Re: High to low poly baking, I'm in need of some direction.
I've took the liberty of cleaning up your meshes a bit, and baked it down in SP. Note the difference between the amount of chamfering I can get on the pieces that stick out and all the inner bevels around the circles. This is down to the design of the mesh. When building with baking in mind you would know to allow more… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
The mass relays were both a trap and a constraint on technological and social advancement. They offered an easy method of long distance space travel so noone bothered to research better ways, some cultures were already at a level of stagnation (like the asari). Destroying them through the Crucible isn't as violent as… -
Re: SketchDump of a newb: attemps at character art
Whats your target polygon count? Is this character intended for a mobile or light application? If not, you are wasting a lot of time trying to create detail vert by vert. I would strongly suggest using sculpt mode for the bulk of your detail; its simply more efficient. I'm sure you put a considerable amount of effort into… -
Re: maxscript idea - extrude surface expand
Hey CrazyButcher, that's the behaviour you got with nurbs. You extend an untrimmed surface and have to define only the extension amount, but in that case you have to deal with a function to describe the surface. Alter the domain, and you get your extension without any more effort. In poly modeling you got only points in… -
Re: Am I wasting my time with a Games Art degree?
Going to University to study Game art is like buying time. Everyone is buying the same amount of time and those whom use that time wisely will be the ones whom are actually successful. I myself am from England, I did a game-design degree and wish it was more art based. It wasnt as respected University as Hertfordshire but… -
Re: Custom UT3 Character with Muscle System Simulation
Hey Guys , really sorry for the late reply. For some reason I dont get notifications of new posts , so ive thought that this thread has been inactive. Ill have to find out how to enable them because its really annoying. Thanks for the feedback guys , since the last post I have really spent time addressing those issue with… -
Re: Some questions regarding the game Industry
Congrats ! Lead already :o It really depends of your type of contract and status. Also taxes and stuff vary a lot from country to country + cost of life. I don't know which percentage of taxes an american citizen has to pay, but that would be interesting to know. Don't want to "spit in the soup" :p , but french companies… -
Re: US Gov Sues The Art Institutes
I taught a class last semester at the Champlain College of Vermont. I was VERY fortunate to end up with 5 highly motivated students (3 of them got internships this past summer). I often just referred to them as 'guided missiles'. Gave them the assignment, the theory, and let them find their own way around that (often they… -
Re: Complex tiling sculpts & textures question
Well if you have a piece you know will tile, which you would do by blocking out on a wrapping plane or similar technique. You take that piece, and you duplicate it and offset it the amount will be determined by the size of the plane you used with your wrapping plane to do the blockout. Like this the red being the original… -
Re: How to export HD subdivition enabled model
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a polylimit for baking. There's one for UVs and retopology, but I think that's less of a self imposed limit, and more because those things just beg for a system crash when working with heavier meshes. I don't think Decimation Master will work either, partly for the same reason (730 million…
