Well, when I said "=/= old western" I could have been a little less sweeping in the comment. There -are- old western style steampunk too. The third link I posted in clothing is very clearly western inspired. Hell, "wild wild west" with will smith has plenty of steampunk in it. My intent, though I failed to word it…
Lol Mark, this is a pretty tangential rant. There's another equally plausible situation: "There is no need to count the number of sides", because the computer does that for me, and/or because it has no relevance in most situations. Modo doesn't crash if I create a 13 sided face instead of a pentagon. The reason n-gon for…
That's the thing though, realism isn't my end goal (at least not in the production I'm working on and will be for the next year or two). A stylised sculpt is the direction I want to take this in but I do appreciate that all stylised work has roots in realism. To illustrate what I want to achieve I think it's best to look…
Thanks for the links ! And indeed the locked-in DLC approach is ... smart . It could also be seen as a ripoff but yeah at the very least there should be a mention of it on the used box. Regarding the case of Heavy Rain, I guess it's all about perspective. The studio is saying that they "lost 10 millions", but I think…
Anyone done any work with using the BINK encoded videos in the engine? We are running into issues consistently getting the audio to play from machine to machine. I wasn't able to find much documentation on the functionality of the feature or even some kind of best practice for working with it. EDIT: Okay so we were playing…
If its the root node of the biped "Bip01" you probably need to click the controllers button at the top and also flatten out Turning Horizontal and Vertical. Also check the position and rotation curves (drop down menu to the right of the controllers button). If its a TCB curve you'll need to crank up the tension to flatten…
[ QUOTE ] and n30g3n3s1s: gf broke up with you cause you arent christian enough? wtf!! my friend told me about one of his old roommates whose gf asked him to have sex with him and he, being a hardcore christian, said he wouldn't have sex before he gets married and they broke up over it. Uuuugh, some people.... [/ QUOTE ]…
That's what I've done in the past and it works pretty well. I guess you could try using Render to Texture but something tells me that'll be messy? Never really tried it that way before. It will probably pay off to render with some simple lights or close to 70% self illum, default viewport lighting will probably look wonky.…
Without a doubt I prefer modeling and texturing to rigging and skinning. It's the rigging and skinning that kills it for me and removes the joy from the process. I have absolutely no problem with the actually modeling phase and I've even emulated edgeloops I've seen on models that move well it's just that I can't skin my…
Exactly. Having a Utopia is impossible as it would mean we have achieved perfection and we all know that perfection does not exist. We are constantly improving, debunking and replacing old ideas, mechanisms and so on. To have Utopia would mean the end of progress and evolution. As you mentioned, Jacque himself has stated…
