Re: Texture manager V1.0
You can set the root folder here. So you can still work with sub-folders. Let's say your texture PSD is located in C :/Textures/Source/Props/Lamps You can now set your Texture Source folder Root to: C :/Textures/Source. Now you set set your Destination folder Root. Let's assume it is: D :/Textures The script will now… -
Re: How do you setup material slots in 3DS Max for a UDK environment?
Thanks for the reply r4ptur3. Oh yeah definitely. I've been blocking it all out on the grid. I will be using a lot of modularity within my environment's. I meant more in terms of the actual texture allocation within 3DS Max. Because I have only ever made individual props, I tend to just create a standard slot in the… -
Re: [WIP] Mercer Street - SoHo, Manhattan
The parts that stick out to me, I'm sure you're already aware of. The lighting I'm guessing is temporary, but even just spending a little time on the lighting will make it look much nicer! The main props are really nice, the bicycle and lamppost especially look great! The kerbing has no spaces between the pieces, it looks… -
Re: Barrel and Simple Pistol
drawing is good to make you develop an eye for the details mostly. About maya, you can challenge yourself to make 1 prop per day for 30 days. And when you make all of them, unwrap and texture 1 prop per day for another 30 days. It is a good practise for me to keep a schedule. For Junior position portfolio you can try and… -
Re: [UDK] CORRIDOR_01
Its looking very cool so far :) On this latest prop though, I don't feel it was really necessary to make this thing a totally unique map. By that I mean, you could have symmetried all of it, or most of it or even some of it and gotten more res in your textures. Also, a nice idea/trick I've done in the past, is to have a… -
Re: Next gen Hoverbike (Looper)
I don't think it has a gas tank? The two domes on the side are reminiscent of a chain cover that you'd see on a dirt bike (and probably are on the prop). It's basically the non-functional parts of a dirt bike slapped onto a jet engine. It's a fairly faithful reproduction of what you see in the photographs in his link; it's… -
Re: Self-study to professional game artist: What do you know now that you wish you knew then?
I'm not a professional yet, but I'd definitely have tons of advice I could throw back at myself a few years ago. I knew I wanted to do 3D modeling, so I started doing online tutorials for prop modeling, character modeling, rendering, etc etc. I spread myself way too thin trying to learn a bit of everything. I studied stuff… -
Re: Object Swap?
should be easy enough to just use kismet, to hide the undamaged one, and display the damaged one in it;'s place. in the static meshes properties you can set the damaged one to hidden by default, than in kismet there is a event for when a object takes damage, so you can link that too the undamaged prop and have it set that… -
Re: The Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's superman film
Yes the interaction between Pa/ma Kent and young Clark were wounderful it would been great if more of this was used in order to draw us in more. The way some of the people round here are talking. It's almost as if they want a brain dead action blockbuster every summer. Also why would there be any significance on their… -
Re: Ackes Environment Improvement thread
Bigger update: - Changed the layout of the room to make it more "gamey" and also emphasizing the hero-prop (the grandfatherclock) as the eventual focal point. - Thickened the beams of the walls and added a center pillar. - Made a small desk-lamp which might need some work but adds some color. Am now planning to make some…
