Re: Unreal 3 vs. COD4 as an engine / editing tool for an apsiring Environment to learn.
COD4 Radiant editor tools leave A LOT to be desired. You'd be better off using Source/Hammer (Orange Box SDK), Sandbox 2/Crysis, or UnrealEd (for Unreal Engine 3). I'm especially looking forward to Rage, one of Id Software's next big games, as the tools look quite cool. :) -
Re: Maya 2010 and MJ Poly Tools
I'm using 2010 now. As far as what it did,I could select and edge and then hit split edge in MJ Tools and it would put an edge loop exactly in the center of the edge I had selected. Lets say I selected one of the edges that formed the waist loop of a character, if I went to MJ Tools and split, it would split in the center… -
Google Tools
I may be out of the loop on this, but I just stumbled accross one of Google's tools called Google Sketchup. Appaerntly it's their shot at trying to create a user firendly, streamlined 3D application. Mostly I see this more in compotition woth AutoCAD than Max, Maya and the such but knowing that google is an evergrowing… -
Re: Using maya as a game editor for environment art
A useful analogy might be found in animation, they build all the sets in maya as low poly proxies they call them, they're a reference file for a high poly mesh + textures stored elsewhere. They build out everything like this, set, props and characters. Then, someone assembles them all into a single scene file, which the… -

maya 2008 cut tool is infuriating
hey guys, So my recent project I am on is using maya 2008 and I am finding whatever they did to the cut tool (split polygon) has turned it into a frustrating sack of shit. if you turn off edge snapping so you can say cut geometry based on a texture over 50% of the time when you go to end the cut, it just disappears.… -
Does anyone know how to get custom made trees in Blender working correctly in Unity Terrain Tool?
I have been having problems getting my trees I made in Blender working correctly in Unity. When I try to paint them they are lying sideways or half way under the terrain. Also I have error that says I "must use Nature/Soft Occlusion shader" but when I apply that shader on the material the material turns pink! -
Re: New Silo topology tool coming soon
Cheese: yep, it's a great addition to the toolset and fits right in with the 'do more with less' approach that silo is known for. Revamping my workflow with just that one tool made it feel very Nex-like - not better, and not quite the same, but definitely more along the lines of how I want to be able to work in Silo with… -
Using the Healing Tool a a blur/blend tool
Hey guys, I just figured out a trick in Photoshop and I thought I'd share. As we all know the blur tool's absolutely useless, and the smudge brush can be slow. I found that you can use the Healing Brush to simulate a sort of waterpaint-like blur that seems to work quite well for blending purposes. Here's a quick step by…
