Re: Can we be writers too?
Hope you guys run with this, there's definitely room for a forum focused on video game story writing. Should be fun watching this unfold, make sure you get off on the right foot, set the tone for what it is the forum is and does. If you could find a couple guys on the inside into the forum to maybe give you guys a writing… -
Re: Turret from Homeworld2
Thanks Noors for pointing this out. The dark lines on those edges came from a occlusionmap whichw as generated from the normalmap. The plan was to use this for pushing some details which were not so much visible in the baked occlusion map. But finally I left this out completely to safe the time for cleaning those dark… -
Re: 3DS Max vs Maya
Both max and maya is good. using both have inspired me to try different approaches to transfer workflow between the 2 packages and do something new. Maya forces you to work really clean and organized. whereas Max gives you more freedom. Things I like in Max: - Large amount of Modifiers - Smoothing groups - proper… -
Re: Submarine-Game Room
thanks ! yeah i'll be sure to put a rough impression of my textures on all my objects =. :) yeah, your very right. I noticed i gave the desk a hardcore beat up look, i'll re work the texture on that and more details (objects) will come :) The monitors are like a HUD. I'll just gonna leave the rest of the objects the way… -
Re: TexTools for Blender
Hello, great tools great work. I have a couple questions. 1) similar to max relax tool and more likely similar to maya unfold tool, can a tool be added? And maybe something like maya layout tool, a tool that will scale, rotate uvs and pack in 0-1 space. So small polygon islands in 3d, takes less space in uv. 2) can we bake… -
Re: UV layout Issue
The flat part you are getting is from the cylindrical map, it's creating the seam in a weird spot because it can't deal with the round shape you are modeling. Please try this it works quite well. 1. Planar map whole object from any angle. 2. Select edges up the back of the neck where you want the uv seam. 3. cut uv's in… -
Re: Question about my unwrapping
yes... even the best planned unwraps can go wrong... like some doofus showing the part of the mesh in the game you used to hide all the stretching and seaming... and that you told him not to use. :P Take a tissuebox for example, you need to cut the box apart so that the entire thing lays completely flat, those boxy objects… -
Baking Maps from High Poly Models
So I've been trying to model solely with high poly models and try to texture them. (somewhat following Tor Frick's workflow) I just tried to bake out an AO using the new MTB 3, but this occured. I didn't send the rays too far, and I didn't get this result before on a cylindrical mesh. Tried another mesh and this time the… -
Straighten curved UVs - Cloth - 'Sewing pattern like'
Hi guys, I wonder what your workflow is to straighten curved UVs like sculpted cloth has. I'm very new to Maya, but to be honest I wouldn't know any real solution for this in my native 3D program. As you can see, the wip cloth is very curved and had some "subtle" wrinkles. As expected, after a quick 'n dirty unfold, the… -
Orange Characters
Ohh great, I get to show something. I worked on this drawing casually over the summer months by only drawing it while sitting in coffee shops 1 - 2 times a week. It was done on 6 pieces of plain printer paper. I would overlap 2 pages and draw across the gap. I put them together in Photoshop later. Media used is Crayola…
