Re: Plasticity Learning Exercises
Great! Another one Plasticity user :) Since it's used mostly by artists, it's better to watch tutorials for Fusion 360, if you want to understand CAD methods. Some tools are different there, but you'll see how engineers think and work. For those who want to try Plasticity, I can confrm, it's very user friendly. Also it has… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
Thank you @radiancef0rge for creating this thread and comprehensive first post, a great read that helped clear some things up for me. And @somedoggy great writeup, and thank you for the well written information, very nice discussion with loads of great resources. Even though some of it is way beyond my knowledge. -
Re: Animating women...
Vertex animation as far as I know is pretty expensive on resources. It's a great way to capture a sim like cloth but it's probably not going to be widely adopted for real time games anytime soon. Yep, I would strongly urge you to use them too. When you rotate the arm above a T-Pose you lift the clavicle which brings the… -
3D render: Donkey Ice Cream with Fruit 'n Cake!
I just had to get this out of my system. I havent done a proper 3D render with lights and stuff for a while. I did this dog and I though it could be a good project to take it a bit further. And yesterday I decided to add some walls and after a while the whole concept came to life. I added a window and then I decided to… -

Re: Using alpha planes in a scene, how do I optomize them for efficiency?
Frubes, he's using Maya2010... Don't use them. Great for realtime in certain scenarios. Piss poor for offline rendering, avoid them whenever possible unless you can cheat the shadows somehow. Straight geometry is always faster than rendering shadows that include opacity maps. Sounds like crazy talk but its true most… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
Did you only get into game dev recently? I'm 25 now and I was into texturing around the Quake 2 era. My first industry gigs (freelance and in-house) were 100% diffuse handpainted texture work. Looking back on my old stuff I think I could have made a much more awesome result if I'd been allowed to work with the tech… -
Re: [UE4] Western Recall (VR Robo Recall Mod)
Hello! The project is alive and kicking. For now all members of the team have played the game with basic blockout and default enemies, and there has been a lot of feedback for us to consider, from basic scale to general flow from gameplay itself. Some of the main guns are now in developement. We are trying them with a… -
Re: UDK vs CryEngine (latest versions)
I see..one is better off using Maya or Max for creating assets.I did find the UDK modeling tools very limiting but the no need for uvs was a good plus.Will create my assets in Maya from now on.Creating terrains in UDK is quite straight forward,or is it better to create ur terrains in Maya/3dmax? Thanks for posting the… -
Re: Weighted Normals (Mid Poly) Workflow Clarification?
In most use cases, mid poly modeled with appropriate detail will serve as both the source and target mesh, without the need for a conventional high to low poly bake workflow. In other words Substance Painter for example, enables the user to self-bake their mesh maps. Anyhow check out these comprehensive tutorials which…
