Re: Tools for Cleaning Up Floor Plans in .dwg?
As @DEVgenesis said I assume if all your plans are designed the same way, you could automate something in Houdini. If you want to do it by hand I'd go in Illustrator. Maybe there too you can automate something (same as Photoshop scripts) I'd maybe start doing it by hand to get an idea. If say walls are a thicker stroke,… -
Re: Eyes / mouth as animated textures
Hi Mike. Before I came here to ask, I see some tutes about, but not for my specific need or similar, so I went here ask about my case. I was in doubt wheter to use a 1-0 uv or a strip: what's better? As of how to pull 'em, I don't even guess how to do. I'm juyst a modeler and I didn't figured that it could be so difficult… -
Re: Does Indie dev experience help with getting a job an AAA studio.
If it helps, make sure you take note of distinct responsibilities and "eras" of development you're involved with, and just slowly update your resume as time goes on. For example, me blueprint scriptting with InXile is in stark contrast to my art asset making, but Imade sure to note that I did thatt for a production, even… -
Re: Add Dynamic SM Components?
Thx a lot for your explanation...will check your link. :) But I think the time investment will not pay off in this case till I reach that scripting level. I only tried it this way, because I always get " Static Mesh Actor has NULL StaticMesh property" warnings with a "Set Static Mesh" Array, so I tried it with "Add Static… -
Re: 3DS Max - Model not exporting with turbosmooth
collapsing everything is silly. I put a turn to poly modifier on top of the stack that preserves convex faces and triangulates then run a script that snapshots, exports the snapshot meshes and then deletes them - this eliminates any weird shit that can work it's way up the stack and also allows for export of meshes… -
Re: Max: Smoothing groups
There is a hard/soft edge script for max up on scriptspot.com it kind of works like Maya does on the surface but actually manipulates the smoothing groups. But actually its probably better to understand the smoothing groups first. If you want a hard edge, polys on either side need to be in separate smoothing groups. There… -
Re: Foliage and Landscaping
In modern engines foliage is usualy vertex animated. That means you don't have to animate via key frames. The animation is created proceduraly in the engine. But you have to study what method exactly is used in the engine you use. For example in Cryengine you have to vertex paint your model inside your 3d package to… -
Re: Name your weakness!
- Texel density. I spend too much time trying to do super nice and clean pixel details, which are destroyed by uneven texel density and sometimes compression. I need to find some Maya scripts to help me visualize texel density instead of the various checker patterns. - ZBrush. Moving around in ZBrush and doing anything… -
Re: Opensubdiv. What do you think?
There are reasons people don't use solely these tools. If I recall correctly, turbosmooth pro is just opensubdiv, which the pros and cons of using are being discussed in this thread. I'm not authority but I don't see it replacing control loops. Quad chamfer is a great tool which I use, but it is no replacement for edge… -
Re: How to fix Tangents when using modular geometry
One trick that some people do is to weld copies of the mesh on each tile edge and then push the UV's for those pieces outside of the renderable 0-1 area. I'm not so sure that actually works because when you delete the copies the normals change and that will probably give you a seam. I use 3dsmax and I edit the normals by…
