Re: Autodesk increase Student Pricing Model for 2013 - by £4000
...eeh yeah there is, its called softimage xsi. I have been a big max user since the last 5 years, last year I switched to softimage and my worflow/speed improved drastically. - it hardly crashes (almost never), the ui is not full of shit, passes are an awesome thing, also overwrites, uv unwrapping is a "mode" not a… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2013 Edition
Wow, thanks so very much for the great feedback guys. I really really appriciate it. No bones. Vertex shaders are doing all the heavy lifting. I've got a baked spherical normal texture that tells the vertices in what direction they should point when in ball mode. Moreover, the buldings are just one mesh, and all the… -
Re: [WIP] Car Mini One First Modeling and Texturing for Videogames
5_Mapping UV of Mini One First car Hi 3DModelers, In this post I show you the mapping UV of this car. This process was easier and faster than the modeling stage. My mapping workflow is to begin by applying a Planar mapping to all the pieces, and then I cut each edge to prepare the uv shells in order to unfold them… -
Re: XSI to Max 8
OK, topics to look up would be Editable Poly, which will probably be your main modelling tool. Edge Rings, Loops, Connect, Cut, and Smoothing Groups will be the stuff to look up. Smoothing Groups is how Max handles hard edge/soft edges. Within Editable Poly you can also activate Subdivision surfaces, which is sometime… -
Re: [MAYA] Hard edges on UV seams when baking normal map.
I had a look at it marmoset, there is something wrong. The only thing I did really that changed anything fundemental that looked definitvely problematic, was I triangulated the low poly. Since you were baking in maya and maya is the target renderer, not sure if thats the fix you are actually looking for as triangulation… -
Re: Epic and Quixel
Use the tools you're already comfortable with! Just make sure that you export everything into Unreal. This is a license you agree to with Epic stating as such, so ultimately it's us trusting that you'll do right by us as we're trying to do right by you. Without Epic's backing it would be utterly impossible for us to offer… -
Re: [Blender] DECALmachine: surface detailing using mesh decals
Something I would love support for is to be able to generate edge decals more easily. I would love to be able to have a bunch of edges selected and easily create a new object that is basically an L-shaped extrusion that is unwrapped out of the box. Creating edge decals today is a rather tedious job and it is especially… -
Re: cabin in the woods
I went to see this as planned with my gf recently on Monday. It was fun! Not so surprised it had the cliche introductions and young adult casting of a typical "kids from suburbia who are stupid and don't know common sense" had been the run off into really digging the beginning of the movie for telling the whole story.… -
Re: recent thoughts about 9/11
I believe some of the fiction may be fact. We want to believe our government tells us everything, and we believe we have a right to know. The government never told us of the german sub destined to destroy New York shortly after germany's surrender, and how close it came. So it'll most likely be 2051 before we uncover some… -
Re: 3D artist + concept support for Dominance War 4?
aye. this is what gets me. this has been a great discussion so far with very valid points from both sides of the issue. I know I'd prefer to do my own concept all the way through, but I also know that If I had someone more skilled in concepting do it (or at least help me out) so that I had a much clearer vision, the end…
