Hahah, I dunno! Always good to know what's out there already. Although coding for learning's sake is a good thing too. FWIW, I made screengrabs of those two tools, so you can see what they do.
for nearly 6k tris you have too little smoothness in the silohette and alot of wasted edgeloops. the two tail sections are the worst culprits. remove alot of the horizontal loops and i reakon youd get the same shape for half the polys.
dude, I just mailed mine at the ups store today too!! before the door closed behind me the guy shouts.. we got a dead 360 here, emergency!!! He said it should be a week or two weeks for me.
ive had like one crasch in two weeks! wooop! max9 is tha shit ^_^ even tho the new powerbooleans isnt as neat as they were promised to be...for example they mess up uv cordinates it seems, atleast the ones not in channel 1..
I really think you made it too dark, you couldve had a lot more contrast if you went brighter with your highlights. That said this is definitely higher quality painting than the previous two iterations, good luck.
It will be fine then - the problem is only if two bones share exact x,y & z values. You have the second influence set as label - I wonder if that's an issue? What if you set it to none? Or try some of the other options in there too.
I've been playing around a little bit with lighting and finishing some of the small props. Also, i've decided to change the design of two of them so i'm excited to see how will look! I added some dust and leaks decals too.
got my first real games in tonight. fuuuck this game is fun with a buddy or two. some of the operative's special abilities are way too good to pass up, particularly the enemy comms hack. one more level and I'll have the turret hack. :]
weisheng - ahahah thanks man. i really want too. just a lack of knowledge hit me with those pieces, prob will go back when i learn a thing or two :) heboltz3 - thanks for the liking it man. more to come! another study
You can never, ever, have a PC too powerful for 3D. In two years time your machine will be considered to be just barely fast enough. In this case your only limiting factor should be how much you can afford to spend.
