Re: (WIP) Metroid - Brinstar Environment
Are you planning on making the blocks look a bit more organic? Right now everything looks very cube-y and I'd love to see this pushed more towards undulating almost intestinal shapes. I'm having a hard time reading the scene because of the lack of depth in lighting/fog/atmospherics. I think you need to sepperate the floor… -
Re: Xnormal - normal map seams, inverted??
thanks butthair, the tread around the high poly was flat but you were dead on about the smoothing groups. turns out world/object normal won't work in the engine anyway so i'm back to using tangents. being a noob i had a lot to work out. the main difference i found between the two normal map types are to do with smoothing… -
Re: Some Characters and Props
yo need to work on your textures, too noisy, also your spec maps need work, there is very little material differentiation in your models, and the skin on your characters looks a bit plastic~y because your spec maps are off. this is an easy fix tho keep working on those and you will see much better results quickly. also… -
Re: UDK Cascade flipbooks
Make sure each frame is a multiple of 2, so, a standard texture size (ie 256x256) I normally have all frames in a folder, for example 001.tga, 002.tga.

Re: Star Wars - Battle Droid
It's made in post-production! I have a blue point light illuminating the droid in marmoset, but the lightsaber itself is post-production.

Re: I'm a noob again and don't know where to start (read stickies)
perhaps any max related issues that are fairly simple you should just read up in the max help file, people will probably be more interested in helping you with specific 3d issues. But TBH the view cube is shit and not many folks use it The triangle thingy is just a gizmo so you can move stuff in x,y,z, where is the… -
Re: ZBrush - Fixing weird symmetry
Thanks for the tip, but I cant generate the *.zsc file - is it a 4R7 plugin? Maybe, I should upgrade... D: Edit: I dont get the "origin system" in ZBrush and for me this is a little "bug". The shifted version is imported and the position parameters are all set on 0,0,0 - with a slight difference on the y axis. Okay, this… -
Re: bow rig help 3ds max
Oh yea thanks for the bump I downloaded it but never got around to opening it, work got in the way =P Sorry about that... So everything seems fine but the verts in the middle of the string are rotated oddly. Go back down the modifier stack to edit poly, vert mode select those verts and hit "Y" next to the Make Planar… -
Re: maya hotkey questions! (from 3ds max & SI user)
Ah good to see you got it solved. Didnt even know about that discreet move so always learn something new :) Heres some code for object mode string $sel[] = `ls -hl`;for ($thisObj in $sel){ maintainActiveChangeSelectMode $thisObj; select -add $thisObj;} Gonna look into drag context's as that's probably how I would tackle… -
