Re: Basement hall [WIP]
Been working on lighting and it's been mostly trial and error. I ended up with this today... not sure if I like it. Gonna keep trying. @ctrlZ: thanks for the paintover. I agree that my scene is a bit too monochromatic and i'll try to get more color in. I absolutely want to make it more game art than a study on realism but… -
Re: WIP - lowpoly - xcom like structures
Wow, thats a very ambitious project! I am an xcom uber-fanboy so Ill definately be following this. IMO the perspective in your test (yes I realize how perliminary this is) looks a bit odd - in the xcom series the scenes were all orthographic. If you can replicate the ortho perspective it might make the scenes a liittle… -
Re: Noob 3dMax Q's, stuff I used to do in Maya
Eric: thanks for the script, it's exactly what I wanted. For my window, I realised my problem was I kept trying to do what I usually do in Maya. So instead of trying to replicate a Maya bridge, I made a long box with some divisions, added a bend modifier to bend it downward, then extruded out the legs straight down and… -
Re: How to approach modeling game asset you have no measurements for ?
It matters enough that the tiny bit of effort required to work in real world units is far outweighed by the negatives of not doing it. Things that are almost always based on real world units: Physics/Cloth/Hair etc sims Anything based around volumetrics (like atmospheric lighting) Anything distance based (like lighting)… -
Re: How to set Flood Fill to C16 as opposed to C32F
I checked an older graph of mine and copied the flood fill node from it. Here they are side by side: I can find no obvious difference in settings between the two, except that the older (bottom) node doesn't have anything inside the Instance Parameters section, while the newer (upper) node has a Safety/Speed trade-off drop… -
Re: Need Advice On Developing A Better Workflow
Thanks for asking, DireWolf. My interface was customized with short cuts a long time ago, so that not a problem I need to address. I guess I'm struggling with the design process itself about how exact a model needs to be to the reference image. After blocking out the model, I can spend hours, weeks, and even months trying… -
Re: The Valley of the Suck! (Character Art)
I second the use of clay brushes. Claytubes + Smooth/TrimDyn are what I spend a majority of time using to build forms. If I'm ever having a bit of trouble, I look at speed-sculpts of what I'm trying to replicate. 9 times out of 10, it provides insight and inspiration into the sculpting process. This may not be beneficial… -
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender
I liked the odd bits I saw while my brother ran Nickelodeon 24/7. Was the only bearable cartoon tbh. I think the problem here is that they are trying to make a cartoon, which for the most part is fairly colourful and lighthearted (although I think it gets darker towards the end), into some epic-like movie. Don't forget… -
Re: My island scene!!!!! WIP
This has good potential. I think your beauty shot up top needs to be reconsidered, you can't really see anything (I do get the idea you are going for)- or at least include a more close up. Secondly, I'm not too sure what style you're approaching, whether it's stylized or going for realistic, but I think you're not looking… -
Re: Portal 2 Gameplay Footage
I somewhat agree with this, but I think Valve was trying to make Glados seem more unique. Giving this robot a more Glados like voice could also make it seem like it was a part of Glados, just like the personality spheres, and less like a unique robot to help workers around the facility (When they were alive). Also the…
