Re: Max VS. Maya
big differences for me UI- maxes is ace for being able to find things just by going to the obvious place, mayas is not tools are placed in menus for workflow, finding things can be a pain but once you have a workflow, the customisation and amout of hidden quick menus speeds up work no end. viewport- maya isnt as good as… -
Re: Transfomers Starscream
One thing that really screamed at me (get it?) was when taking a look at it in the fighter mode. Take a look at the part that would be the back of his lower leg. The faked lighting on it is a bit harsh, and really stands out to me. I think you could also fade out some of the panel lines. It'd probably read better if you… -

Re: Baking Spec Maps Via Max
I just did a few tests, and the implementation of 'ro' in Turtle doesn't seem to be view dependent. Moving the camera around doesn't produce any difference in texture bake mode. My guess was that the weighting of the samples around the hemisphere is different, since they're using reflection vector instead of normal. A… -
Re: Graphical parity in multiplatform games
Sure, but it's not unreasonable to want a FOV slider from a game that had a multi-million-dollar budget. That's literally SO easy to implement, causes gameplay bugs extremely rarely (and rendering problems slightly more often), and is a great way to avoid giving people motion sickness. Implementing multiple resolutions can… -
Re: Best maya viewport shader to represent UDK
UDK standard material can be very easily recreated in Maya, just take a look at their UDN and CustomMaterial page, you will see they're using a basic Lambert term with a Phong additive for Specular. Transmission is also written there, which is a simple Lerp outside of your diffuse. Emissive generally speaking, is a simple… -
Re: TopoRelax Released
Being a "Tech Artist" myself in a sense, I give all my tools out free of charge. I do this for all the points dustin said more or less. To get my name out there, and get more people using my stuff. Also, to charge a price of even 20$, your script has to be pretty damn amazing to be worth it. I could probably charge for… -
Re: StoneFang wants you!
[ QUOTE ] Stonedfag [/ QUOTE ] WHAT Mainly the guidelines seem "strict" because i'm shooting for consistency with the limited skeletons I could have, but this could all change once the animation plans and stuff are written (because animating is piss-hard on my end, hence resulting on default sets of animation and such.)… -
Re: The decline of civility?
I am listening to it now, about half way through. So far I have a couple of thoughts: I think most of the people on Polycount know where the line is, and crossing that line is really not good for the person. Recent threads have been good examples of both really outragous behavior but also they have been good examples of… -
Re: Missing parameters
Also some parameters can be exposed within SD but can't be dynamic once published as sbsar. Some examples: - the shape in the shape graph and fxmaps - blending mode in blend node
