CrazyButcher: you forgot the link but I kind of think that I know what it is about, in max it really is easy to write any values very quickly to any ASCI format using format and other methods. Some reasons to go for a custom format: - reduce filesize (go perhaps binary) - store unique special data - optimize for…
I didn't watch your videos. Mostly because i prefer pictures. Your site is easy and simple. It does look a little too simple (lack of artyness) but that is entirely relative. I like purdy. Some, couldn't care less. Your art is decent. The main problem i have with your work is the presentation. T-poses are so defeating.…
Sorry to hear that you didn't get the internship Haisi, but don't fret! Some positions are VERY specific and your portfolio may have not been tailored to it. Could I take a looksie at your folio by chance? The way our team(Wow Props) do the intern process is: folio's get filtered through the art director and lead, they…
Sounds like a great opportunity at a great studio to me - I don't know what you are stressing for! Nah, I can see where you are coming from. One of my first industry jobs was as an environment artist and for the first few weeks I really felt as if I had made the wrong choice as I struggled with the software and workflow…
hey guys, thx for the comments steakhouse - i am actually considering the idea of a protective shell/plate for the "thigh" of the rear leg. We'll see what i come up with. I actually want to build some sort of "believeable" machine and I hate adding details where they dont mean anything at all( ie, what some people think of…
Ever thought of using Nomad Sculpt on ipad or Android? Ipad is superior, but a bit pricey. If you go for an ipad air 2022 you'll have 8 GB Ram which is the culprit.Ipad Pro 2021+2022 1TB HD do have 16 GB Ram which is good for 20-30 Million Polys. Android tablets with 16 GB are super slick as well, but regarding to Stephane…
As long as ports/emulation exists, games will always be visible for the future and beyond. Especially as it benefits these same companies to keep their IP's relevant for future audiences. The gist I was getting was as long as a game is good or executes a concept really well, doesn't mean it has to be forgotten by newer…
I'll have to strongly disagree ! Just take games like Super Meat Boy and Portal. Their silent era equivalents would be the original Donkey Kong and Breakout/Tetris ; games got a long way since then. These two recent titles are perfect illustrations of games being great at being games, as opposed to trying to be something…
Hi all back again. So Ive had a character in mind that I have wanted to make for a while, ive also been wanting to learn MAYA. So with that in mind I set out to make a 3d model of this character concept: This is Haggle, a young witch who constantly looks at the outside world wishing her mother would let her explore it.…
Depends on how you're generating your heightmap. If you're using a tile sampler or tile generator and the input shapes have alot of contrast or gradients in them you'll probably get overlap. You can try to reduce the contrast of the input shape or in the tile gen/sampler increase the color random, which will hopefully sink…
