Re: Fellow Environment artists? Is Zbrush/Mudbox really worth the effort?
Well as an update i`ve been spending the last week working on a game project and trying to do things with Maya transfer maps ,Mudbox and xnormal with mixed results. Pulling my hair out most of the time with both autodesk packages when trying to export normal maps. I moved onto one particular game object and it was driving… -
Re: Should I go to Max?
As long as you know the "industry standard" software, it doesn't matter what you use on your own. There are plenty of Modo artist that are proficient in either Max or Maya. It can get you employed or can be used at work... and the nice thing about Modo is depending on the location you can just bring the license along with… -
Re: Best Program for a Beginner and Advice?
1. You have a favorite program, but not a best program. It's like saying you have a favorite shirt, but you don't have a best shirt. Like Shiniku said, 3ds max is a good choice. I prefer Maya personally but all the Autodesk programs are very user and beginner friendly. 2. This is because of experience. No matter what… -
Re: crippling problem in vista 64
I dont think this is a power issue if you have a 750w PSU. I have a 260 which has similar, but I suppose less power requirements... I doubt there is much difference. I run Vista 64 and have "no problems". You may want to look into the Aero problems. the Aero theme has been fucking with multiple 3d apps and in fact,… -
Re: Digital Video Recording, External Solution
I've used S-video out to a DV cam to record, and it isn't pretty. You get a low 720x480 resolution, the noisiness of DV compression, interlacing, and bad edges. So your recompression sucks because the source is already heavily compressed, you have to knock out the interlacing which eats up small UI text which is already… -
Re: does anyone know how i can put my max looking like
phew... well yes, that shelf was "the shit" in magma/R3 back in the day. i love it, too, but autodesk disabled it by default around R6 for "performance reasons" afair. so now, every upgrade is a pain. i usually manage to do it by copying over my old settings files from a R4/5 install and hacking those. the functionality is… -
Re: buying old version of lightwave/cinema 4d...
C4D rules the motion graphics department, has plenty of plugins and a great renderer. Lightwave is still used a lot, but mainly in commercials/films. It's also a great modeler and renderer, but the animation tools aren't that great from what i hear. There also re-writing Lightwave, so if you buy it, you may be able to… -
Re: Game Developer's Conference 2007 (GDC)
I went for the past 2 years (got free passes) and had a damn blast. Got completely wasted at the Autodesk party. Met poops for the first time. Hung out with Sean Miller and Mike Brown from High Moon into the wee hours of the day at a hookah bar. Hung out with the massive black guys. Android is amazing. Got a free space… -
Re: Workshop #03 - Dn2
looking good, couple of small crits though: you've got the right idea by bashing up the model and making it look used but imo it looks a little artificial. the ends, which i would have assumed would have taken the most damage are only ever so slightly rounded and the large dents in the sides look to have been made almost… -
Re: Weird edges when using decimated model as high poly for baking
Hi there, So this is important even for highpoly / decimated highpoly model? What do you mean by "is this important" ? Sure enough you want to fix your issue, there's nothing "important" or "not important" about all this ... Regarding your tests : I'd say that your methodology is off, because nothing guarantees that what…
