Re: Modelling buildings with interiors
Sounds like an interesting project Dandi8, Some of the reasons i consider when making environment assets modular are, * will breaking the asset down further save resources through instancing? * will the environment contain other similar cottages that would greatly gain from the addition of variation? * will design or other… -
Re: Steam Forums Apparently Hacked
http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/11/10/2316220/valve-announces-massive-steam-server-intrusion "Valve has revealed that hackers have gained access to the Steam database and have pulled a variety of information.

Re: Church Shell
While the size of the church cant change on the exterior, are you allowed to edit the interior? The reason I ask is that if your scale is correct in that image (the size of your room compared to the assets in there) then you will be looking at a lot of empty space. You could create a floor plan which includes different… -
Re: Slicing a level up in Max before exporting to a game engine
Custom engine, for PC, made by a now-largely defunct company. The engine had some really cool tech, but it was very rudimentary in the tools dept., so we used Max as the level editor. Which in fact many other companies do. No slicing, yes snapped. Max's snap errors can be made small enough that they aren't noticeable if… -
Re: WTF Nvidia!
I'm not sure whether the OS would be causing the Steam issue, but a fresh install may sort it. You should have some kind of 'recovery' drive included with the MBA. All Macs (prior to Lion) came with recovery discs or drives which will contain the original OS and iLife. If you don't have that, I'd get in touch with the… -
Re: do you get viruses from searching for art/references?
Images can contain viruses, and those viruses can be obtained without clicking the image or visiting links. Generally, however, you need to be using an older browser for that to work. The simplistic explanation: Bad person puts virus code at end of really long metadata. Browser loads metadata, but metadata is too big.… -
Re: 3ds Max CE3 UVW Rotation of Bitmap Issue
Hey R2L, I think you've gotten a bit confused on how this all works. The CryTif plug-in for photoshop only saves your texture into a formate that can be properly read by CE3 (.tif/.dds). It does nothing to your cgf file that contains your mesh/uv data. I have no idea what your texture looks like or how it's to be used on… -
Re: Modelling with high precision
Can I ask why you want to do this? Is it just for practice or mastery sake? Like oglu said matching perfectly to references and setting up initial scene files is going to take a while. You're going to run into issue after issue as you discover that these publications of blueprints, references and the like were made by… -
Re: Houdini training, what would you like to see?
Side Effects should have made videos on how to do these things a year ago. There is already an asset, available for free, to write out vector fields from Houdini to UE4. if you want to make flip books use the mosaic COP. These are confusing things for an absolute beginner but once you've spent some time in Houdini you will… -
Re: WIP: UDK First Environment
Thanks for the replies. Yeah, as outlined in the OP it is a TDM level. Maybe I didn't take that many great screenshots. There are actually 2 sides to the map, with 2 buildings like the ones you can see on either side. The cargo containers in the middle of the map actually produce a nice mid-point for each team to meet at;…
