Re: spore
I saw the demo of this and it was by far the coolest thing at the show. What the article doesn't talk too much about is that all the artwork in the game is procedural. Creatures have skeletons and body part attachements that determine their animations and meshes, which give you procedural texturing options to choose from.… -
Re: Omniknight : Lose that hammer!
@ Magno : Actually, I simply scaled up the model till his hand is hidden behind the sword. I also tilted the sword slightly to ensure he held it ok. Just little tweaks till it fit. Animations look great, its only the idles where every once in a while one of his fingers pops through. If you have any resources on how to… -
Re: mirroring specific area in skin mode
I have this problem at work sometimes. But I think we've gone off on a tangent from fenderbender's original question. Assuming he wants to mirror the symmetrical portion of the mesh while maintaining any skinning on the asymmetrical portion of the mesh, I agree with cw to use the skin modifier mirror in this case. This is… -
Re: Rigging Study.
Short answer: No, at least not in games. Squash and stretch animation hasn't been widely used in games for a few reasons. 1) It tech heavy On older hardware adding a 3rd or 4th parameters (position and scale) to bones creates too much data to track along side rotation. Resources better spent on something else, adding more… -
Re: Cintiq Alternatives (2015)
Hello Everyone, I have an Ugee G5, Not sure their history of making products but it looked solid and when i received it i was further impressed with the quality. I have only been using it for 2D painting and it has been great. i went to go sculpt with it for the first time since using my Wacom bamboo and it will not… -
Re: University this September - questions!
Edit: I've heard good things about the Stafford course, it's probably worth looking into. I've also heard good things about the games art course at Derby. I would certainly recommend a focused course rather than a 'jack of all trades' design course. If you feel that you should have applied elsewhere, it is definitely worth… -
Re: NEW Eat3d DVD - ZBrush Hard Surface Techniques 2
I bought it this morning and watched it to see what the big deal was. The tutorial was great and did live up to its title. But after watching it, I kept thinking of the stuff they missed out or skipped because they assume that people wouldnt want to see it. Starting stuff from scratch, and be thorough about it. (even if… -
Re: First Post
This is a solid start. Some of the pieces I could see being used in some games. Strongest piece is probably your Dark Solider. Weakest is Thing. Thing should just be removed completely unless you can give it a proper rendering scene. The Assassin's face is really hurting it. The legs and clothes seem decent, but the hair… -
Re: [Paid] Spiral - Recruitment Thread (Work with Dinosaurs!)
I won't comment on the OP or this situation, but wanted to nip this "pay after" assumption in the bud. Let me lay out how I work with first time clients. * First, we agree on what will be done, any technical requirements, concepts made clear, triangle count, blah blah. * Next we agree on a fee and what exactly will be… -
Re: Photoshop complex actions/batch
Question 1 - I'm not a programmer either, but from what I've gathered ^2 textures are going to be used one way or another; making them ^2 before runtime will let you optimize the texture at the size it'll be used, and hopefully pack things more intelligently (IE, no wasted space). So while it won't make things faster,…
