Re: Modern Flame Thrower MKV 1
Hey Lightbird, That looks like a good start, liking some of the shapes you have. A few things to consider, some of these areas are unfinished, or don't look like they've been thought out. The area in front of the trigger is especially confusing and unclear, but there are other parts where a modeler wouldn't know what to… -
Re: Question about Contractor inside Uk
Most places don't give the option though, they either go through PAYE or pay you the full amount and get you to sort out your own taxes. There is benefits to both, PAYE means you don't need to worry about sorting out your own taxes, on your own you can look into expenses and claim back some of your expenditures, but you… -
Re: Time Management (Self learners + College students only)
Well....its Bachelors in Software engineering (since now is the best time for me to return to college and complete what my initial goal is) How it is related to game dev? The Programming part and also since my college is a Microsoft NUT they do have an elective of game development which is so not related to the game… -
Re: Animating a single variable of an exposed float3 input in Substance Designer?
@iam717 and @poopipe , thanks for the replies. I don't know I was kind of having a bad week. I guess I'm having a hard time learning Substance Designer because, I've never really done much texturing in the past and I guess I'm just going through the growing pains, which is to be expected if I want to get any better. The… -
Re: Maya with Vista, crashing on high-poly meshes (500k+)
i went close to 50 mil without crashing at my home pc but it was really really laggy and unstable. my memory usage was around 7gb with very little mem left for the OS and other tasks. if i had more memory i would be able to go higher i think. posting screenshot and specs. 15 x ~3 mil poly cube = ~47 mil -
Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
@FrankPolygon Thank you very much for your answer. You are right in many places. I don't plan on quitting my current job, I like my job. I am just looking for something that could be 50% my hobby and 50% my side "mini business". Yes, I did the math, it would probably take a longer time to actually pay for that camera from… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
The main goal is to have relatively cheap sort-free pseudo transparency. Anti-Aliasing would only "smooth" the geometric edges of triangles. When using alpha-tested effects for foliage/hair and whatnot all the "edges" are actually inside the triangle and therefore would alias (full pixel is either 100% in or out, not like… -
Re: Best workflow for creating materials based on photo captures?
Joost's advice is spot on, but just a few more things to add: The aperture you'll want to use will depend heavily on distance to object. If you're very close to a small object, F8 may not give wide enough DOF, so some areas will be out of focus, so you may need to go down to F16 or so. For large objects that are further… -
Re: Industrial Scene - CryEngine 2 [WIP]
Thanks, agree on the sky. This is not based on chernobyl however. But yeah i can see where you found some resemblance. :) Thanks I will post some more angles along with next update somewhere in future :) "I ain't got time to bleed" My portuguese friend has spoken. Yes, personal taste indeed :) Posting some stuff along with… -
Re: Slide Edge Equivilent/script in Max?
Yea looks like someone was scaling in object mode not sub-object? You really didn't need to reset xform, that's a bit like using a handgun to kill a fly. Just resetting the scale transform would have fixed it. Hierarchy tab > Reset > Transform/Scale The reset Xform utility resets the scale and transform just like above but…
