Re: Gaming trends you want gone in 2014
Early Access games, hate them with a passion. I mean good on them for trying, but i expect at least an 80% functionality, sadly most are way below that. Next it will be "Early Access" for $99.95, you buy it and its just a .pdf of their design document And somehow i still get roped into buying them. -
Re: Confused about field of view?
99% of the time I use a Fuji X100. It's a 1.5x crop APS-C sensor with a 23mm f/2 lens, which functions essentially like a 35mm lens. When I do need to change up lenses, I have a 5D Mark I, which has a full frame sensor. -
Re: Maya 2016 selection problem
Yeah that does seem different, maybe they introduced a bug in 2016 that you just got used to :expressionless: If you want original 2016's functionality back, you just need to change the Select faces with setting to Whole face and then just have Face Centers turned on under the Display > Polygons menu. -
Re: Average salary for freelance 3d artist?
There is a search function on these forums! :) Here are a few useful links: http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryGameIndustry#Salary_Research http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/ Apparently the trend these days is charging a rate daily rather then hourly. Otherwise clients would be rewarding worse artists that take longer, then… -
Re: wii-u event
well i figured the dual screen functionality can work simply with the success of the ds and that had opened up a large amount of newer more intriguing games. Reggie seemed worried alot esp when he was sitting on the couch listening the nintendo tv bit, but im still planning to get one. -
Re: ADOBE Drops Flash player for Mobile
I bet, in 2 years, Adobe stops supporting flash all around. True, it will still probably function/exist for another decade, but not with improvements. At least not as it currently exists. They may reformat it into some type of gaming engine, but I doubt it. Start looking into WebGL Ace. That's probably where flash games… -
Re: UE4 FBX Importer
I haven't put a pull request in yet. I'm still working in rewriting the function St that it works with meshes that have imported or calculated normals. Mostly trying to wrap it around the general framework that's there as I'm not really au fait with the full mesh import pipeline. No point submitting a fix that doesn't fix… -
Re: Metaball Modeling
alright here is an example. after playing around with this, i decided i'm gonna include it in my next tutorial briefly, because there are a lot of interesting functions worth noting. here is the basic principle though: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGapGt25U3U[/ame] don't know why i've never seen it -
Re: Tackling Samus Aran.
I think this is a case of form over function. Its designed to look cool and not to physically work. Even if you model it so it overlaps and collapses correctly your going to have to rig it to work in motion. Id stick to the design as much as possible and put up with the deformations. someone did a cosplay of it a while… -
Re: Question about uv seams and texture painting
Another noob question (sorry so much of this is new to me) what are tangents? And is it something i can create if i bring it through max and save as a fbx? Anyway as i read your answer, i need to use xnormals instead of Zbrush :-( i wonder why they have that function, if cant be used?
