Re: Realistic Tropical Island - Aztlan -
For starters your palm trees are too perfect, too green. The stems of the palms coming out of the base ion the real image have more yellow, and this doesn't stop anywhere. the yellowness continues throughout the palm, with some dead tips and broken palms. the real palm trees also have a lot of dead matter in their tops,… -
Re: TF2 Nurse
@oobersli: The short and fat silhouette would be awesome, I was actually thinking of doing it that way. It could work for 200 health points like the Soldier; since he's the only one. But, I really want her to be like the poster on the wall though, so I'm gonna work the sleeker silhouette. As for the weapon, I went with the… -
Re: Viking/Nordic environment
Erik the Viking is a great point of reference for more authentic style constructions, Terry Gilliam knows more about history and mythology than most of us put together and tried hard to make things as realistic as possible. That's not to say the production values are realistic by today's standards but it's still a good… -
Re: 2D skill levels required for the 3D Artist
I think to a certain extent it really boils down to exactly what your goals are, and what type of work you're doing. To me, it seems much more important for character artists to have a very solid knowledge of 2d, drawing, anatomy etc, than it would for someone who is doing weapons or props for instance. That is not to say… -
Re: Tablets...
The bamboo's fine. Those who say it's inferior can't have spent any great amount of time with them. My experience with the Graphire and Bamboo has been extensive, and I'd say they're each others equals in general. The Bamboo's build quality seems a bit better, in that the transparant flap over the active area is a bit… -
Re: reasonable free/cheap particle editor?
[ QUOTE ] There's an Ogre particle editor beta, also open source like said graphics engine.

Re: Bored (update: 8/22)
[ QUOTE ] Very nice The eyes are awesome. But, like the rest of us, you are a character texture artist and your stuff is flat! I'm looking at you Bobo and your flat monkey. Poop, your green head is flat. Ferg, you also are flat. Why must we be flat? [/ QUOTE ] i thought about that question a lot, you know. i think,… -
Re: Bleeding your textures past UV borders
EDIT: Wow, I just noticed this is an ancient thread. Oh well. You already have some answers, but I will share my method: The edge padding function of Render To Texture should do this for you. The rule of thumb I use for calculating edge padding is this: Ask youself which mip map level you expect the model to be seen at in… -
Re: New Editable Poly Modeling Script for Max
I'm glad you guys are finding this useful. Rakile: Macroscripts are run a bit differently than regular scripts. They're saved in the UI/Macroscripts folder and can be assigned to buttons and hotkeys instead of having to manually run it every time. How to save and run a macroscript 1. In Max, click on the MAXScript menu and… -
Re: Game and Mod Development Article
Just my 2 cents (with the danger of repeating some stuff; good article btw, Chris) Think small, start small, then release. But don't make a big fuss about the initial release. It needs to make people realize how much potential your idea has, but don't create hopes you can't fulfill. Extent later on. Also think of creative…
