Re: What does everyone think about this aspect of game industry culture?
I've heard before that "twitter is where nuance goes to die" and though I've definitely seen some productive conversations on twitter I think that it's generally true. Social media discourse has really grown into favoring extremes, like if you go on your social media page to talk about latest Marvel movie for example, you… -
Re: [Max] Several questions concerning modeling edicate
Well..you will want AO and Normal maps on a surface that you are attempting to portray an illusion of depth on....The normal map tells whatever rendering instructions you have which direction to make each pixel of your material appear to be facing...for example the tangent space normals are all on the blue channel in order… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jansen Turk
Hey guys, so I finished with the hair and wanted to do a little breakdown of the process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

Re: Community Made MMORPG
@Bibendum Just like the banking system! @Geezus Why fizzle your dream out before you even attempt it? What's wrong with grandiose ideas that are unlikely to come true? It's kind of the American dream. If pieces of shit like FRED and Bieber can become uber popular and make millions why can't you? Are they better than you?… -
UV Straightening and its perks on LOD generation
This is a topic that has been reoccuring lately and i thought putting the info in its own thread is a good idea. I will be showcasing a method i have been using for way over a decade now, in 3dsmax. Which is to my knowledge the only tool that allows me to do this. Please correct me if i am wrong, i'd love to have this… -
[full time] 3D artist character & environment
Are you interested in revolutionizing virtual communication? Do you want to work with a cross-discipline team — made up of video game vets (ex CD Projekt Red), web stack vets, designers, 3D artists, and event producers — to help solve sophisticated technical challenges? The need for meaningful virtual communication in… -
Re: object space normal maps in 3DS max 2009
So animating an object with object space is pretty much the same as is with tanget space (leaving out the shader complexity ofcourse). Wonder why this misconception is so widespread (must be like the "triangles screw everythign up in zbrush" issue lagging on), people must have just heard about it and never actually tried… -
Re: level art Art test
Arman, Due to many people having issues with the sandbag part of our Photo Real test, we've updated/revised the test a bit. The new restrictions are listed on our website. www.bigsandwichgames.com I'm an old schooler, and the purpose of our test was to see how people could 'think' when handling extremely low poly / texture… -
Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
I have not, I will send the links to our programmers to see what they think of it. Thanks, well look into these. Not currently, this is something we may look into adding in the future. Yes this is by design, currently you need to have at least one camera in the scene otherwise it will crash. So the default camera can not… -
Re: Future of 3D modeling
what pior and eq said makes sense. all this new tech will improve things, just like it did before, but there will be no revolution here. Sculpting is pretty much perfect for creative modelling, how the data is stored (voxels or mesh) is secondary to the modelling process itself, or the tools "shaping" stuff. Imo the…
