Re: Ok, seriously though (Biped curves?)
If you need to use Biped, just forget about the Curve Editor. It just doesn't support it very well, and TCB curves aren't human readable anyway. Biped doesn't support Out-Of-Range curves either, so that's out. However Biped has many benefits. 1. It's dead easy to setup. Just size it to your character. 2. The copy/paste… -
Re: The Influence of Art Direction
I would have to agree with Gauss on the sentiment that Doom's look wasn't achieved by accident, the game had a very strong and very consistent art style that is easily recognizable. And how do you communicate that a revenant is an undead rocket launching killing machine? Well it's a 7 foot tall skeleton man with rocket… -
Re: [UE4] Hacker's room - improvement thread
wires for the computers can indeed be modeled out as splines with some sort of sweeping/lofting on them. You can always just decrease the amount of edge loops on it to optimize it so there are not too many triangles in places where it doesn't need them, although I'd still keep the forms relatively curvey. If you wanted… -
Re: Graveyard Diorama
Hey guys, been a while since i've posted. Heck with Fallout 4 out, it's been the main reason! xD Considering however, it's been mostly blocking out, there's not been much i could post. However i've done a fair bit more. I've created some headstone models. These i will probably make duplicates of, take into ZBrush and do… -
Re: MMO World Design
I haven't seen a huge uptake of World Machine probably because it's results are a bit unpredictable. For instance, I know it was used to some extent on Lord of the Rings Online, which came out 7 years ago but there are still plenty of studios that preferred having artists/designers sculpt the play space. Typically you have… -
Re: Medieval Dungeon [UDK]
I see what you mean about UDK. Honestly I find the lighting and rendering system a bit inferior, as it has a tendency to wash the scene out when baked. It can take alot of trial and error to get things looking proper. With that said here are some solutions for you.. - make sure your normals are aligned right. If going from… -
Re: Need good gaming computer to ditch consoles
I recently built my wife a computer, prior to this she was running a 7 year old Dell. It held up well over the years but let's face it, a Radeon 9800 and DDR ram just doesn't cut it these days. I'm not a computer wiz by any stretch of the imagination, but here's what I went with: These are the parts I bought (from Newegg):… -
Re: Chico State Game Studios Modeling Weeklies
I critique art because I enjoy it, I look at art for inspiration and to learn, and I create art because I love it. I'm a game programmer, I don't make money at all off of art. Being that I am not paid for anything, and you are paid to lecture and help, I just don't really understand this at all. Are you not able to… -
Re: Skipping cutscenes in games
I think another factor here is that game engines and gameplay sequences are really advanced now. Back in the days of Diablo 1 and Warcraft 2 and Ultima 7 and such, the cutscenes were a reward; you've completed something important within the crude world of the game engine and then you were given a story beat in a much more… -
Re: Rottilo sculpt - Feedback request and ZBrush issues
@ReverendK, Thanks for the input, I definitely see what you mean about the legs now you say it (well, said it 7 months ago). I don't think I'm going to be doing any more sculpting on it simply because it such an old piece and I've learned a lot since then. This project got shelved after I started working full time in 3D…
