Re: Another 'how would you maxscript that' : StraightenEdgesView
No I haven't tried your method, there are parts of IC I have yet to explore (shame) heh I've used the polyboost method and it works pretty good. It flattens everything between two points so first you have to make sure those points are in the right place which is more prep work. Launching graphite modeling tools in 2010 is… -
Re: Insectoid Concept Painting
Conte & ScoobyDoofus: I see what both of you are saying and I agree. That's just a testament of how much more I still have to learn. I've always figured a dynamic lighting scheme would make the piece visually interesting, but that's only one way of looking at it. I will try to use less of a dynamic lighting system in the… -
Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
I've been drawing for as long as I remember (just not as much these last few months...). When it comes to talent vs. effort, I've always found myself on the "effort" side of the argument. I find that the problem with people who have difficulty drawing is most often a matter of sight. In my mind, when someone has told me… -
Re: Venus.Aero - an indie flight sim trailer [COMPLETE]
Stop me if this is too off-topic, since I know this is pre-rendered. But I've started doing some look dev for the trailer. I'm using volumetrics for the clouds but I'm wondering how to duplicate the effect in real time. I had messed around with sprites and found a way to do it, but I can't rig the shaders right in Modo.… -
Re: Answered: Texturing low poly objects with split UVs in DDO
Hi Jonathan, Here are some screenshots - I've added a UV template as a quick overlay (there's plenty of padding beneath). Originally I had the faces organised locally but my technical lead wanted them to be packed more efficiently I flattened them so they could be used at several mip levels. I tried using the fix seams… -
Re: [League of Legends FanArt] One VFX a day (or two), in Unity.
@Shadowstep: Thanks a lot! Actually, it's pretty easy. In Unity, I use the animator to animate the normal projectiles' position. Inside this object, I have a trail (a simple trail renderer) with a wavy texture and a material with a texture multiplied in screenspace. I also have particles systems with a few in local… -
Re: What is the best way to put about 1mln rivets on a HP plane model?
Object Paint http://youtube/ZwHJgfdOFDw has spacing tool inside , also option to pick an edge from a model to place objects. Has randomisation. So for basic use it's very good. I cannot use it because it's impossible to create precise strokes by hand, paths from edges are better in that case. (I has to modify this paths)… -
Re: M-12 Locust SMG (Mass Effect 2)
There isn't really any secret to it. Its really just down to how you break down the shapes. once you model the individual elements you get the seams naturally. What I would consider important when approaching something like this breaking it down into its basic 'physical' parts, never model 2 separate parts as the same mesh… -
Re: Need advice procedural materials with no uv directly in Arnold or substance with uv
You could also make procedural materials in Substance Designer, and assign them in Maya, assuming you can mix Substance into your Arnold materials. We do this a lot where I work, except with 3ds Max and V-Ray, but the same basic concept. Mostly we can get away with procedural mix masks, requiring few hand-painted details.… -
Re: North Korea declares "sacred war" on U.S.
I don't really get how that is a big issue, its only big because people use it as a hot topic republican vs democrat issue. Racial profiling and putting up a wall isn't going to solve or fix anything, if people want to escape their shitty country and have a better life here, then allow them to do it as long as they can…
