Re: 3dsMaX: How to resize bones and mesh+skin modifier w/out problems
I'm totally late to this party but I'll toss in my 2 cents. I've run into this a few times and what I do (which you probably haven't done and probably want to do in the future) is to place the pivot point for all of the meshes at the point that the biped scales from (the frozen footstep node between the bipeds feet). That… -
Re: Wasteland 2 crowdsourced experiment
Having thought a bit more about this, I'm convinced that this is even worse than traditional spec work. Normally in spec work the buyer chooses his favorite and then pays only them, leaving everyone else unpaid, but the one person that does get paid presumably gets paid a reasonable amount. In this case however, even the… -
Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
I really don't get why people hate on ASUS. I've used their mainboards in every system but one (a gigabyte board) and had excellent performance with ASUS that never failed and I typically leave my machine on all the time and do some pretty demanding things on it. Most people that hate on ASUS isn't because of any personal… -
Re: Walther p22 - WIP
Cool to see another p22 :) Looking great so far. And good technical modeling, Especially on the saftey cutout on the slide. Having done this gun, I know that was a bitch :D Assuming you didn't use floats ;) All my 2 cents for what they may be worth. 1. Edge consistency is a bit strange on this piece. The fore sight has… -
Re: Underworld (collaboration)
PeterK, the images I posted show the wires overtop of the textures. Is that what you meant? Thanks for the comments :P Vig, I tried to keep the detail even all the way across the scene. I had one angle in mine for a final render but wanted to be able to muck about within the scene to find another shot or two to use for… -
Re: [Portfolio] - David O'Brien, Environment/Prop Artist
I think you've got some pretty decent work overall. I feel the presentation is kind of bringing it down a little, for reasons mentioned above. Maybe spend some time checking out other artists websites and see how they approach presenting their work as effeciently or aesthetically pleasing as possible. I think another good… -
Re: 3ds max unwraping resources?
It's not that Max's uvs tools are bad it's that they, autodesk, just drop the ball the pisses me off. They have acutally made it slower to work with the unwrap modifier. Pelt vs crazybutchers script which has been around since version 5, a free script is more useful and quicker than their jazzy piece of crap Pelt. You… -
Re: My swing at game music: critique encouraged
Nice, an original pimp. Like Slum said, these do have the Fruit Loops sound to them since you used some a number of unedited samples. I'm no musician, but I'll give you my thoughts. blah15 - This one sounds a bit like a remix of the tetris theme song about a minute in. The piano set against the heavy guitar (or whatever… -
Re: Hadley's Hope (Aliens Based UT Map)
It looks pretty nice, however there is definitely room for improvement. First of all the layout seems really dull, I mean it's essentially just a box with a smaller box inside of it. I think you should consider adding one or two unique siderooms (preferably asymmetrical ones on either side of the square) to break it up a… -
Re: Tesla gun PBR
I think you might be able to push the whole "Tesla" part of the design a bit more. As of right now I think it's kind of hard to tell that is some kind of tesla gun without knowing the title of it first. While I do enjoy the simplicity of the design with the rather nice metal flourish you have going on, it feels a bit empty…
