Re: What do you guys think about using Fusion 360 for hard surface modeling?
Fusion 360 is poor mans Catia... Rhino is the "crayons" of nurbs modeling and it is far more easier to learn than fusion or catia. The main caveat of rhino is that you have to constantly leave "bread crumbs" about what you do. It is very common in rhino that you have to delete your creation and go some steps back and do it… -
Re: [WIP] Challenger 2 TES
Holy Thread Revival Batman!! :D Yes, I am doing such a thing, but since I [part] completed my Leopard 2 project (at least A4 and A5) i decided to return to my Challenger 2 project. Originally I modelled the tank in only the Theatre Entry Standard (TES) configuration. I have since decided to revamp the tank, model the tank… -
Re: [UDK] Dwarf Throne Room
EDIT: Deleted an Imgur account and realized all my work pics were attached to it. *FACEPALM* The Work as it stands (UPDATE: May 3rd 2014): Right now I have done a few texture revamps on assets. Here's some of them: The Platform: Turned the floor into a tiling floor texture: I made the choice on feedback stating that I was… -
Re: Confusion about LOD's and mapping
Hey there. In most cases, when you speak of an LOD, you are referring to Level Of Detail, or in most games, lower resolution / low polycount meshes that can be used to swap out for the original, higher res meshes when the player / camera get far enough away. Maybe your actually talking bout the material slots in the UDK… -
Re: Trees for Games
I do my trees in a modular way most times with splines as branches. This gives me full control. If you want your tree to be a hero object with a lot of attention on it you can do the trunk with zbrush or mudbox and paint a nice texture on it and use the spline (or extruded along spine made branches) for the top of it. For… -
Re: Advice on resume writing
I'd just make a generic cover letter. I'd love to work for your company Here's what I like about the studio Here's why I'd be a great match And he's what I have to offer the team You can make it a bit modular and swap out parts that don't fit some studios. Like "I've enjoy playing your games since I was a kid", or "I still… -
Re: [WIP] Copernicus City
Anthy9986 - I guess I was trying too keep the number of Static Meshes in my scene from getting too high. Here's an image that shows how I've broken down all the static meshes in the scene. I originally intended the scene to make better use of modular pieces, but I ended up trying to stay as close to the concept as possible… -
Re: NAC-22 SMG
UVs are done! I'm breaking it down to 5 sheets - exterior, interior, magazine, compensator, and handle. The main body will be baked at 4k and the other maps will vary to match the relative texel density. I'm baking optimization into the maps - any face using the interior texture can be culled while still retaining all the… -
Re: Jungle Scene
hey Sarah i wanted to comment on a few things. Firstly i really like the fact your going w/ stylized textures. if think you could improve on the diff/normals. for the diff for the skull head, you dont need to put in the extreme white highlights like you've done, it can be toned down alot more. Let your spec map make the… -
Re: Lightmap Seams!
UDK is meant to work with baked lights for the most part. Using exclusively dynamic lights would cripple the engine pretty fast (unless you're using the DX11 features I guess), and you would miss out on some of the benefits of light maps like global illumination. I mentioned in another thread that turning the Normal Boost…
