Maya -- Tip for speeding up a sluggish quad draw tool
I originally posted this as a question, but found the solution myself. So here's a PSA : If you are struggling with a sluggish quad draw tool in Maya, break the mesh you are building into separated meshes. Just that easy, and your tool works without lag anymore. You can have a million vertices in the scene, doesn't matter.… -
Re: SOLVED: DDO layers menu not displaying properly
Was my explanation poor? I'll try and be more clear. Lunch DDO; open a project or start a new one, It happens ether way. DDO's layer menu will be empty. DDO cannot "see" any layer or group that is in the root of the layer hierarchy Clicking on a layer/group in the Photoshop layer panel that is already in a group will revel… -
Re: TIling Texture UVs outside the 0-1
You might have a "senior" with their head up their ass. Shitty egos happen sometimes. Just run it by them for feedback. Asking never hurt. Could also be the coworker misheard the instruction, or is blowing it all out of proportion. On lower end hardware, you can run into precision issues if the UV is really far away from… -
Re: Answered: Can't import a mesh of any kind.
The current version of the Suite should function as-normal for everyone using PS CS4 64-bit to 2018. Anything beyond that is unsupported, and the software will be discontinued at some point in the very near future. I can't speak regarding plans for it yet but we're basically transitioning everything we do over to our… -
Re: Are character artists higher skilled than Environment artists?
Environment Art doesn't get enough credit. Look at what the jump from PS2 hardware to HD gaming brought. It mean every object had to be created twice. One for the high poly and another for the low poly. If every prop doesn't look as good, there is an outrage by gamers and the press. Even in terms of attention of detail,… -
Re: How Do You Organize Your Projects?
(only kidding :) ) But seriously, I use the same folder structure at work and at home, helps keep it consistent mentally. Pretty similar to lazerus' structure: Project Folder//Concept Ref /Concept /Ref /Geometry /Base mesh_base.whatever (obj) /High mesh_high.whatever (obj) /Low mesh_low.whatever (obj) mesh_cage.whatever… -
Re: OverDose - Shameless Self Media Pimpage [id tech 2]
called out from my slumber. Hacked up something with some gradient maps and textured brushes. I like what you're doing colorwise but it's just too much, it's hard to make all of those disparate elements mesh. Stronger just to simplify and rock with something consistent imo. This hasnt been passed by odium so i'm not sure… -
Re: [Portfolio] roboy.me
roboy, for future reference create a "template" in Photoshop with your contact info at the bottom of the page. Like what I do is have the document size be 1280 x 760 or so. The extra heights gives some pixel room so I can add my name, email, web address, etc. Also it allows me to keep the actual portfolio image at 1280 x… -
Re: Set Align to edge as a hotkey in maya?
How's this if( !`exists doMenuComponentSelection` ) eval( "source dagMenuProc" );if( !`exists manipScaleAlignHandleWith` ) eval( "source manipScaleOrient" );if( !`exists manipMoveAlignHandleWith` ) eval( "source manipMoveOrient" );{ string $sel[] = `ls -psh`; if ($sel[0] != "") { string $obj[] = `listRelatives -p… -
Re: My Gamasutra Article: New Game Dev Paradigms, Thoughts?
Peter, I find this idea to be brilliant. I've shared it with my small up-and-coming studio. We've been trying to think of how we wanted to handle things and I've sent them your article. Between making games and expanding on them, I think the pilot paradigm would work excellent for us. One of my pals from our studio's going…
