Re: Please help me make my scenario better
couple quick notes: * more props * less perfectly straight lines - for example railings and banisters you can add subtle wobble * double check roughness values - the place looks decrepit but certain pieces of wood look like they were just freshly cleaned. -
Re: Environment modelling on Grid
The whole point of working on the grid is to have assets (which r mostly architecture modules) that can nicely snap and fit to each other when building the level in some game engine. It also helps to create simple visual guidelines for various dimentions, some sort of array of standartized sizes of your assets (say, 1m,… -
Re: script creation challenge. no AWESOME PRIZES
(UPDATE THE CREATED PLANES DO NOT NEED ANY SEGMENTS) scruples, and Rhjs grid planes need to be lined up with the max grid, and need to be efficient to get thefewwest planes possible to fill up an area (yes my example up top is not perfectly efficient) the planes also need to have verts every .5 meters snapped to max grid.… -
Re: Questions/confirmations for 3ds Max and Maya
Thanks for the feedback. For the infinite smoothness I was referring to, an example would be making a sphere, then zooming in really close. If this sphere is a Nurbs object, then no matter how close you zoom in, the sphere will be displayed as a smooth curved surface at render time. If this sphere is a finely triangulated… -
Re: Specular AO in PBR (specifically metalness workflow)
hmmm.. I really wish i had marmoset on my laptop so i could test stuff out while discussing it. Ive just always been kind of disappointed with SSR, since sometimes it sort of bugs out, and especially in marmoset its very low quality in the viewport (maybe thats just my settings) and the cavity is too small (less than 1cm… -
Re: Technical solutions for dealing with in-game roads
Vertex alpha is more expensive than splat mapping, because it's alpha blending. Anything with transparency is generally more expensive, especially for mobile hardware. For the transitions between road and terrain, you could use the eat3d method in McGreed's link, except not using the blend texture for details... just… -
Re: Robot concept
Ok, here is the final low-poly model of the robot with skeleton. It can't get any better than this. Im at 997 tris. I eliminated unviewable edges and faces, and got a few extra edges in where needed. This is as far as I go with the 1000k model. Now all I need to do is accurately skin it and texture it. Then I will move on… -

Re: Boss characters: your thoughts?
All the boss fights in Dead Raising. whats your favourite game boss and why? I personally love big boss fights with cleaver twists, and well established game play mechanics. The God of War boss fights are some of my favorites. What's your least favourtie game boss and why? I'm not a big fan of being tossed in the middle of… -
max: dealing w/ buggy infinitely-thin quads or n-gons?
Occasionally, while trying to deal with subD smoothing errors, I'll find that the cause is the presence of an infinitely thin quad or n-gon sitting in between verts that lie on top of one another in space, making it look like there's no intervening poly at all. Here's an example. I pulled apart the edges of this really…
