For me having a layout that is easy to paint on is key to saving time and sanity. I also need to pass the assets I work on, to other people so having a good logical layout is very important. If I "need" to, later I'll repack to another UV channel and render the first channel to the second. Often for this I end up using the…
Update: After looking around the mall Best Buy choices sucked. They only had the high end noise reduction hooked up. But the receiver they had them hooked into was staticy, so I couldnt tell sound quality. I found one of the Brookends? I forget that high end electronics/comfort store. They had a smoking deal on a…
Here are the final renders from UE4 and Marmoset. This is our first bundle regarding this theme, and our first product is now available on Epic's marketplace: https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/fairytale-props-bundle Original…
I'd be surprised if anyone really knows what's going on inside NK. Apparently even Kim needs to be shown around... http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ Honesty, people fake reports about productivity so they don't get punished, and this starts way down the hierarchy, so anything that ends up in the actual government…
yes 'really,' poopipe you were being a bit provocative when you used the term 'stealing' . could have just said it was not allowed I consider it more to be more fan art really and it can be a grey area as you well know. I have modelled an 3d object of a comic book/poster and placed it in my scene. The scene is the main…
Right well I've put in 20+ hours so far and I have to say some of these environments are way below AAA quality. I saw a brick wall with texture seams out in the open for all to see @_@ And the more I play the more I don't feel anything for these bosses. A lot of them, I've forgotten. But one thing I do dislike is that to…
I had the luck that both mods that i joined got released and were reasonably succesfull. There are a few indicators that can tell you something about the prospects of a mod: Is the leader just an "idea guy"? Then avoid at all costs. Ideally he's a hard working coder or artist with good communication skills and strong…
The one point I dont agree with is the "End of the Day" note. 3pm is not the end of anyone's day; to me and the clients I've worked with having it in "by the end of the day" means "so you can look at it first thing tomorrow." If you want a file by mid afternoon, then you really are not asking for it by the end of the day.…
Hello, I will not go over all the reasoning for the adoption of the "EA Sports-like" set of tools as some sort of exercise, or even as an admittedly useful shortcut to reduce some tedious aspects of model creation. That is because even though tech knowledge never hurts and can be indeed be very useful ... it is a moot…
I am looking for a simple MaxScript to speed up my workflow. When I press tilde (The key to the left of the number '1'), I want Max to check the modifier stack of all objects with the prefix "HP_" for a TurboSmooth. If non exists, add one to the top of the stack with 2 iterations, but if one already exists, then make the…
