Re: tessellating a mesh based on special texture with dots for vertexes?
theoretically yes - unreal supports creation of mesh geometry at runtime practically - you really, really wouldn't want to do it in blueprints. Generating the points wouldn't be too awful to implement but the surface meshing algorithm is way beyond what you'd want to do with node based scripting. It's a solid idea in… -
Re: Steam Sales! Great games and 3D Software!
The Modo/Mari Bundle sounds very tempting. I´m just not sure how limiting the removed features are, the Polygon/Render Limits seems big enough, export in .FBX and .obj sounds good as do the image file formats and I won´t be needing network Rendering. But I am not realy sure about those two points: - Python editor,… -
Re: 3ds max 2015 vs 2016 vs 2017
Yeah.. 2017 problem doesn't happen for everybody. Our studio had to move to 2017 from 2016 because of some important fixes(TrackView, Obj poly export) and enhancement(alembic and python). So far 2017 has been a lot stable than 2016. We also install almost all commercial plugins FumeFX, VRay. All Thinkbox, Itoo. Even then… -
Re: Noob Struggling with Advanced Project (Need Help ASAP!)
Sorry, should have been more specific about the schools I'm applying to: UPenn, CMU, RPI, WPI, RIT Lehigh, NYU, etc. A lot of alphabet soup, but they're all strong liberal arts schools with either established or up and coming BS degrees area like Game Design, Digital Media Design or Game Design and Interactive Media (to… -
Re: Alex's Texture Scans
Hey Alex, Sweet work with the scans. I've been working on a head scanner (and in progress body scanner) myself, and have been considering setting up a little system for materials, plants and potentially another for small props as well. Have you considered diving in to arduino to automate the capture process? My thinking… -
Re: Blender Fork Bforartists
Quick update. Bforartists Version 0.9.1 is a bug fix release that fixes some show stoppers. So this release is rather small. Bforartists did not compile at Linux because of wrong Python version. The addons in the Testing category didn't show. And quite a few addons didn't work anymore. The hotkey map was here and there… -

Re: A basic game engine for my first game jam?
Unity took home the super-happy-friendly piece of software for the last 2 years running, and it's probably the easiest, quickest piece of software to get into. Before you go to the game jam though, I'd heavily recommend grabbing and familiarizing yourself with the editor (should be fast) and grabbing and testing the… -
Re: Where should I start?
CLM, At 16 you're super young. Try things out. Try graphic design, 3D, animation, etc. They're all as deep as you want them to be. I don't know how education works in your country, but around the time you actually go to Uni, pick ONE to focus on and make that you're "thing". Take electives in other fields if you like, but… -
Re: 2 custom applications.
I thought about this before, what i really wanted was a quick app that lets me save a picture from the web and then add tags to it, like on all those web 2.0 sites with those 'tagclouds'. The windows image viewer supports those tags so it would be really fast to find what you're looking for and find groups of images that…
