Re: Learn Maya if you already know 3ds max
Hi Bradley, I stumbled across this today, congrats on the video release. In the Basic UI Layout video, you described the Modeling Toolkit Panel as a "fake modifier panel" and that you'll explain in another video why you don't use it. As an Autodesk Maya developer, this intrigued me enough to purchase your class. In fact,… -
Re: (UE4) Killzone 3 Stahl Arms Exterior
Some good progress thus far Matt. After getting the modeling down try to really challenge yourself and provide shots of your work that look awesome not just from one perspective but from 2-5. That would really help sell this piece! It's true that the landscape may be the most challenging part of this assignment. Have you… -
Re: [CE3] Island of the Dead (my first environment)
update: main thing i did was finish the maze room so the layout of my environment is complete. ive also colored some things in to get a feel for shapes and tones and also added a really early and basic tiling texture for my ruins. im still going to add cracks to the normal map and add dirt/grunge to it. the pictures show… -
Re: organic rock UV seams
The thing with stretching is that it comes with applying a non-stretched texture to a distorted UV layout. If you bake your diffuse material from your high it will incorporate the UV stretching and bake a stretched diffuse. So your diffuse will look stretched but on the object it will look better because the stretched… -
Re: Need help/advice with UVW Mapping & Texturing
A couple things to keep in mind is to scale the pieces of the UV map so that the most important pieces are bigger. For example underneath the train can be smaller. Smaller means less quality but then the big pieces will have higher resolution. Also what was meant by mirroring is that whenever there are duplicate objects or… -
Re: Combining multiple maps into one. How?
I can't see any possible reason why you would need to pack all different textures, including diffuse, normal, roughness, etc into one image. This makes literally no sense, and means that you would need a separate UV layout for each map type, and a special shader that used a unique uv layout per texture input. This simply… -
Re: 3ds Max: Baking other maps.
When baking diffuse to diffuse, remember to shut off AA and Global Super Sampling otherwise it's going to blur things. If you turn both those things off you get a pixel prefect transfer (aside from any rescaling problems you introduce). You also don't need to project as that could cause some distrotion but bake from one… -
Re: [Portfolio] Tom Wilkinson, Environment Artist
As for the layout, I'd say u could have thumbnails first cauz all those huge images right fom the start feel a bit overwhelming. I'd make thumbs at least for major sections (scenes, props etc). As for the content itself, to me you props look much better than actual scene that uses them. That is mostly because the scene… -
Re: Wakko's Poly Disaster
Hey skodone! I had thought about closing up the gaps, but I think I'm happy with the layout so far. Thanks for the suggestion though. I brought one of the rock objects into 3D Coat and learned how to use those unwrapping tools. Tried texturing in 3D coat as well, but didn't end up liking how sometimes the brush would paint… -
Re: Capcom Mobile copies 'Splosion Man... poorly
I dunno, I remember back in 1995-1998 people DID give blizzard a hard time for their visual copying. Both for Warcraft and Starcraft. Maybe the internet just wasn't the big 'callout' place back then, but everyone I know who knew of both saw Warcraft in particular as a direct style ripoff. Maybe if Blizzard had made…
