Is there an age limit to get into the industry?
Hey, first off, I am sorry if there is a thread like this floating around already. I tried to search for it but the forum thought the search strings were too small (old, for instance). I'm sure a few of you may ask location or desired position so I'll leave that here in case it helps with anyone's answer. I'm in Dallas so… -
Re: Jurassic World
Jurassic Park has been around for too long and has its character and set designs firmly cemented after several films, games, and toy-lines (which will probably get recycled to a certain extent). It would be neat to see a new take on dinosaurs, but I'd wager a bet that more movie goers would want to see the ones they grew… -
Re: Building Houses - a few questions.
A blank canvas is big... really big and its easy to screw up your scale. Since you really didn't say what program(s) you're using it makes it hard to be specific about setting up scale... I'm going to guess you are a student and you're learning Maya? Or are you going to build everything in UnrealEd? At work we use max for… -
Re: 3d max - how can I see a lightmap with diffuse map?
- In your material click on the diffuse channel, change it to composite map this does not mean change your material to composite. Its completely different, just change the diffuse map channel to composite map. - Then load both of your maps into the slots, make sure they're set to the proper UV channels and set their… -
Re: Answered: First Time Using DDO and there's got to be an easier workflow
Hey, Victor! You can't transfer nDo to dDo seamlessly - you'll have to run the dDo project creator, load your mesh, input maps, and then create your project. Make sure your resolution matches the resolution of the input files. Auto will do this for you. :smile: What are you referring to by "manual settings"? This is… -
Classes at The Art Institute of Dallas
Hey, just wanted to let people know that I will be teaching an advanced class on characters at the Art Institute of Dallas this upcoming semeseter. I have asked that any alumni in the Dallas area that have not yet found jobs within our industry could partake in the class, and they were kind enough to allow it. Classes are… -
Re: What's the best way to get the normal/AO and Spec maps for a diffuse texture?
Yes and no. You can use something like nDo for creating normal map details in 2D: http://quixel.se/dev/ndo However, a normal map isn't simply detail. Its a complex set of math that uses the normals from the high poly to replace the low poly's mesh normals. You'll never be able to paint a normal map to the same accuracy,… -
Re: Danny the Dog/ Unleashed. Jet Li done right
Hrmm, I thouhgt the pacing was fine. Sure, I wanted more fight scenes, but I felt that the middle part of the film was needed to show Jet's struggle with learning to be human again. I will agree with the pit fighting though. As soon as I saw the spiked hair, the fishnet costumes, and the skateboarding pads the contestants… -
Re: What is the consensus on 3DConnexion hardware?
My spacemouse has made a fantastic ornament for about 15 years now. It comes off the shelf every year or so and I try to get it working with software I use then goes back on the shelf I really like them and if you use software that has driver support and you do something that takes advantage of the hardware (not modelling… -
Re: The Jetsons's Spacecraft
Obviously use this if you haven't since "bumpiness" has been brought up. //assuming you are already just worth mentioning again. Things to mention, if you are making it your own that is a cool challenge. If you are replicating it, yes indeed you would need every occurrence of the vehicle. When i tried to use references…
