Re: Stephanie's game props
BARDLER- Yeah Maya! HitmonInfinity - Thank you! Haha I haven't seen too many other "game prop threads". Now I feel like digging through the whole forum for them. I choose vintage objects because they have a lot of intricate shapes. They've helped me master creating shapes quicker as opposed to the usual sci fi corridor… -
Re: Diablo 3
You don't choose your difficulty. Your character progresses through the difficulties sequentially, you must start a new character on normal. You could choose to play on hardcore mode, but the difficulty is the same, aside from permanent player death. Also, I played the beta, and I feel like they have ramped up the… -
Re: Beginner Advice
To answer your question on choosing the right programs and projects to work on, i would suggest that you work hard to get a good understanding of hard surface modeling and prop making. This has to be your grounding as a 3d artist because all art positions will require you to make objects using hard surface modeling at some… -
Re: Truth in Video Game Rating Act
[ QUOTE ] The annoying thing is I'm pretty sure there's no restrictions on selling DVDs to minors no matter the rating (except at like Wal-Mart, but that's not a law or anything), the only restrictions to seeing the movies exist at the theaters. And none of those restrictions are laws. [/ QUOTE ] Because choosing a movie… -
Re: Racing Game Collaboration
Hey ! Basically, there is no much difference about the engine you choose. I choose Unity because it work on MAC platform. Both have full physics package already. But car physics need to be programmed on top of physics package, so at the end, you have to do it yourself. If you are completely new to car physics and have no… -
Re: 3D artist. What does it take?
I find that when doing concept art, I don't really enjoy the process of drawing orthos, variations, silhouettes, numerous re-iterations of the same thing, etc. I find that the things I enjoy the most tend to be illustration based. Yeah, well if you choose to do 3d I'm sure you'll soon realize that there many aspects of 3d… -
Re: 3ds Max Uv´s shell Size question
You can reduce the shells to fit inside the box without losing any texture quality. The frame signifies the area which would be rendered if you do a render to texture/render UV wires. You would choose the size of your texture in your chosen texture software. If you plan on doing a render to texture with your chosen UV… -
Re: Website overhaul
A very, VERY subtle watermark in the background - we're talking like 5-10% opacity, or maybe a texture would bring a little more personality to your site. Also that font works great for display text but choose a matching font for body text. Something more readable. But yeah, layout looks good, looks simple enough to… -
Re: does a degree make a difference?
I feel a degree will help with salary negotiations and maybe a teeny bit with job finding. However, if you are interested in a school definitely research where you want to go. Don't choose a good major college that is in state (like I did) over an out of state smaller school with a better program. Bigger is not necessarily… -
Re: JS_Normalmapper for Mental Ray
This is what I do... Make the shader like your normaly would minus the normal map. When you have it like you want it, create JS_Normalmapper. Add the normal map to it. Then middle click, and hold down (with your scroll wheel) on the JS_normalmapper box (sorry I dont really know the technical term), and drag it ontop of…
