Re: Walk Cycle Animation test
Lot of problems here... But I think the two fundamental ones are: 1. Posing is poorly defined; nothing ties together which results in there being no clear sense of purpose to this walk. 2. No sense of weight. The hips are totally rigid. No x-trans. No y-trans. No rotation. There are also some further technical issues,… -
Re: Theoretical LOD system?
in general if you look at most algorithms that get widespread adoption in graphics it is because they cover the highest % of use cases. for instance you can do depth sorting in a variety of ways. but zbuffer is used 99.9% of the time because it is simple, efficient and works 100% of the time. its sort of a Darwinian… -
Re: Looking for help/pointers on achieving a certain style via rendering...
Hello Adam, Thants a nice technique. I would also say that the best way to accomplish this is with a compositing package, but that will imply that you are familiar with correct linear workflow and compositing packages. If you plan to achieve a turntable animation. If for stills, you can get away in photoshop. First I can… -
Re: Over time discussion cont'd
Not related to Crunch but; all this talk about expectation always confused me. Skyrim, COD, Deus Ex, and a plenty whole set of other games are pretty good examples of where it's a game-game, it doesn't have an overtly big thing going on, and infact, is pretty primitive by many standards (the copy-pasta nature of Skyrim,… -
Re: Material math recommendation!
Maths: http://www.sparknotes.com/math/ Review your maths from: Pre-Algebra. Geometry 1 Geometry 2 Geometry 3 Algebra 1 Algebra 2 And than Get in to Trig. The notes on this site are very simple so it shouldnt be a problem understanding the concepts from it. There is also a book called 3d maths which should be useful for… -
Re: Mari +Zbrush
Hi sorry for the flip "Designed for film comment" I guess I just meant that its initial focus was working with huge data sets and in a linear 16/32 bit pipeline allowing for large multi tile texturing at 4k which is beyond the remit of games I suggested Mudbox because of the baking tools and the simple but well implemented… -
Re: Crysis 2
positive: visually, the game is amazing. and the story is not bad for a video game. new suit perks are great too. neutral: the gameplay is much more linear and CoD like (regarding enemy placment and map structure). I preffered the free roaming crysis 2. bad: PC controls SUCK! (no on/off toggle zoom or crouch options?). I… -
Re: DOOM
The multiplayer alphas and betas I played were really bland and safe, but the singleplayer looks so much better. Pretty damn fast and action packed. The art is great too, I can clearly see they let the artists do what they do best. I'm not exactly in love with it. It still has character and weapon upgrades and other pseudo… -
Re: tessellation, displacement maps.
my current workflow is based around the fact that, from what i know anyway, displacement works by moving vertices. with that in mind, when it comes to baking or generating your displacement map, you need to account for the volume of vertices you're going to be going from, and to. so the limited experience i've had so far,… -
Re: I have a question about morph target in unreal engine
To really get the advantages/disadvantages of one over another you need to understand how each operates. A morph target will linearly interpolate/extrapolate between one set of vertex position(s) and another. This can be good for some kinds of animation, like facial expressions, or making sure a character's joints deform…
