I wasn't having too much luck with the reaction manager. Im sure its something I'm overlooking. Possibly dealing with trying to hook into a biped arm. I guess because of what Rick is saying. The nodes? are hidden. Maybe I needed to make the master the Expose Transform Helper for it. Anyhow, taking ideas from both. I got it…
not sure where this is from but some languages use the $ sign as a variable placeholder (e.g. perl, php, maxscript,..). Some programmers that had exposure to web or backend languages tend to use the $ syntax in other languages even when it is not mandatory. One of the design goals with Perl's variables for example was to…
Never seen a barrel weathered quite like that. This kind of rust seems to form a pretty even coat or be localized along the top and on the extruding edges. Some decent ref: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=519578356&size=l http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=483508603&size=l…
Finally a question that is right up my alley. I'm a senior UI designer at my company and it's not a lowly job at all. I'd actually say that I am in a position somewhat above many of the 3D artists because I have a heavy hand in the overall tone of the game because it's not just UI but also all the graphic design and…
Many issues can be caused by problems on the Windows side so it's not necessarily a hardware issue :) As the meshes load perfectly on my test machines it's very likely that it is something specific to your machine that is causing the problem, such as something hasn't installed correctly or has become corrupted. If the…
Probably not the same schools ... as you indicate "South Texas" and this is a school local to Dallas. Yet the details are similar. There is a desire by schools to serve the wants of young people, particularly those coming out of high school, to get into the game industry as quickly as possible. The issue, as I see it, is…
Can't Elaborate on the local developments, but it has given me the incentive to learn the high end stuff. the Next Gen is where continued employment lies. As to making it all in separate pieces, that is what i was figuring, building out a base nude model as a clotheshorse, and then sculpting the great and pieces over it. I…
that's actually a very good point. so what dropbox does, is updates the folder in realtime. a taskbar popup will notify you a new file had been added and synchronized locally, to your dropbox documents folder. dropbox doesn't have a server side virus scan, they leave it to their users to decided which anti-software to use…
Thanks guys, Eric; I have some plans for the back but its really rough right now, looks pretty crap so once I can get around to focusing on it I'll post a shot from that angle Kayamate; I hope you also wouldn't relate to a fat tail, otherwise you were quite a peculiar baby Here's some images, just doodlin around today.…
This is what annoys me most about the idea of ads in games, I dont mind the investment into the industry but dont ever screw with the game experience! It may be subtle at first but Im sure they would like to get ads in there more overtly and they are probably hoping to gradually make these changes so as not to anger…
