Re: First full-featured 3d-modeling software for Android tablets
To unwrap manually (but really, use a PC unwrapping tool, I came up with this method because there is no PC around for me atm) : - make a copy of the original model and try to explode it in rows of faces using the command detach (necessary when objects are curved to avoid deformations of the faces). - Selecting the whole… -
Re: 3D Animation at Uni
I'd say for the most part unless you plan on going to VFS or Guild Hall, stay away from most of the game design programs, some are ok, but most aren't. Get a fine art degree and learn to model/texture/ 3d-ize stuff through tutorials and help via websites like this one. I also hear Spark is doing good things over at AI… -
Re: Photoshop CS3 annoyances. Workarounds?
If this only occurs when you maximise your document window, then my workaround suggetion would be to not maximise it, and instead use one of the other screenmodes you cycle through with F. This has the same practical effect of maximising the screen real estate, but without the irritation you cite (maybe). I'm not so sure… -
Re: Poly-problems
Why do you think people are so mean to you? Do you think you are so unique and special that you are somehow singled out for mean treatment? Here are your problems: -You post new threads that are complete non sequiters, and often in the wrong forum. Your post about the Quake modding tool should have gone in 2D/3D… -
Re: (Portfolio)cb!/Charlie Williams -Environment Artist
OK this pisses me off. Why the hell do you have artificial loading time spinny things? Not cool. After waiting for a useless color shifting wallpaper I went to the Portfolio page, which loads for few seconds for FOUR SMALL IMAGES. Then I went to the first image, again loading while there's only a bunch of tiny images. I… -
Re: The ultimate be-all end-all Parallax mapping thread
I'm sure my advice is far from "be all/end all," but I'll give it a shot! 1) A Breakdown of the theory behind Parallax mapping Parallax mapping is a technique for real-time approximation of displacement mapping. Each pixel's texture coordinates are adjusted at render-time to create an illusion of depth as the viewer's eye… -
Re: Toehead
word! well again, i really wouldn't wory about a height map. a heightmap is a displacement map, and you really dont need to use that unless you're doing paralax mapping or something like that, I THINK. i dont know for sure, i haven't really worked with that technology. i can tel you one thing for sure -- you don't have to… -
Re: my demo reel
Hey todman, thanks for the PM the other day. Glad you like. Now your question. When I look at your characters, I see art that would most likely belong in Q2, or Q3...but the textures are very blurry, and burnt. I can see this is because of your background in airbrushing, the same rules don't apply in small pixelated… -
Re: Why do you enjoy your work?
A few reasons for me. 1) I had very little support when starting out in this career and no one would hire me for one reason or another (even with recommendations from existing team members at a studio). Now I have actual fans that adore my work and the combined work of my team. I owe it to them for their continued support… -
Re: Removing splotches in Vray Render
hey man, I'm going to pick apart your settings a bit if you don't mind. First off turn off anti aliasing, it's not like game anti aliasing where it cleans up jaggies it's almost just a sharpen in Photoshop. Now to set up your DMC sampler settings. go to your render elements tab and add a "sample rate" and render again.…
