Re: Blender to 3DSMAX : A few questions
2 - not a fix perhaps, but a help: the cut tool has two slightly different cursor icons depending on how it is cutting. 3 - [ctrl]+[c] creates a camera in the scene. You can then set any viewport to render from that camera. Using MMB will still move it around, but then you can [ctrl]+[z]. Maybe freeze/hide the camera or… -
Re: New budget system
Depends on the card? You're sort of missing the point here though, SLI has a lot of drawbacks, and basically no benefits for game dev. If all he wants to do is play games its a different story perhaps. In addition to that, the card he's buying is quite fast, and will likely last 3-4 years away. Its not like he's using a… -
Re: 40-hour work week
Which is a good question, one of my teachers told me that it's a good idea to hand in your work atleast 3 days before it due, incase something happens or changes are needed, they can be done with a 3 day gain, which apparently is a holy-grail in the game industry, or so I was told, so you don't bring down the whole team or… -
Re: Cintiq Alternatives (2015)
i see you were talking about the feel of the surface, thought it was the overall appearance. :) ok, well i have no experience with bamboo's at all so far but have used intuos 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and in my opinion the surface changed towards more friction over time, perhaps peaking with the 4? not that i can confirm that… -
Re: Moon boot chickadee - SDK inside!
Ok, my model has a name now. I've decided to call her Kaie. It's a Celtic name and I think it's very suitable for a game character, because it means "combat". I've also released a SDK - you can get Kaie_SDK.zip here: http://members.lycos.co.uk/nucleartes/Kaiesdk.html Note that there are two versions of my model in the SDK:… -
Re: Shoes

If you treat these shoes… -
Re: Texturing Lines on a Large Paved Area
I'm not sure I understand what the difference between method 1 (decals) and 3 (polygons) is? If you're going to be close, and it's not something simple, like a tiling line, use decals (polygons for the lines). Give them a chipped paint alpha, and lay them out however you like. Alternate methods I can think of: 1) 1 giant… -
Re: Iron Man (big dl)
If you were going for Doom 3 I'd suggest making a 2k version and rendering this one to the normalmap, add little details either by painting and overlaying or by using Pior's (I think it was Pior who did this first) method of modeling the details into a flat plane and overlaying them. The concept art makes him look like… -
Re: Axioms of Hard Surface Modeling?
I have a small set of rules I've developed privately that nobody uses but me PECS: A rubric for assessing the quality of a highpoly hardsurface model. PECS stands for Proportions, Edges, Construction, Shading. For a given model, each PECS component is scored from 1-5. The final PECS score is the sum of every component… -
Re: Used Games
I disagree. There is a very clear economic reason why used games sales create a major problem for the industry. It's for that very reason that a tourist site or a movie theater does not allow visitors to resell their tickets to others once they leave. The following three factors are at play: 1. Used copies are virtually…
