Re: 3d character cloth workflow question
It depends. I assume you want to animate him, whipping his mini arms out with guns blazing, and have the cloak ripple aside realistically as he does so? Really difficult to do with realtime 3d game tech. Most games avoid these kind of designs because the animation work would be too time-intensive. However if you just want… -
Re: 6 years of experience with little to show, help!
Thanks, blazed, your reply is something I really needed to read. Thanks to everyone for your helpful advice.

Re: anyone hear about the alien prequel?
I've always preferred Aliens to Alien, primarily because I've seen Aliens a tonne more times and it has a good mixture of action, sci-fi, guns and comedy. Its a film I can sit down and watch at any time and be entertained. With Alien, I find that I enjoy it more and more with each viewing, because it works on a completely… -

Re: How do I render and export a PNG wireframe (grid) in 3DS MAX?
You could use a Lattice modifier on the planes to get all the edges converted to geometry. That way they'll render easily for alpha in any renderer. Scanline will at least be blazing fast. Just tweak the Lattice modifier to your liking, put a solid color self illuminative Standard material on, hit render, save as TGA to… -
Re: Creating Normal maps, Ambient Occlusion, etc.
Ideally you'd want to get your normal map and AO, along with other maps, from baking a high poly model onto a low poly model either in your 3D package or with software like xNormal since it guarantees the highest possible quality map, but if you are talking about obtaining the maps from a generic image, then I don't think… -
Re: artist & designer (what is the difference)
It seems like the definition is pretty liquid, but I think there's still some sense to made from it. When I think of designer I think of someone who looks at the game as a whole instead of from one angle. True, an artist is a designer, but a designer isn't necessarily an artist. Technical designer's work at all levels of… -
Re: Piracy...
