Thanks Xoliul, makes more sense. The car, as you've seen in the bmw thread, is for my portfolio. I never thought of this. Using a mask for a shader. This sounds like a way to make multiple paint jobs if many copies of the car are to be on screen.
the main difference is they probably only care to screen anything that goes on the marketplace for sale. if there's free penis tanks, why bother caring? It certainly won't affect anyone's opinion of the game, UT has ALWAYS had those sorts of mods.
Here's my current progress with the gun! Shred it to pieces. Crappy Maya print screen to show him holding it.. Hmm..upon looking at these screenshots..photobucket really blurs everything up. I need to fix that, apologies for the time being.
So after a couple months of learning substance a little more, I came back to it and decided to give the model and textures another pass. Quite a bit happier this time around. Here are the new screen shots. Hope you like :)
Totally impractical - you could only take baby-steps since the floor slopes 'up' all around you.. Might as well get a wii-fit style stepper device, walk on-the-spot and use the 'gun' to turn on screen..
Another update. Finished most of the body details, but now I need to figure out how to do the screen (it's fishbowl shaped, and bulged outwards in the middle) and also how to wrap that wire around his entire body. Onward, ho!
Two important things. 1. Your images don't resize above a certain resolution. They're quite small for the size of some screens nowadays. 2. I can't drag and drop or direct link to your images!!!! Super important.
I've had constant crashes when I accidentally make a snapshot, I try to clear the screen with the Ctrl+N shortcut and when I drag the model again in the viewport it crashes a lot, anyone has an idea what is causing this??
I can't quite tell from the second long cuts, but I think I'm going to find it very jarring whenever there are shot actors on screen over CG backgrounds. I don't thing those shots work at all.
Thanks for your reply. here is a screen grab. I'm trying to create a crystal/ruby on his russian hat. It's bothering me, the way the gem looks right now. I'm done with almost everything except of the hat, hair and furr.
