cheers guys. Its an in-house editor im working with so cant get my hands dirty like i could with max script. Also we are close to the end of development so i wouldn't feel comfortable bring up these issues at this stage. Its a small team and a relaxed atmosphere so i would be fine to talk to the tools programmer or lead…
NDCV Interesting. He paints with a broad brush, because I think he is a demographer, and therefore does not weight individual's opinions, but other than some comments about sex, oddly I think your own words prove your point [ QUOTE ] But being a progressive/liberal who had a hard time making the decision to have 2 kids, I…
what are you basing the animation part of your list on? it feels very, google-ish, where you mention a very broad array of skills that are not specific to an animator, but are skills that one would expect other departments to possess. (I'm talking about AAA studios here, indies? do everything yourself, I get it - am there…

Figured it would be faster to just rebuild a rig from last project than looking for solutions.

Maybe there was a…

No you wouldn't. Would you buy meat from a…
A great way to learn more about materials is to do a bunch of material studies. Make a basic test mesh (or even a sphere) and try to recreate a variety of materials that have different surface types. One thing I like to do before I start texturing, is identify each surface type (which I break down from the highpoly stage…
I feel with really good games you just cant win because people who enjoy the series want some new content but also want to see features return, which is one of the reasons you buy another in the series. There is a back and forth about the quality of game design, that with top games is really subjective. In all the time I…
I think a lot of the edges could be a bit wider if its for a game model. Especialy bits like the trigger. From the reference i've looked at, it has quite a wide edge on the front portion of it. And while the rest of the gun might be accurate to the reference, I would personaly exagerate some of the details so the read…
