STORY TIME SHIT FIRST I'm a Finnish game artist, 26 years old, with a small resume and smaller portfolio. So after 9 months of moping around after I was done with the military, after I was done with my cool LEGO internship, after I was done with everything from uni related to actual game work... I got a job doing some…
Great that you're cutting scope, it will really help bring the focus to quality and lets you put in the time where needed. One thing that currently sticks out to me is the camera positions. I don't know where exactly the viewer is standing. Highly recommend you set on fixed camera positions soon as it will help you with…
I have spend the last week working on my first environment scene. It was a lot of fun and i got to try quite a few things i have never done before. Although im not happy with the end result it was good practice and I feel like I now know quite a few things that i will do differently next time I do something similar. This…
I've exhausted the web attempting to find a script that mirrors my set driven keys for facial animation (joints). I've been doing this manually for years, but theres gotta be something out there that works! HELP! Here is a video of a script, but I think its proprietary because they have not released it anywhere on the net…
Hope you can help me solve this... So last night I created a normal map through Ndo2, and I got to a point where I wanted to produce the AO, Spec and height maps etc via Ndo map converter. but whenever I try to do this, I always get the message with something along the lines of 'Script Error'... 'Set' Command is not…
Hi I have found nor many tuts and are either old or nt corresponding precisely to the actual xnormal interface , so could someone tell me how to correctly setup the occlusion in order to get an even one? most of the times I get just a washed out white texture rather than a detailed occlusion map :/ ... thanks for any…
FINAL LOW POLY FINAL HIGH POLY Hi guys and gals ! I make my first post a bit late but started the actual work on the contest one week ago. My intend is to do a Mason Archer Set as a sort of tribute to all the good archers that own me in Chivalry with my knight. :) I`m gonna paste the references i used for inspiration and…
I was wondering what you guys/gals use for spread value. Do you use the default value of 180? 180 doesn't seem to have much contrast compared to 162 (xnormals default) or 140. However, i could see this being totally fine. As a new user to these program, I sometimes assume things might be happening in the background to…
Hello, In my scene I got a blueprint script setup for easy placement of certain static meshes. Initially they were all placed as moveable until someone pointed out to me that they would not be baked properly if this was the case. I set the nodes in the blueprint script to static, as well as the spline and with that done…
Awesome, thanks! Can these saved settings work across different versions of Max and Vray ? Let's say next year I want to replace my machine and I'll be reinstalling all my software and they might be the newer versions, will loading up older render settings work then ?
