Thank you, Obscura. Yes, this method seems working but again it ends up with reseting my normals and editing them again.To be honest did't do that and left my model how it is. By the way here it is all textured: Don't think that I'm gonna do something else with this so I can say that it is my fisrt serious model. The major…
Glad to see this pop up again aha. I have another 40 or so days till my final hand-in date for my three tier research paper, project and assets. I've actually been creating a short three challenge survival game in Udk based around the same premise of horror and immersion. I highly recommend you look into these areas for…
Yeah so true. I'm back to using 3dsmax again at work and I fking loath that program. What a truely horrendous uncreative workflow backwards program. The only reason it's being used is because people are so used to it, but it's time for a serious update altogether. maya isn't even much better. Softimage was the last time I…
Sure thing! Rewrite it for your own needs, i hope it helps others too! What it does is: - set all VISIBLE subtools to highest subdivision lvl - bake all layers per subtool - polypaint from polygroup -message out how many subtools affected p.s.: i decided that decimation must be done by hand per subtool...so i did not…
I agree on the Digital Tutors comment, but not from a noob stand point per say. Just the fact that they went through a few separate ways to do things I thought was a good thing. If only to point me in the right direction in the UI and basic software functionality that then helped me to experiment more easily on my own.…
If you compare it with most of the rest of the world, it is ;) But do I know the joys of living in London... stayed there for a while. Was cool but absurdly expensive when it came to rent. I haven't come across a more expensive place for renting... maybe Silicon Valley, NYC? I would still consider London in the future, I…
Seems like this thread turned into a crunch themed thread. Which I guess is unavoidable. To the OP: you're 15. There is a decent chance you'll completely change what you want to do by the time you're 20. But that's what's great about being so young. Go grab Maya from Autodesk, download UDK, and start following a tutorial.…
I think the rendering is cool with interesting architecture. Be keen to see what this ends up being. Here are some suggestions to make it better: Judging from the water-levels. It looks like your building just crashed into the ocean just as the shot was taken or a big wave is about to hit, I think you'd wanna keep the…
Ha, silly EQ read that quote again. I end with the first thing that you start with. As in you don't need to count past 4. If it's pointless for how you need to describe it, then calling it an ngon is fine. If you need to be more descriptive then use something else like 20-gon, 20 sided polygon or icosagon if you're a…
Techically, Game Newell IS one of those rich investors. The difference is that he opted to build and manage his company himself instead of investing in someone else. He saw an opportunity in an industry that interested him, and he chose to go for it. Now he effectively owns and drives the PC gaming industry. Valve had the…
