Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Not sure whether it's been mentioned as yet, but word is the boss battles were outsourced to a studio called GRIP entertainment, hence why they don't seem to fit in the game in any way shape or form. There's a video here: http://www.elecplay.com/watch/21/191/3/14# that apparently explains is all. I can't watch it in… -
Re: Are you self taught?
I had a few ok classes to learn max and maya, and more cinema/broadcast related stuff (compositing, storyboard, editing etc), but all the actual game art/tech I learned on my own (mostly through reading polycount and such). I was making game related stuff before any of that though, mostly quake and quake 3 levels, started… -
Re: Avatar
Yeah... and they're 14 feet tall too, towering above the humans in the preview. Forced perspective wouldn't work here either. Expecting some hand-to-hand situations here, too. And seriously, Gollum couldn't act any good? He almost stole the show from the real actors... And did you see the 15-minute preview anyway or are… -
Re: How do they do the creases movement on games like Fifa?
Excellent explanation. I had assumed it to be simulation because I've been goofing around with the cloth in 3DS Max. And found how realistic the folds were with complex geometry. It was running in real-time. But your post made me realize that it's complicated. Also check out FIFA 14 on next-gen consoles. They seem to be… -
Re: You know why Max is -fucking- awesome?
:::closes eyes::: I'm not even going to read, I'm just going to post my guess: Is it because it just crashed on me 14 fucking times for no apparent reason!? I mean, WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I EVER WANT TO SELECT VERTICIES!? I swear the program is fucking BiPolar. sometimes it's happy and wants to do stuff with me, and other… -
Re: So I finally got a new vc and played Doom III
I got a new vid card about a month ago and my interest in Doom 3 was rekindled as well. I finally finished it last week and have been playing DM on occasion as well. I agree with Irritant; great atmosphere and mindless, fun zombie killing. It still manages to scare the hell out of me as well. Here's the card I bought:… -
Re: the 20 days of bouncing ball - animation fundamentals - feedback/critique needed
14. Bounce across the screen with the same height each bounce. (no squash and strech) https://www.syncsketch.com/playground/752f8f4f93144b949abd445a57dd5c34#376651 15. Bounce across the screen, each bounce shorter than the last, eventually coming to a stop (no squash and strech)… -
Re: 3ds Max - Projecting decals
@"Eric Chadwick" I tried it but it's too limited to use. It would be nice to rotate, scale and move the decal as its snapped to the curved surface. I think rapid tools seems the best here. It's free btw: https://rapidmxs.com/product/rapidtools-v1-14/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaQT0dusUyA&pbjreload=10 Also the… -
Re: Student work: Mech Model
I agree, but I did not have a choice in the deadlines, they were set by a teacher. We usually get one week per project, and this one is a two week. I usually spend 12-14 hours a day at the school already so I should get the time in. I appreciate the warning though ^_^ I will look into the quad chamfer plugin, though I do… -
Re: Bakelite phone - texture critique
What's your base color value here? The phone body and cable both look super dark which is making it hard to get much of a lighting read on those parts. You really shouldn't go 30-50 sRGB. If you look at this chart, you can see the only thing that's super dark is pure coal:…
