Yeh an Alienware is what I got now. It's what 5 years old haha. Old workhorse. Look at this, nice find I think. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114796 --- Model Brand TOSHIBA Series Qosmio Model X505-Q860 Part# PQX33U-01G00H General Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit CPU Type Intel Core…
Hey there! it's been quite long and a lot of things have happened that prevented me from doing a lot of work on this scene (Including getting a job in the industry, yay!) Now that everything is a bit more settled down I can balance it all so that I can have some fun on my spare time and bring this environment to life. Even…
Frell: You're showing some great ambition, but hopefully i can give you a little advice so you can avoid needing to start over entirely on your next asset. What you want to do is break it down into stages. EDIT: 0. Gather reference, study, plan, and think about all of the shapes and how you will go about constructing them.…
It really depends on what this is for. When you're working with an engine and you start talking about switching parents then you almost always need some kind of engine code handling the transition. So basically there are three ways to handle this (that I can think of, off the top of my head). 1) Biped Prop Bone Add a prop…
Hi guys, thanks for the reports! @ PolyHertz: I see you haven't lost your edge :D 1. I followed your steps but unfortunately couldn't reproduce the issue on 3ds Max 9/2009 + XP64. I'll try to run some tests on other systems. If anyone else have any other info about this, I'd be glad to know. EDIT: I reproduced the issue.…
Hi there again Shrike :) The thread is clearly splitting into two topics so I'll comment on both separately. - - - - - On tech As stated in the recent posts above, the other factor you absolutely have to take into consideration is triangulation. In my earlier replies I assumed that it was accounted for - but if it wasn't,…
It's just a math thing, a physics thing. I'm not an expert on exactly how it all works but I'll try to explain as far as I know. If I'm mistaken on any point I'd be happy to get it clarified myself :) Gamma in short is a way to take mathematical information that represents luminance in a physical environment, and adjust it…
Yes that's right. So how do you get all this into the engine together with real physically moved and steered wheels? The way it works is basically this: The whole suspension with the spring and all gets set up and animated in 3ds max. Nothing of this is exported directly to the engine. Instead the full travel way for…
First to say what I'm looking for: * 2 to 3 concept artists (most notably a character artist and background/landscape artists) so our 3D modelers can flesh out the character designs. I sketched a few characters, but my skills are limited at the moment. So will need help fleshing out the designs. I draw traditionally on…
Hi :) During the last month, I started working on my first full environment as a side-project and figured it would be a good time to start posting my progress to get feedbacks and review what I've done (it's a good way to stay motivated). My goal was to learn Unreal engine and try to gather in a single art piece everything…
