Re: aquaboy
[edit : double frogpost here ] Haaa sorry Gok I thought it was already more widespread, I was picturing people studying like mad http://wip.global-illusions.com/d3tut/quick%20Tutorial%20-%20Doom3_PPM.htm I might speak with Vahl about a little something to add ; basically, there is a way to avoid the LWO step by using ASE… -
Re: Speed Modeling Resources?
Marking menus are a godsend. For about 2 years I was using strictly the regular menu at the top and shelf, but after working with the masterful Haikai, he enlightened me to the marking menu madness. http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157484-Maya-Demystified-The-Hidden-Marking-Menus Seriously. Get him to learn the… -
Re: xNormal instead of Max's render-to-texture?
If you are going to export to Unity there are some undertakings on forum both here and on unity to make proper tangent calculator for xNormal for Unity. From my point of view it is not so obvious but there are some differences in how unity calculates its normals and tangents. Principe is known, just results are different… -
Re: Unreal Tournament 2007 first video
So this far it was just a scripted switch to a damage model? At very least give us the ability to exchange parts of the model with a damaged version (instead of scaling down bones or something), preferrably without coding in a new species and killing netgame compatibility (custom gibs and sounds without coding would be… -
Re: Hard edges, uvs, vertex use, normals, etc
i'm not eq, but using hard edges has nothing to do with welding less uvs. you can take a model you already have with absolutely any number of uv clusters and harden all the edges that form the borders of those clusters and that itself would be conforming to his advice, you don't have to re-uv anything. it's an utterly free… -
Re: Degree and College Advice
I graduated from DigiPen, it was my ticket out of the midwest as an 18 year old. I don't recall where I placed that piece of paper but it does manage to sap my income every month. HOWEVER as much as paying for school sucks, I have a huge network of other DigiPen-related people which makes it much easier now. I learned a… -
Re: Dirk the Daring
So, it's been at least a couple weeks since I posted any updates, so I'll just give the short version. Wrapped up the textures, threw a very terribly made CAT rig ( I <3 CAT, I just suck at rigging) and posed, tweaked vertices, built 2 bases, and built a sword. The entire scene weighs in at 9655 tris, with 8123 for… -
Re: 3DS Max Pivot
What if you go to the hierarchy tab, turn on "Effect Pivot Only" and rotate just the pivot point and export? If that doesn't work, and I suspect it won't, I think it might be a problem with the way FBX exports scenes, or rather how the engine imports the FBX files. I suspect it uses 3dsmax's world node as the objects local… -
Re: Need some software advice
It's all about the art, not the tool. You can make amazing environment art in any 3d package. The industry is pretty split between Maya and Max. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but they're so minor it's not worth switching apps to overcome them. Plus, the communities are so large that you can easily find… -
Re: Maya to Max - Internal Polygon Reriangulation
to Eric Chadwick: Yes, I use this solution to keep correct triangulation, but it becomes a great headache to quadify 12-15000 tris model. Maintaining the mesh topology is important for rigging. to Vig: Maya 2010 couldn't operate on the hidden edges - there was a mel script on the creativecrash (ex highend3d) to make it…
