to normal map the "doors" as far as the trim and where they open and stuff are compared to the body of the truck, but it might look better to just model them on. i see what you're saying about the inside. i was worried about joining the 2 windows and just painting the interior black, because i didn't know if… -
Re: new here
Melissa ... don't know if you've made plans for AFTER graduation from UNT, but you might want to consider stopping by Guildhall at SMU on Dec. 9th. ( There will be a show of games from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, showing off recent student work. There will also be some folks from the industry there. You also might want to… -
Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
I definitely will echo what others have said, the example provided looks like a first year high school students 3d portfolio. I'll chime in from the perspective of someone who is self taught, I never went to college/university, but have been working in the industry for 10+ years. It's great you are already aware that the… -
Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
Isn't it worth looking into the Zbrush pipeline if you are 'new' to things? Make a rough crate shape in 3ds max but don't worry too much about topology, just make it with pro boolean maybe... give it the appropriate 'style' you feel you need (ie, not perfect cube/square sides for the WoW style?) Then get to Zbrush, detail… -
Re: Forza Motorsport III
am I late to the party? I just got the game earlier today. Installing disc 2 at the moment. Am i going to need a gold account to play online? Edit: Just completed the first world class event? The first race around Barcelona. The game is fun. I like it a lot. So far though, I have a few nit picks and for the guys who worked… -
Re: Western Digital External Hard Drives SUCK
From personal experience, the USB hard drives that use full sized desktop HDD's fail waaaaaaay more than the ones that use the smaller laptop sized HDD's. Over the past year I have been doing multiple (and I do mean multiple...) backups of data from servers to a portable storage for usage and archival. Of the drives we… -
Re: Practicality vs Aesthetics
This is itself a somewhat sexist statement. You are shaming the female body by implying that female breasts should be treated differently than male breasts, something most feminists and people for woman's rights are fighting to change. They are only "boobies" to you when they happen to be on a female, it seems. Plus, kids… -
Re: 3ds Max 2016 VS. Maya 2016 for modeling?
As @throttlekitty said, simple Maya scripting docs are just fine. Chad Vernon's site and his respective vide tutorials are all Python oriented. So they can hardly help with Mel. Klaudio is right! maya's script editor shows almost all modeling scripting commands. It's really not that hard to get the point about how this… -
Re: Is it "cheating" to use photographs for textures?
Hello Rogelio, I do appreciate you giving me such a detail insight of your production process and constraints. I do agree that vfx texture & surfacing process is a very different animal than the one for video games. To be honest I only have production experience in film or high res advertising. So my thoughts about… -
Re: Building myself a rig
i wouldn't go for a 775 system nowdays, amd phenom 2 are a bit cheaper and generally faster than any core 2 duo/quad on the market nowday's, not to mention 775 have all the nail well planted on the coffin (intel core i5 coming around september or so, called i5 because they are stripped version of the more expensive corei7…
