might want to be careful about the font you are using on the signage. If this is Tokyo then they use a sans-serif + Gothic for all the signs. The text you have there looks like ancient chinese. (Mincho style). The closest fonts I can find are Hiragino or Kozuka. If you're on a mac you're in luck as these ship with the OS.…
El_PIG, the polygon count was between 15000-20000 depending on the court and the texture budget was 1.2 meg of 8bit or 4 bit textures. The Brighton court was running at 90fps though even with all the players running around. Mop, thank you! DarthRevanII, you are correct all the lighting is wrong on all the courts, the…
Bandwidth goes surprisingly fast. 25 meg video x 40 views = 1 gig bandwidth. It's not that big a deal if you've got a decent webserver (my modest hosting package has 6 terabytes of bandwidth), because you can use the FTP function and it will upload the video in a nice self-contained .swf file onto your site. As I said…
Basically what Hazardous said. Use whatever you need to make your forms, so you can start in Sculptris or with zspheres or a poly sphere and stretch it and dynamesh it to get the basic shape of what you're making. Dynamesh is good for quickly remeshing your forms as you're working, getting them down quickly and merging…
Looking great so far, but the room is very empty and unfurnished. Are you planning to add more props? If not, I would suggest making a much smaller room, without so much empty space. One other thing seems odd. The supports for the bed canopy are not centered on the legs, and the spiral seems too thin to support the weight.…
Someone tried to tell me that Women having big breasts, and skinny wastes, is Men pushing their ideals on women; this made it unacceptable. And that Men being Muscley is Men pushing their ideals on themselves; and so it's their own fault, and not as big of a deal. I think that is the most absurd argument in the world. Men…
Do newer versions of 3ds Max offer the possibility to transfer SME view tabs (so the exact layout/representation/ arrangement of the material nodes as opposed to simply merging the materials / material trees) between files? If not, are there tools for that? Couldn't find anything, and people don't seem to ask for it much,…
No worries man, but I was actually talking about the front right leg. And I don't know if hyperextends is the right word. Because of how straight the leg and the leg muscle moving a bit slower, it looks like the knee moves in instead of out the way it should. Compare frame 57 to frame 78 where there is a bit of bend and…
I don't think Python is any more "accurate" at math than MEL is. The reasons why you pick Python over MEL are others: -Much faster (something which becomes clear when you deal with many objects/components or perform math-based operations) -Much better syntax - more readable and not as hard to fuck up with -You still have…
Ok, first things first, you need to learn how to render a scene. Capturing the viewport like that is horrible for animation and makes it almost impossible to ascertain what's actually going on. For the little I can tell from that capture, it looks like almost no information has been captured for the spine or the tail. The…
