Re: Digitaltutors, is it worth it?
Comparing this to a "traditional" type education, saying you pour your heart, soul, and mind into your work... 216 a year is a steal. You can go from complete newb status to creating full blown, game ready art in less than a year at a junior level. Say you went through university, you are looking at like 10grand worth… -
Re: Maya 2009 Marking menus
Well, there's another way to fix it. A lot of Maya's internal commands and menu's are in there as .mel files- for that marking menu specifically it's in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya\Scripts\other if you're on osx, you need to ctrl-click the application and choose 'show package contents' to get to the goods. So what… -
Re: Whatisicarus.com
Ken Levine is a smart guy whom I admire quite a lot, hence I will give them a benefit of doubt this time. I'm not too happy with calling it Bioshock either, but if the connection lies merely in gameplay mechanics and major themes then so be it. I would prefer this kind of "sequel" that shares no narrative connection,… -
Re: [WIP] Steampunk Inspired Flamethrower
While texture will go a long way towards making the gun itself look steampunk, it's missing the 1890s riveted feel that the boiler has. It also feels very simple; Steampunk weapons have a tendency to be somewhat complex. Have you done much research into steampunk weapons? If not, you should; a great deal of designing… -

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
Not that I disagree, but something I learned a LONG time ago. Back when I was working on those old Tony Hawk games, I asked the president, why not give us 2 years to make a TH game? We could polish thing to a more unexpected level, over-deliver on expectations, put out WAY more content. His answer was simply this. "2 Tony… -

Re: Texture Leveling
sprunghunt: Interesting. Though the point about Photoshop giving values in gamma space is confusing. My version appears to give RGB127 as mid gray and not RGB186. I tried copying their example images into photoshop to see if I could replicate their results. The second image doesn't seem to give a value of 0.08 at all (even… -
Re: Maya ao !! :@
What I do is make sure my high poly models have UVs (even auto UVs from zbrush), decimate the meshes and take them all into maya. In the hypershade make a surface shader, then in mental ray materials, go to texture and get a mib_amb_occlusion node. Plug that into the default slot of the surface shader. In the settinngs for… -
Re: 3DS 9: Multiple MatID's per face?
You can also use a composite map in the diffuse slot to mix a bunch of different maps. In a standard material, in the diffuse slot instead of putting your bitmap (.tga, .png, .jpg ect...) but a composite map. Then create new layers, loading your bitmaps into the left slot, and masks into the right slot. You can set the…
