Re: Zbrush - Zremesher not keeping Polygroups
Sure. Edit: The tool seems to remesh fine on my Surface while properly preserving the polygroups, so the problem doesn't seem to be in the model. My only guess at this point in time is that you might have Tool:Export: Grp turned off (I think zbrush does some exporting when it goes through the process, unless that was just… -
Re: CGSociety´s Game character creation review..
Hi guys, Glad to read that you all had so much fun in the course :) freakmean16 - That's a good question. The original content for the course was done with 3D Studio Max in mind. I've had a number of students using different modeling packages... XSI, Modo, Maya, Max, etc... they've all enjoyed the course, and had no… -
Re: Vista prices posted at Amazon
My comparison was with the price to get it full featured for an average user with maybe some programming needs. I don't know what is included in each version, just that the basic version doesn't include Aero. For me, I needed the Pro version of XP for the IIS, but I don't know how that will translate into these other… -
Re: Anyone Else at a State College/University (Non-Game, Non-Art)?
When you graduate, what do you want your job title to be? If your answer is more than two words, e.g. "Game Designer" or "Pipeline Developer", then you need to pick a focus. I was in a similar position where my major, "New Media Design and Imaging", was so broad that I graduated with too many skills and not nearly enough… -
Re: Zbrush - Zremesher won't preserve polycount
Thanks for the replies cryrid - I really really appreciate it. Honestly, I'm slow to dealing with it bc I'm dreading the process. If I may, here's another follow-up: why wouldn't I need to subdivide, even if I baked maps in another program? Essentially, I don't truly get how high-poly detail can be transferred to a low… -
Re: How important are my final grades for application?
Amen to that. I went to a "Game Design" program that cost me way too much money and I spent most of my time there learning tools rather than the skills I needed to do the job effectively. A 3 year degree that spends 2 years teaching specific tools (3DS Max, Photoshop, Torque 3D, Adobe Audition) and only one year actually… -
Re: Artemstudios [Updated Folio!]
Thanks guys - glad the new layout is more favorable. The reason I have a phone picture of the new car is I took it a while back while using my new computer which is not hooked up to my network or internet, and I was too lazy to transfer it via USB. It's very WIP though, so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. ZacD - Look… -
Re: Pimping and Previews/ Finished work.
In general, i really do not like the idea of split forums up into app specific. I think i have a very good reason for this as well. Me personally i know a little bit about a lot of apps, and can give help/insight on a lot of topics, even if i'm not an expert in something like max. Also, many issues that people have on an… -
Re: 3d Worn Down Glass Floor Material Needed
(1) Model the main shapes, then you "support" the shapes with extra edges (I often selection the ring of edges, use the "Connect" tool in Edge mode in 3DS Max, have the connects on 2, with a spacing between 85-95 depending on the object (not sure how well this description will transfer in text, but I'm too tired this… -
Re: Using 3D modeler to make Game levels?
Building a game world in max is the same as building any model. Some engines support direct geometry modeling for the levels, like Oblivion. Some require BSP based subtractive CSG modeling, like Quake 3 or Unreal. It's really engine specific. If you want to model game worlds, pick a game thats moddable, and learn it. 75%…
