First test renders of baseplates. Too much edge wear and not enough dirt in some places. But the base is ready and it's great. Want to share one method of creating simple signs when you don't know vector graphics or don't like it. It's kinda strange and stupid, but it works. 1. Model a sign. I used Plasticity for that. It…
Hi Ace, Here are the materials setups I have been working through. http://www.antodonnell.com/udk_materials_wip.jpg Attempt 3 now allows me to blend red and green as expected. Blue still "erases" red and green when I paint. For attempts 1 and 2 I think it was the fact I was using LERPS to create my texture before adding…
lol...completely missed that part out!! This is one of the most getto commercial I've ever seen. @EricChadwick: That review is for 2008 right? The entry level programmer job starts at 100k+ a year? lol....... Well it said 57k if < 3 years at start, but it says programming there for IDsoft is worth 100k+..they didnt state…
Guys..if you could help me i would be very glorious.. i have a concept(i drew it xD, ill post it later maybe) its about the 3 spirits, then i started watching tuts about 3d sculpting in zbrush, n blender. I am absolutely a novice in the 3d creation world. But i have few knowledge(ie.the basics: user interaface, basic…
Hi First Post ever on polycount - Im Trying to learn the site so bare with me =) Im in the process of creating my own Plant that would fit into a particular world and eventually fit into my final scene (environments piece) - the purpose of this stage is to plan out different concept designs to working on at least 3 final…
1. Physics don't improve character interaction since we cannot simulate the behaviour of a living being when subjected to physics anyway. EF didn't use any environmental interaction since in Star Trek nobody but Kirk uses environmental objects to attack other people. Doom 3 demonstrates how physics don't contribute to a…
What DRM bullshit? You can have up to 3 installs at once and when you uninstall it credits that back to the serial key. All this shit about 'oh after 3 installs in a lifetime you're FUCKED' is retarded. I can't find it anywhere where its officially stated that this is the case. All I read is, "It's speculated that...",…
Yeah even this shader from Brice is an excellent mini-step forward. <3 <3 Brice <3 <3 A cube map is only accurate from a single position in space. A literally infinitesimal point. It doesn't take into account moving closer and further from lights, or their apparent size changing based on that distance. It also doesn't…
I sent Sony an email asking about the PS3 specs. They replied: Hi Sam, Thank you for writing us. The technical specifications for the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system have been released at a press conference in Los Angeles, California, in May of 2006. You can view the specifications of the PLAYSTATION(R)3…
It depends on the character design you're trying to model. With the concept art you draw exactly what you want and what the character should look like. But when it comes to modeling it, you need to do some engineering and think of how to best arrange your topology to represent the forms and flow that the design suggests.…
