Ya, after some investigating I found that what I wanted wasn't possible without some kinda fake setup. I'll try messing around with projections (thanks Eric). Hopefully get something working, bummer thing is if I go that route (blocking the window from casting light through it, but have a projector cast across the room) I…
To add to what Eric has said - which is a phenomenon as old as 3D programs themselves - the best thing you could do is to try them all and see which suits you best. Yes, Max/Maya are industry standard and entrenched in existing pipelines, but that may change over the next few years as new startup shops adopt Blender/Modo…
Why are people so opposed to modding the code for games but art-based mods or things made in an editor (first or third party) kosher? Though I do agree with what Eric says about the legality of it; disseminating proprietary info is a tricky one. I don't quite get Chimp's mention that it's disrespectful as a blanket…
It's my understanding (I could be wrong) that alpha blend is is cheaper than alpha test. I believe it's because there is no native hardware support for alpha test. That's what the graphics guys tell me ;) . It does seem a bit counter intuitive, I admit. Ultimately, I think it depends on the type of game you're making and…
I think I'm right in saying inherited non-uniform scale could cause what Eric's describing as well (really can't be bothered to check atm) However, I'm not sure this is what he's talking about OP - are you in local coordinate space? cos that puts the gizmo in the space of the selected subobject which isn't always logical -…
There are no dick comments...only constructive whatever comments you receive always will make you think about things later if not immediately....the character is based on a concepts that we done by myself and by my friend Eric Dolphin (graduating game artist look him up) ill post the modelsheet again soon after i get it…
Yep, it gets used all the time, especially in UDK. This was an example I found on the web, so ignore the writing and take notice of the pink box. It's the 0-1 bounding box space. The UV editor background has been set to display the tiling texture. With a light map you don't nessesarily need to create a secondary UV channel…
Hey, Eric Dinoware here! :) Let me introduce you the trailer of my game. This project is being developed based on the best-selling novels World of Valdira, created by Dem Mikhailov with his participation in the project. It's a single-player RPG game in which the main emphasis is on the plot. This is the story beginning of…
hello, i'm having trouble downloading/loading images when i'm on my web browser (chrome/firefox). 80% of the time images load fine, but the rest of the time i get images that look like this (broken image icon) (weird noise) im also having trouble downloading big files (for example i couldn't download the recent quixel…
