Re: Portfolio Critique - THANKS!
Ah ok. I had done them with the idea of showing off smaller props as well as larger scenes. when I rebuild the site I will try to make it clear and distinguish between full scenes as well as pops. My next piece will again be a full scene Attachment not found. Thats a slightly out of date (the render from last night I saved… -
Re: Normal Map: Meshes projecting into eachother
It seems like we are getting closer. I disabled the instancing and it already is looking much better. However there is a new problem. For some reason only 2 legs are getting messed up. I extended the cage even more on the areas you mentioned. I have a new source. The reason I'm trying to model this in separate pieces is so… -
Re: Maxscript Dynamic UI items
It means they are good ideas :) You can try something on retopologization. Skinning is still an open field. I wanted to do something on this. A script for baking that explodes the mesh, bakes and rebuild it. A script that automatically build a good cage starting from a low poly overlapped to a high poly model. Just think… -
Re: hard surface robot guy
Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to comment! RE posing and painting: I'm a little burned out on this for now. I could rebuild everything as a single mesh, export displacement maps, and move it around in max, but I'm ready to move on to another project. I also didn't do a lot planning before hand, so very little thought… -
Re: (UDK) Mirror's Edge Inspired Hallway
I usually just cave and rebuild the lighting :) I think your lighting could use some work. For example, you have a bright light reflecting on the exit sign, and once across from it, but I can't really figure out what is casting the light. I'd assume there's a light right on the ceiling that is just off camera, but I don't… -
Re: Head (for animation)
[ QUOTE ] @Rick: I usually add that loop in, but Taron's 'Neckling' http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/1820/necklinggeom7ch.jpg was my main reference for the base mesh, so I decided to see if I could get it to work ok too. I think it seems ok in the deformation tests I did. [/ QUOTE ] Fair enough. Thermidor and I just… -
Re: High res head
Shotgun, I find photo reference is cool for blocking out the basics, but then we all like to add our own style to it. I often find that some photo reference doesn't seem to translate very well. I often choose a particular kind of head photo that I know will look ok in 3d I have done several different versions of this now… -
Re: maya 2009 transfer maps
ok , it worked softin all the edges man , so i already set the smoothing groups and worked, its strange it seems that maya corrupts every geo imported, i tried FBX , .Dae and .obj with diff settings and tweakage all gave me trouble, i had to rebuild smoothing groups from scratch etc...anyway good stuff thanks for the help… -
Re: WIP Mech
Thanks a lot everyone! I agree. It does look blocky now that you mention it. I'll try crossing the blades like Proxzee suggested. The only reason I didn't stash them in the slots on the arms were because I put those slots there so his arms could bend more. It does sound bad ass, though. I was eventually going to redesign… -
Re: DW3 character return - WIP
I actually didn't use any obvious references to make the design. It was totally my invention. But my idea was to design armour with bird motives. So it may looks little bit like Aztec little like Roman influences but it wasn't my objective. She is an archer so i thought about light armour with metal and lather elements.…
