Re: Ergonomics for animators
I started getting pain in my hands a few years back. Here's a couple of things that have helped greatly: -switched from mouse to pen -changed from hotkeys to marking menus (swiping instead of clicking) -changed my primary hotkey from 'ctrl+t' to 'd', meaning the tendons in my hand no longer have to stretch hundreds of… -
Re: [UE4] Looking for very harsh critiques and roasts for my scene, Alchemy workshop!
I caught this over in the GameTextures Discord and figured I'd give what you asked for. The previous comment about the lack of edge highlights is spot on. Some of that can come from smart lighting, but most of that is going to need to come from your texture work. Also agree with wires/textures/mats, especially if you're… -
Re: Lockup Xnormal and Maya
Although the 3Gb tweak can be useful, it can make your system unstable. In fact, many graphics drivers have severe problems with that. Just consider to switch to a 64-bits OS and CPU. 32 bits is soooooooo 2000... About the lock ups there are some possible causes: 1. Your system in unstable. Just run a 24h MemTest for… -
Re: Advice for Beginner Artist
Not sure if I am the best fellow to be giving advice, but I shall lend you some. 1. Don't be afraid to have a messy sketch book to get your ideas out, you don't always have to show ideas to everyone and not every sketch has to perfect. 2. Draw constantly, and do circles as warm up sketches loosens up the arm 3.Invest in a… -
Re: Will this be a problem ? (LP question)
Doing an explode bake doesn't mean you need to use a large number of seperate mesh chunks, and using a continunouse mesh chunk for everything that doesn't animate(or just 2-3 larger chunks) doesn't mean you shouldn't do an explode bake. My general rules of thumb: 1. Use as few mesh chunks as possible 2. Use separate mesh… -
Re: [WIP] Ed - Cowboy Bebop (Need Crits)
Hmm, updates have been happening while I've been slowly putting this together, but I'll post it anyway, see if it's of any use. First things first: Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'll attempt at some constructive criticism. Firstly, I'll play the broken record and tell you to grab reference, but I'll take it a… -
Re: Anime Process + Shader Techniques
Wow, good point there @RN !! -- I felt like it should work on a low-poly character, but I didn't quite realize the inherent power of pixel shaders until that image. Thanks! I agree I should tackle these issues one by one -- so the first issue I want to tackle is the occlusion map. Because this sprite gave me lots of lulz,… -
Re: Star Trek Online: Enterprise-F
The Enterprise F is just over 9k tri's. A bit over budget from our initial estimates at launch a year ago, but this is a very special ship, that separate in to two ships, and a drops a third out of the rear (still in development) so we upped the tri counts for it. In this image you'll see the ship all as one unit, and one… -
Re: Freedom Controller
I think the controller idea is great - I play games on both PC and console, and find console pads much harder to use than a mouse. I'd use a mouse like that in Halo2, if I could. That said, I don't think your approach here is going to help things. You've got a good product idea, and you should appeal for support on those… -
Re: Relocating to Portsmouth
