Re: Breaking into the Industry: Selling a Game Doc
core gameplay should be fun, story, art-style etc.. are all after the fact. If it isn't fun with stick-figures then it won't be fun with photo-realstic characters, a dramatic plot and epic music. -
Re: Help! Green Normal Map Part is Shading Black!
@rollin here's the screenshot. I know that for some reason it does not align perfectly (it was a zbrush export from subdivisions, they should both have the same pivot i believe), but, the problem with the green lines / black shading occurs on almost all sides with beveled edges, even if the model is slightly inwards, or… -
Re: [WIP] 3DS MAX Dodge Charger R/T. Seeking help
Perhaps having the geometry intersect is the way to go. On the car's main body door frame area you could model a cavity for the door's outer panel to fit into when it pivots. Or Maybe pull the frame out a little bit and push the bulky part of the door forward a little bit. Or use longer hinges. It's probably ok to fudge… -
Re: How to mirror my actions to all parts of same shape.
In my experience, weapons with different attachments are often done as separate models, each with their own textures. If you can plan it all out, then yes it's better to use one sheet for all parts, but some game engines can collapse those dynamically (go programmers!). Then the weapon is set up in the game editor with… -
Re: Lots of 'LOD Elements' for trees
I've checked my Outliner and there was only 20 or so total entries. I went through and removed any thing that didn't exist. There were a lot of objects that weren't there and had a random pivot point. I cleaned out the outliner, deleted my history again for my mesh, and reimported the FBX. Same problem. I've tried… -
Re: Personal Work
Looking awesome man! Love your stuff :D I have to ask, with the plants and such it looks like the stems are separate meshes from the leaves, what did the animation/dynamics department do for the plants when it comes to handling every leaf and stem to get the proper pivot points? I know you probably aren't allowed to tell… -
Re: [WIP] A Gentleman's Chair
Some of the WIP screenshots over time: Getting the scale right in maya. 1 unit equals 5cm so the chair was roughly 180cm high and 60cm wide. I used 5cm units since maya places pivots in the center of newly created objects, and when grid snapping to the grid line it makes it a little easier to enlarge to even chunks of… -
Re: Texturing a house and UVs - What approach to take
Unique uvs/textures on an asset of this scale is not going to be pretty. Atlasing, tiling textures, and multiple shaders are probably the best options. Personally, I'd break the asset into sections and uniquely UV each one, whilst trying to re-use textures where I could. So you could break the roof into upper and lower,… -
Re: 3ds max skin mirror plane issue
Ok so update. I did successfully do what you said and it did fix the problem. Theres just one issue. When I reset xform it rotates my body 90 degrees forward at a certain pivot point around waist level. (My hands feet and head all stay because they arent actually attached to the body. Which when I started I thought was a…
