Re: JoeriV's sketchbook (3d)
Well as I said, the problem is that it was a school assignment (the first one we had) were we had to make a vehicle with only basic primitives(box/cilinder/etc) and some modifiers(bend/taper/etc) (and no editable poly's). It was meant to get people used to the software (3dsmax) and the hotkeys, etc. So we couldn't even… -
Re: Are Developers shooting Themselves in the foot? (design wise)
I think what i was trying to get at was that there is a trend to make games more accessible by providing regenerating health and seeing thru walls. It's like damn you wanna shoot for me too? i know what you mean tho i loved those games because it's repetition that makes the fun, look at Super Meat Boy. Ultimately, look… -
Re: Demoreel crit
Youve got some good stuff in here. Is the football stuff mocap? if so, you should label it so in the video. Your giraffe run seems a bit slow. You have 2 guys that look similar, and they both do the same attack, where they lean back on one foot and slam the ground. It's a poor pose. So showing it twice is a bad idea. when… -
Re: Texture Problem (Maya)
Edited (a lot): This is odd. The first time I tried, I was able to fix it by reversing normals ... Normals -> Reverse ... click the option box and go Edit -> Reset Settings just in case you've changed them. This is good to try when a tool isn't working like you think it should - or you just don't know what the settings… -
Re: Making roads in UDK
I'm building a driving game course at the moment. I decided against modular for the reasons you state, it doesn't feel organic and natural, especially for a windy mountain course which is what I'm building. It would probably be more suitable for a city course. What I'm doing now is simply using line and sweep, it's easy… -
Re: Help me hate video games (for a minute)
hah! can i quote that? Sweet! found a good oen from Jack Thomson: "Video gaming is an escapist activity and you’re being exploited by these companies. It’s not healthy; I worry about someone who would play Grand Theft Auto for ten hours a day. It’s a masturbatory activity, and it would be better if people put down the… -
Re: Grrr....does this ever happen to you?
I can't stand auto save, since it causes a 3-4 second app hang in 3dsmax. I just save and check-in to Alienbrain every 10-15 minutes. Noserider - I used edit mesh all the way up, until about 7 months ago :P. Max 3 might have been edit-mesh only, but it's tools and workflow still allowed you to work 20x faster than… -
Re: External hard drive questions
thanks for the help guys. yea i'm going to try to format into fat 32. hopefully i can do that on the mac, if not may i'll try partition magic. Sage: i still remember my good old dos commands so maybe i'll try to put dos onto the drive. I'll update with any progress (hopefully). **edit** while using partition magic it will… -
Re: Max 9: Distorted UVW's on mirrored objects...
Er, the angled lines are always there when you make a face selection in the UVW window - it's not a bug. You can change the "shading style" of the face selection in the Advanced Options window, it looks like yours is set to "hatched diagonal" - you can change it to any number of things from cross-hatched, to grid, to… -
Re: Sketchbook: ImSlightlyBored
thanks man I'm in a bit of limbo with AO (in general) at the moment. Don't know whether to hold off until I can get my hands on SSAO (which I know I'm going to be using soon) because I'm not sure if, the AO in the textures will multiply with SSAO making it far too strong :( But as for shading, I assume that just baking the…
