Re: House tank walker thing
Thanks! It certainly does have a certain howl's castle feel. Maybe I should rewatch that movie to get some inspiration! In regards to the ladder, it has some doors things at the top but not the bottom. I was just following the concept at the time. But you're right, their function is not immediately obvious. I will have a… -
Re: Request for advice and opinions for a new member ! :p
You did a good job capturing the forms of the concept. Polypaint is not a particularly functional tool for painting diffuse only textures. Unwrap it and paint it in photoshop or bodypaint or something with better painting/display tools -- use polypaint when you're more advanced, or for quick mockups. Texturing is about raw… -
Re: ZBrush 4 polygroups issue
Are you opening a fresh scene/canvas with a tool? I heard that saving via File (the new option to save everything in your scene in one click) in ZB4 can cause such problem. Also, do you have custom keys/UI? Messing around with the Polygroup functions can have some nasty effects. -
Re: Spec map issue
Yes, that's the function of an ambient light. To provide nice even shading from all angles, without any specular highlights. Think of it a bit like a sphere surrounding your model with light coming from all directions equally. So you'll need another type of light if you want the specular highlights to be evident. -
Re: maxscript node event system returned node
This works for me and prints the name out of the object correctly. --//UNREGISTER THE CALLBACK callbackItem = undefined gc light:true --//FUNCTION TO PRINT THE OBJECT NAME fn CallbackFn1 ev nd = ( for n in nd do ( obj = (GetAnimByHandle n) format "Object: %\n" obj.name ) ) --//REGISTER THE CALLBACK callbackItem =… -
Re: Looking for a game engine with an advanced terrain editor
They have a terrain editor, there was a video a while back showing it off. It's not using vertex blending, vertex colors are used to paint shadows and highlights over the terrain. From my experience, most heightmap terrain editors store the texture blemd layers as greyscale images, I believe UDK, Crytek and Unity function… -
Re: The Rigging Toolbox
Yes, I've noticed that FBX will often include extra unselected and undesired elements in an export. A list based command line export could help -- I'll look into this soon. My UDK script uses back-end FBX but isn't designed for skeletal. I'll probably look into adding this functionality to that script (which is free.) -
Re: Wacom alternatives.
I've worked with an offbrand Cintiq. Monoprice display tablet It was useable, but it lacked the precision and no nonsense usability of a regular Cintiq. If it's a price issue, there's always buying a used one. Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc. My cintiq I use at work is a cosmetically damaged one, but it functionally… -
Re: [WIP] VTOL SHIP
Haha thanks man :) Wow thanks guys, those were the two things I was aiming for, shape language and trying to keep it original. I'm trying to get better with designing, I still have much to learn especially in areas like transition detail and grounding the design so it looks functional. Really appreciate it :) -
Re: Obsidian Dagger
Hey - that does look good! Interesting project. One note, if you don't mind, is that the sinew wrap is a bit unconvincing as a means for holding the blade/handle together. Seems like it would take many wraps around to hold the blade secure enough to be functional. Regardless - nice work. Will look for the finished piece.…
