Re: Big fat art dump - Age of Empires 3 (lots of pics)
DH, I'm pretty sure you can download a free plugin for Max6 to render normal maps in scanline renderer. It's called "GNormal". You can find it here: http://www.3dmaxer.dk/plugins.asp?r=5 -
Re: Why game studios prefer use Max instead Maya?
Yep. Max has some decent modeling tools and workflows but it's really fallen behind in terms of animation and for studios that have anything other than a bare bones animation pipeline, they are going to pick software that is more than likely to support their full pipeline in a way that works for every department not just… -
Re: Can someone explain the mid-poly baking process?
If you remove support edges you mess with normals which means your baked normal map is no longer valid. You can patch it up to an extent by transferring normals from the original mesh to the edited one but it's all a massive hack and what I would classify as a shit way to do things. Personally I avoid baking to cylinders… -
Re: Turtle Animation
Great work! Just some stuff to think about. Animating quads is murder. I love the cat rig procedural walks for animals and especially insects. The walk steps are too small giving an aged impression rather than a slow one. When we smile our cheeks puff out some. Try not to do cam cuts over 180 degrees so as not to loose the… -
Re: Thickness for clothing in "Game Ready" models
Thanks for the welcome and thanks for answering! I find that interesting. What of say a tabard / loincloth? I'm guessing it's the same process as applying a hem or just leaving it be if it isn't ever possible to look at it from the side? In my case the players (multiplayer) can get up close (essentially up to the bounding… -

cant delete sphere after transfer attribute in maya to canopy-removes normals transfered.
so i transfered attributes of the sphere to the canopy. But i cant delete the sphere cus its connected to the canopys normals now. This is not mentioned and would be really nice for some enlightenment on the subject. Since when i then select the canopy, export it to fbx, and open it inside unreal engine, it has the sphere… -
can you recommend a laptop for a hobby general 3d "artist"?
hi, i have a budget of around 1000 Euro (roughly 1000 dollars, but i think prices in Germany wehre i live are higher than the US). i am thinking about buying a laptop for my hobby 3d modelling, animation, game development. i guess i can't afford anything very professional for this price, still i think it would definitely… -
Re: Yury Taran – Senior 3D Character Artist | Portfolio & WIPs
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, really appreciate it. Good point about the overuse of grunge - I agree it can read too uniform and artificial, especially on the materials and wear patterns. I’ll definitely revisit this approach in future works and try to push more material separation and story-driven wear. Also… -
Re: Can PBR still be utilized without a proper lighting environment?
Can you elaborate on what you're trying to achieve? PBR stands for "Physically based rendering" so if you have zero light you'll have zero reflectance (ie color) of any kind. So if you want to display anything without light, you're basically not using physically based rendering. That said, you can still use the ideas and…
