Re: MP-443 Grach
Thanks for the tips, made some small adjustments mainly to the grip, I added some more variation but I don't want to overdo it. Still there are some things left to do. Before: http://i.imgur.com/hhWFrai.png After: http://i.imgur.com/IOvZqsD.png -
Re: Pacific Rim
Technically Steele was first.. Real Steel was adapted to be a movie from the 1963 episode of The Twilight Zone also based on Richard Matheson's short story called Steel. And I'll just leave this here.. I'll have to try and leave my brain at the door as the unbelievable physics issues are just outstanding. (spoilers here… -
Re: Imagine being a popular Game Creator/Designer
You know, I would think John Romero would have a WEALTH of stories on this topic. I have to imagine he's had a lot of time to reflect on his Doom and Ion Storm. He definitely seems to be a different man today than from what I've read from "Masters of Doom." I wonder if he's given interviews about that. -
Re: Shrink Wrapping (3ds Max)?
Since starting to learn maya, I really miss my wrapit! Wrapit lets you switch on 'auto-wrap' mode, which projects all your unlocked low verts onto the reference meshes ion real time. You can lock/unclock verts as you fix areas and tweak them to your liking. It works with all normal max tools (including the graphite tools… -
Re: SSD?
If your budget allows, you should look into PCI SSDs. They basically plug straight into your mobo so you don't have the SATA bottleneck. Their speeds are insane too, some surpassing 1000mb/s read/write. EG http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120gb-ocz-revodrive-3-25nm-mlc-flash-x4-slot-pci-e-read-975mb-s-write-875mb-s-120k-iops -
Re: Film/cinematic modeling
We have scripts that automatically put every uv shell at the same uv texel density. You can also do this manually in maya be applying a checker texture to all your objects and then manually scaling each shell until the size of the checkers match. (but this is a very time consuming way to do it if you have a large asset.… -
Re: My VFX art and breakdowns
The lignering particles look a bit weird. I'm guessing they are supposed to be snow but I'm not sure that it works all that well. If you're going for more of an ice crystal feel then you need to make them twinkle a bit and maybe have more crystaline shapes, sharper edges. For your ion laser thing, have you thought about… -
Re: How do you choose what path to take?
I have done all of what I said so my feelings towards those are based on experience. I enjoy doing all of them not because Its for a game. I enjoy them because I find satisfaction in them. I wouldn't mind modelling for games, movies, commercials or whatever. Same with concept art. But anyways for the time being I am going… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
I'll chime in and say dude don't give up. A lot of people around here know my situation and what I've been through but I'll share it with you because maybe it will help. In the past 12-15 months I have been in and out of work. First getting layed off at Raven and then leaving / getting layed off at Budcat in July (before… -
