Thanks for the advice and links guys. I'm thinking that my best course of action would be to do a sky box with a cube map and to tessellate the box into a sphere? That way I could have a 360 degree sky sphere? Not sure if that's the best option, but the resources of this mod project are fairly limited, and the engine is…
madmuffin- Yeah the concept i was working from was very weak in details and only a front concept shot so a lot of the details are still being worked out. Many of the small high frequency detail ( scratches, mud, etc) are going to be added in through the textures on the LP. As for the turret If you look in the back that…
Thanks for the feedback Artstream It's actually 5x 2k maps, I've just edited it. You're 100% right about the weapon, I'll adjust that when it comes to texturing. As for map sizes I'll agree if you're talking about realtime environments on consoles like the PS3/360, but in terms of current/next gen (PC/PS4/XBone) it's not…
You can also use PhotoShop Bridge > Output > Web Gallery Or you can do it the oldschool way, Photoshop > File > Automate > Web gallery. If you have CS4 or 5 you'll need to download and install the additional plug-ins to get those options that where in older versions normally. CS4 additional plug-ins…
Made my first 360 HDR Pano following the tut. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsvZ7VHGZVA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsvZ7VHGZVA[/ame] And a still image: The cubemap is my office. I didn't have a tripod available, so I just used exposure bracketing and burst photography to get away with doing it by hand. After…
Hey thanks for the nice comments man! I was starting to be afraid my thread was going to look like an echo chamber. The legs are definitely going to get more love in the coming days. I agree with the legs. I was actually taking on a very interesting robot design (seen in the video) that gives the robot arms a complete 360…
it's depend on what kind of hole you're trying to make if you just need a bunch of holes in a cylinder, then I guess the easiest way is make a plane with holes and bend it 360 degree ( you could subdivide it once for a smoother result ) edit: oop! a bit too late but I think it'll still help, and your shape is not a…
How the hell is a 3D model, with loaded textures and mesh data, that can be very easily extracted through a simple shell script (that browsers like FF and Chrome have already, if you look hard enough) and imported via a script for Max or Maya = to still renders or flash 360 spins? You clearly have never been in the circles…
Thanks for taking the time man! Took your advice for the helmet. Re modelled using geosphere and cut that from 360 to 122. Then made all of the tubes 4 sided. Took the whole thing from 1100 to 800 I hadn't thought to adjust the anatomy just by changing the low poly, I assumed I'd need to go back to the sculpt so I'll give…
If you can wait a little while, I would expect clones to come out from Lenovo, Dell, etc. As for the price, it's not that bad if you factor in how much it costs vs how much you use it: 2 hours a day x 365 days a year = 730 hours. Divide the cost by that $800/730 and you are looking at about $1.10 per day if you use it for…
