Detailed Character Sprites and Their Colours
Hey Guys, Do any of you have experience in creating prerendered sprites for 2d engines? I have experience creating them for mobile devices using VERY small palettes to swap colours and online games that didn't really require palette swapping....however in this case my mind is drawing a blank. My question is how am I… -
Expert opinions - 3D Max - Skin vs Physique?
Hi All Having recently purchased a book by two of the guys from Panzar Studios (3DS Max 6 Animation With Character Studio 4 And Plug-ins), I came across htis snippet from the start of chapter 5 : In the latest version of character studio, Physique has more features than Skin, but they are more effective only on models with… -
Re: Do 3D weapons generally contain a bullet in their texture maps?
Not sure what that says that sprunghunt didn't already say. Since you brought it up though I can explain my earlier post. Batching is good because it collects similar materials into batches and renders them together in order to minimise state changes on the GPU (which are bad because they are wasteful).A material in this… -
Re: How about them Wikileaks, eh?
His agenda is to make governments acountable for illegal actions that would otherwise go unknown. however it's true that wikileaks holds a much stronger (bordering on extreme) stance on this than alot of people would agree with. In the past they have been under criticism for releasing documents that pertained to then… -
Re: Alligator Shaman
Since he's standing up as a biped, I think some adjustments to his proportions would help. Maybe thicken the legs a bit, and have him stand up more straight to give him a feeling of more intelligence instead of just a regular gator that is trying to stand up on its hind legs. From front view, that eyes are too far apart.… -
Re: [Maxscript] How to get Selection count
Sorry for resurecting this old thread, but I'm stuck with a similar problem: I need Max to return the number of Elements/SubObjects (4 in this test case). I tried getOpenEdges and converting these to FaceSelections and reading those but I'm stuck now comparing these to get the number of Elements. Am I on the right track… -
Re: "Why the end of the $60 video game is near"
But people don't wait 2-3 months most of the time (which is something I never understood), and publishers almost always 'rake' in the number of the game in the first week or two if it was 'good' or a 'bad' deal for the publishers, I think so far, only a couple of companies have really said "Oh, you know what, we sold about… -
Re: First portfolio website, critique and advice wanted
@tahakitan The number of times i've seen other people show art done by other people must number in the 100s, from work done in group school projects, work done by others while developing a game or borrowing models from others like im doing. Are you saying its okay for other people to do that but not me? In the case of the… -
Re: Padding bleeding onto uvs
Oh ok that makes more sense. Yeah just mask the padding or do the padding all at once in post with the photoshop filter. If you're adding in extra elements the photoshop filter is probably best. There is no magic ratio of spacing to padding, this isn't really how it works. The problem is not a particular amount of spacing… -
Re: Expanding my Hard-Surface arsenal
I smiled at the lack of a polycount at the Zbrush model. It's a useless number anyways. The only thing that's interesting to me is that you did make it entirely in Zbrush. About the gun, I like it. It feels it could fit in a game like Brink, though there are some parts that to me personally feel inconsistent. I don't…
