Re: Expert in a year - 3D artist
This is great and highly inspirational. Something you could do to optimize your model is to mirror some of your elements. For example the front legs on your chair can easily have the same textures, as they look quite same already. You could probably do the same with the backrest and have the back have the same texture as… -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
Xform doesn't fix everything. It's supposed to reset all positional, scaling, and rotational data back to zero. It doesn't always work. What I usually do is create a box larger than my mesh and I avoid any scale, position, or rotational changes. I then attach my mesh to that box. Then in element mode, I delete the box.… -
Re: [UE4] Ancient Tomb Cave (completed project)
Hi guys, It's been a while since my last post .... I made a few changes because my mayor idea is to big for my current skills :D So I reduced my idea and started now with a single grave chamber with modluar stones. I really enjoy the sculpting process of this nature elements. This is the new start for my chamber ... -
Re: 3DS Max - How to unwrap long objects
Cut it in several parts to make each one occupy more uv space or just uv only one section of it and clone it if you don't need a 100% unique texture for the mesh. Heck, you can take a half of each 'section' and mirror it horizontally even. Usually, the textures for such things are tiled and unique elements are added via… -
Re: WIP Space Game Prototype
thanks.. :) yeah sound is something i always want to put i and the push away for other stuff :) its more arcade style... but with some tactical elements. For example the cartography skill (plus other benefits added to the map) will give the player the active ability to set a couple of waypoints to move along and… -
Re: 3dsmax Ambient Occlusion bake problem
when people say they hide the LP mesh for the MR bakes, what they usually mean is they are hiding the faces in the sub object level, not hiding the object itself. Go into editable poly> face selection> edit geometry> hide selection. I seem to recall having to use face selection and not element selection, or it could be… -
Re: Papercraft!
Cheers pior! Thats great, you've saved me there. sort of. Yeah thats roughly what I plan to do; have some informal business cards (small, papercraft models of elements from my book) and some more formal ones. Hopefully I can find time to get it done though. That aliens dude is proper hardcore. Very impressive -
Re: Blender 2.46
There's a pretty good discussion of this over at CGTalk. Some of the developers have been answering questions and stuff. According to them, customizable hotkeys and interface elements are supposed to be coming in the next release. They said the only reason they did this release was because of all the new tools that were… -
Re: Heroes thread!
time to wrap up heroes now I feel theres no direction anymore. destroy the virus, save the day, series end. btw I have been to ayoama cemetery, I used to walk past it most days. There is no grass. Heroes is bullshit! I disagree about Sylar, I think hes more in his element right now than before -
Re: NEW DIABLO CLASS LEAKED!!!
It looks like the game is going to be a bit heavier on the narrative this time around. I don't think I'd want a big rendered cut scene for every little story element given and I can't imagine that'd be practical from Blizzard's point of view either. I'd bet money that the reward cutscenes between chapters will remain in…
