To all Animators ....after a lot of reflection, I’ve realized that quality animation process/workflow videos are unfortunately not always affordable or available to everyone in certain parts of the world. The internet, on the other hand, is something that most people have access to, which is why today I’m announcing the…
Hi guys, I'm slowly building up the skeleton bones. I'm tackling this piece how I normally would with any other character. Working from big forms first, making sure to nail down proportions and silhouette first. I block in the different masses starting with a primitive, usually a sphere that I dynamesh down to a…
Thanks igi I was looking into the pipelineIO script and it looks like a "god send" and it would be nice to see a tutorial for it. My problem is modo and ce3 have the possibility to work hand in hand on all levels just like max and as Cry-Ruan has stated to me "the entire RC is based around COLLADA" and you also have the…
The thing is, you can't ever automate art :) sure you can automate many of the processes within art. But at it's core art is about creativity and design. I welcome the automation because it allows me to do more in a single day. We all only have 24 hours in a day so the ability to do more in that same time frame is great!…
Disclaimer: I have not programmed a complete game engine or worked extensively with levels inside existing game engins, but I do have experience making a terrain engine with XNA. As far as the Oblivion vs Crysis map size goes, I'm going to take a guess and say that, per pixel in the height map, they are either using a…
Performance: The amount of reflection captures on the screen matters but you can go pretty much crazy, I never noticed a significant impact, even when using a lot of them. This was with the default cubemap resolution. You can increase it in the project settings, if you need to... Also, they get baked when you press build…
@GeorgeCrudo thanks for your thoughts. i agree it is probably smart to be careful not to throw away programming so fast. my outlook, however, is that i often think i'd much rather be a janitor than go on writing more mind numbing code. i realize that i am possibly a little strange :) and if i can get a job with some visual…
Hi everyone, day 7 of this little exercise of mine. As it stands Im learning lots and will probably give it another week and see where it all stands then. Once again I did it in greyscale, it worked alright, Im not thrilled with the results but it was decent. I decided after this to challenge myself and did another one in…
As some one who's been extensively drawing for the past 6 months trying to finally get better at this, I can totally understand your point of view and maybe frustration. This is something I've always wondered about, and I think that the main problem is that we just cut Nature a lot of slack. I can't tell you how many times…
I'm just going to skip to the end and ignore your response to my very obviously leading question because it's irrelevant anyway: At the risk of sounding like a broken record in my conversations with you, this is a complete strawman. You've misrepresented his entire argument by focusing on the victim here which is a total…
