A duh moment: Theres always a new release of Super Art Maker Pro or whatever other software game studios use in order to make games. The new tools speed up the work flow and optimize files and balance your check book and blah blah blah, but ultimately it is up to the artists to use the tools in an effective manner.…
Thank you guys for the comments. low odor - I added the hem-line (diffuse only, didn´t want to mess with the hipoly and re-project normals). I also wanted to add the patches on the knees when I was working on the hipoly already, but the local symmetry in ZBrush 4.0 kinda failed me so I didn´t want to mess with it (mental…
So this is still happening. Just busy times. I've managed to finish the retopology. Which was a mess and has resulted in a weird mesh. ~28k tris and Im not going to trim it more though I surely could. Enough already! (Unless I've done something really stupid or inefficient somewhere.) UV-map: I separated the hair and…
It's pretty much the same in the UK. Generally, every employee must be give the following statutory paid notice (at their normal weekly rate) if they lose their job, as a minimum requirement. Employers are able to give above this your the contract says so, but no less. * one week if you have been employed between 1 month -…
But I thought they only use it for authoring? It still ends up being down sampled to 8 bit by the RC upon export with Crytiff, right? I mean, the presentation even shows their Normal map compression side by side with the ground truth 16bit normals: From what I read, 3dc will compress the texture's better if you give a…
Here ya go. Nothing fancy. If the scene is saved, it creates a folder called Batch_Exports and exports it there. If the scene is not saved, it prompts for a directory to save in. Ran some basic tests on it and worked so let me know if something bugs out for you. Also this is Python code btw as a headsup import maya.cmds as…

[ QUOTE ] When I mention that my parents are the ones who introduced me to music like Cake, Beck, The Offspring, he's just blown away because that's the kind of music his parents usually tried to prevent him from listening to. I guess it is kind of weird to most people. [/ QUOTE ] My childhood was more or les stereotypical…
I think its an interesting idea to suggest that Alien was what began to create the image of scifi being dirty, heavy and 'bolty', but wasnt Alien and Aliens all set in Industrial plants and ships? If you were to look at the beginning of Aliens the interior of the space station has smooth shapes, and relies heavily on white…
Thanks that is very helpfull information :) @EarthQuake 1. Well an AT-ST would be around 28 ft so it will be a large in game model compared to the player. 2. I have set myself a budget of 10.000 Triangles becouse I wanted to it to be an efficient in game model and a good portfoilio piece. Should I go higher then this ? 3.…
