Re: Circle is a square. (.png)
It expands to a square because it's easier to encode square blocks of colour. The image considers that part to be transparent anyway, so it block fills it with the nearest colour to pad it. It could just fill it with white, but then you'd get white peeking in around the edges of the transparency. Each pixel has to have an… -
Re: Skinning/rigging vertex stretching in fingers
That... is a crazy problem and based on the screenshots I have no idea why its doing that. You might want to check the Bone Effect Limit in the skin modifier under Advanced Parameters. Its the number of bones that are allowed to influence a single vert. Typically for realtime games it needs to be 4 or less but max defaults… -
Re: Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess
Here is my first time creating a realistic looking eye, through the process I learned a pretty quick workflow for creating them. I suggest modeling one and giving it a shot, I'd be happy to help if you've got any questions. I followed Tom Newbury's tutorial - https://gumroad.com/tomnewbury I'm also figuring out hair cards… -
Re: Computer Requirements
Buy a cheaper i7 3770k, and ddr3 memories at 2400mhz, and a good mobo with 16+8. Don't waste your money when you can buy the combo i said for less than 600€ in europe. Also, don't buy velociraptors... buy SSD if you want the best perfomance. There are OCZ vertex 4 128gb for 120 euros. If you are going to do game art (UDK),… -
Re: More Stable Job Opportunities in 3D Art
I've heard making art for Casinos both pays well and is very stable. And while it's true the game industry can be risky, I believe working for the 1st party developers (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony) offers a bigger safety net than most 3rd party studios. Although SCE Liverpool and Lionhead show there's a still a chance of… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
It should be working as long as you multiply the displacement by a World Normal. However it is going to be harder to see depending on how high you have tessellation multiplier. The lower that number the less tessellation it will have. I have it on 2 right now because the scene is so small I traded visual quality over… -

Re: Concept Art Workshop: Dallas
lorne lannings talk was intresting. Part of me thought it was somewhat insightful- the other part, jesus this guys a nut job. The over all gist: "Acid will open your third eye." 0_0 it was a little odd to get such a huge endorsement for LSD on the first day from a keynote, but in some ways it was reminiscent of some Hunter…
