Re: Games that inspired you to get into games development (all areas)
Many games inspired me to go into my career. but these are the ones that made it easy for me to test out stuff in :D Excite Bike was one of the few games that let you make your own tracks and I loved it when I was a kid. Metroid I did not edit in any form but I drew tons of drawings of levels with repeated tile sets on… -
Re: [Instant Terra] the high-performance terrain creation tool
Hi Alex, Tile export is supported by all the versions. Tile import is only in the Instant Terra Pro edition: https://www.wysilab.com/OnLineDocumentation/index.html?page=Nodes%2FNodes_Import_TerrainFromSeveralFiles.html Is that what you were talking about? Key benefits over World Machine? Well we strongly built the bases… -
Re: Low Poly Hardware Specs
On UDK I got 70~80 skinned meshes on screen chasing the player (1 player 5 bones, NPC 3 bones instanced). Each mesh was about 470 tris. Environment was about 13k. One texture (1024x1024) for the environment, using a UDK made lightmap, one texture for the NPC and one for the character. With Unity there's so much you have to… -
Re: 3ds Max Motion Capture Animation Question
I really don't fully understand what you're trying to do with the arms and guns either, but you can filter out limbs in the motion mixer. You can also use biped layers to reposition and reanimate pieces. You can also load .bip animations into layers so you could use mixer to filter in/out the arms, save out .bip animations… -
Re: Sketchbook: Janelle Desborough
Been keeping plenty busy with projects, so here are some renders to add to the sketchbook! This is the first pass on modeling our family Durango (which served as great real-life reference until it was traded in o.o). Shown here it's a hefty 11,393 polys (22,306 tris) and built to be subdivided. Done within two weeks. I'm… -
Re: i was hoping to post good news today...
It's definitely hard man, I can only imagine what the both of you have gone through with the pregnancy issue. I know you left a career you hated for one you loved and have stumbled some in that way, but I wouldn't suggest going back. Life is too short to be working a job you hate. Do what you love and be happy, even though… -
Re: maxscript - DivideEdge problem
Hi Greg, I want to say that there is not THE way to write code. Following is only how I'd write it to be safe. There are a bunch rules to keep in mind and a lot of case testing. For instance: never use the direct $ to retrieve a selection. That's so generic it can lead to many errors. Same goes for "Selection" collection.… -
Re: Autodesk Max vs. Maya?
First of all, I'm a loyal and hard core committed Blender user since I started 3D for the first time and I absolutely L-O-V-E it, so my opinions might be biased, I dont know. Funny enough, I've been working on two working conditions (a game development school and in a small animation & vfx company). In school we used Max,… -
Re: Place gravel in maya without dynamics?
Hey! Yeah, i went with the dynamics after all. Placing stuff with the brush script was annoying course it was buggy. I found an other script that placed the mesh all over a target mesh randomly.But that just made the stones just look flat, and some of them where on the same position, wich look really ugly. And at first i… -
Re: Free tool to generate normal maps - nMaker2
Hello folks, I forgot to comment on who is my target audience with this tool! My main focus is people that need to do repetitive work, and do not know much or anything about image editing. So the idea of the tool is to be "one click". To this end the tool will have some presets options, ie. this tool is basically a preset…
