Re: Russia
Putin has no designs to start a war with the west, or use nukes. It's a threat, big nations make those to little ones all of the time. Georgia is posturing militarily and acting violently right on their border. Iraq, well over ten thousand miles away, got us to invade them (twice!) doing the same thing. I don't see why… -
Re: Contemporary "art"
So what about the 15.000 people visiting the Louvre every day? Does that mean it's full of non-art? A lot of old art was made to be imposing to everyone. I got into a discussion about contemporary art with my art teacher back in high school; I claimed that since there wasn't much effort in creating such things, it wasn't… -
Re: I spy a cake! Happy birthday milla!
It's bloody cold here - wish I was there Thanks for the birthday wishes guys! BoBo: I've kind of dropped off the art wagon lately. I never got my head around the 'state-of-the-art' processes, so I'm a bit stuck in the old school style of things. The past couple of years has been a series of very long working weeks, house… -
Re: Backup Solutions
Nope not necessary to create partitions. Most drive imaging programs (like Macrium Reflect) back up a snapshot of your drive to a single huge file, which can just be stored in any old folder you want. Macrium Reflect even lets you mount this image as a virtual drive for browsing! Really neat. For the regular data backup, I… -
Re: Battlefield 1943
played BF1943 for about 4 hours last night with some friends. Working in a squad is a lot of fun, shame random people on xblive don't have this concept where everyone is a 1 man army. Kinda wish they kept the "hold that vehicle" talk so people would wait for ya. lol Still can't fly the plane very well, but shooting down… -
Re: Tattoo design
i agree tats that are linked to things always seem like a bad idea. unless its something verry personal. in 2 years you could have a huge falling out with a moderator here and be banned for life. then every time you look at the tat you will cry. I prefer tats that are decorations and not really linked to anything besides… -
Best way to go about animating a 2d character holding a 3d object??
How best can this be done?Was discussing this with a friend the other day about combining 2d and 3d animation,preferably 2d for characters and 3d for environments and props. I am thinking u do the animation of the character grabing and holding an imaginary stuff or a placeholder of the supposed 3d object.Export animation… -
Does anyone use Sampler AI or any other image to height AI?
Each update I waste some time to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful finally and always just shrug and go away. Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details and looks same awful at sharp light angles. Surprisingly it sometimes works… -
Odd Edges in Tessellated Normal Map Bake
I've been trying to convert the Substance Skewmesh baking process from 3ds max to Maya. I'm running into one odd problem though with my test. One piece always seems to bake weird. The lines are wavy and on the other edges the seams are somewhat visible. When it is baked normally, that edge problem goes away but the bolts… -
Re: Missing packages
Yea, we use the latest version of UDK at the time of capturing the tutorials where possible but inevitably some assets that were in UDK get removed and replaced with new ones. All the old UDK installers are still available so you can always get them and then append the packages. Not ideal, but it's a good work around. The…
