Re: raul's envirioment busts
This stuff looks fantastic. Great job on the couch seat, very authentic. And that wall is something else! The High Poly, on one hand,is good but isn't all that impressive and doesn't do a great job at specifying the materials, but you've used it in such an effective way and what you've been able to transfer to the low is… -
Re: animation test, c&c plz........
the rules of any animation are 1)antic 2)action and 3)conclusion The antic is where you add a sense of how the action is going to take place. look at any warner brothers or hana barbera cartoon, before they proceed with the action they charge up ( i.e fred flintstone before he runs) The action is what you've got already,… -
Re: Zbrush inorganics?
Most 90 degrees or more generally speaking, sharp hard shapes extruded on Zbrush models come either from : -Masks created by polygon selections performed at a low or medium subdivision level> delete hidden>store morphtarget>inflate>create diff between morph (mask can also be create by applying a random 90degrees scifi… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
A lot of people use youtube because they lack the means to upload mov files. It happens on a lot of forums, even on animation boards. I give up and save the youtube videos using www.savetube.com and then covert them to .mov if I need to step. It's more work on my end but I find it faster than the back and forth you get… -
Re: Shader/ParticleFX pipelines...?
Im not an expert, but ive got the following links saved in this general hlsl area: http://www.tech-artists.org/ - I think this place is a good resource. you use Max, so below is a realtime shader system that fits right into max, also its free for independant use, but your company I think will have to purchase a license.… -

Re: Applying out of your country?
hey daz, in the two cases where i was invited to the states it would have meant applying directly, assisted by lawyer/HR from the company. that would have still meant facing all the limitations of the system (e.g.small number of work visa that are made available per year), it was no backdoor that would have gotten me in… -
Re: AAS in Animation? Done. What next? Guidance on my degree crossroads
Since the core credits from my animation degree are the same as a bachelors of computer science degree, it would only be another 2 years (~$19,200) to get the CS degree. And if I went to Devry online, I hear I could get a Bachelors in Game and Simulation programming in under a year from the credits that transfer over. So,… -
Re: Baking animation frames using particles in Max
ran a quick search and found few things .. maybe you want to give them a try. cheers! =================================================================== If it's a very important explosion you could write (or maybe find) a maxscript that skins (rigid) each expoded mesh chunk to a bone and then you could use an explosion… -
Re: Real ingame screens of mgs4
Usually i'm the one thinking 'idiot' when someone bitches about graphics getting less impressive near launch, and as Daz has said this has its reasons, but rarely have i been this dissapointed by it before. It's not just the deterioration that bugs me, it's how the characters look so out of character in the environments.…
