Re: Rigging and animating?
The improvement from the first animation to to the last is really impressive. The lack of Inverse Kinematics in Milkshape really shows, which would allow you to easily keep the feet planted and moving along the ground even if you change the body. One problem the rig has in my opinion is that the front upper legs are far… -
Re: How to stay motivated and finish that project!
Motivation is pretty bullshit. self discipline is where 99% of most success comes from. getting to work and finishing something even if you don't feel like sitting at your computer and working is what seperates the people who get a ton of work done and hired quickly from those wasting hours of time searching for constant… -
Re: Portfolio pieces: practical vs memorable
Two words: penis tank, in no particular order. Edit: Seriously, I was thinking about this this morning. It's really up to you how you start your portfolio, whether it be with traditional assets or more "creative" ones, whatever that may be. Pick the one you most enjoy, but push yourself over time in the other direction. If… -
Re: Unreal Tournament 2007 first video
I'm unsure what you mean by trickery. Most of the wow factor in these vids is just lighting; specifically, the movement of light from explosions or just regular lights is what reveals the depth of angles within the normal map on the models. Theres no smoke and mirrors beyond the fact that Normal maps are millions of polys… -
Re: The Human Form - Male
if you really wonna figuer the figuer (har har), take these renders you posted, and try and draw the skeleton over them. that way you'll see exactly where you are wrong, and what information you are missing. once you draw the skeleton, put your muscles masses over the bones, and youll get your proxy model. copying a flat… -
Re: Art Test Submission Crits/Praise Wanted :)
Bronco: The thing with the pants is, They are not wrinkled army fatigues or denim material, im my mind they are like wool slacks. I was looking at pictures on the web and when you have a pair of wool slacks on, there are hardly any wrinkles save the pleats. I know im tempted to put more wrinkles in, but would'nt that give… -
Re: Creating a modular bending tunnel for UT
The wall would snap to the sub grid. Say 75 not 100. Pivots stay on the major grid lines at 100. If you want to keep your straight wall sections snapped to the major grid lines and you want a rounded corner, you extend your corner to include a straight section of the hallway in both directions. Then move the wall into 75… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
I can understand what you're saying about the textures and the screen shots really helped. I think I came into this game knowing that it wasn't going to push the graphics like Doom3 so I didn't try to make the comparison. The guys at iD have always been the ones to push the technology and Valve became demi gods because of… -
Re: Gears2 Environment Art
Thanks folks. The Snake was modelled straight in max, zbrushed, reimported, crunched and then path deformed into position, the idea being I could reuse it again later. I modelled between 8 and 12 half bricks in a previous brickwall piece and then reused those in the arch piece. As they were all on the grid it was easy to… -
Re: Concept character: Circus performer
Thanks @YairMorr Yeah, I really wanted to push the pose more, particularly the arch of the back. The Tom and Jerry references are great to highlight how to push poses better and much appreciated :) I wish I could learn the skill to rig characters to make posing my sculpts a much better/faster process with better results.…
