Re: In need of help with NORMAL maps.
Can you post up some wires of the low-poly? I can't say for sure what may/may not be wrong with that top piece until I see that. Another possible issue with the top half may be your cage as well. In my experience, if your cage is too large, meaning, a lot of empty space between the cage and the object you're baking to, it… -
Re: Please help with normal mapping
Axi5 thanks for helping me out!!!! I changed the settings to high (8x8), and from distance the dotted lines appear to be gone. . . but when I zoom in, I still slightly see them; they seem to be smaller. I wondering if that is normal. (?) And, where the triangles connect to the cylinder-shape seems to be fine. (?) However,… -
Re: [UDK] Abandoned robot factory
Nix: Thanks dude KartoonHead: Thanks man! I'll throw up a texture breakdown & wireframe shot once I'm done with the level :) Mark Dygert: Thanks man. The level is actually meant to be an abandoned robot hangar but I wasn't thinking when typing in the title of the thread and I don't know if you can change thread titles :P… -
Re: Charachter making progress : need a solution for this problem
You can go this way by using dynamesh. It works really well for experienced artist who are busy with character development. For those starting out, not so much. The limitation with this technique is not being able to go up and down with sub division levels which is really handy when beginning. Here is a Brinko style figure… -
Re: [CRIT] ArenaNet Art Internship submission
It's rather difficult to tell how to help with your textures without seeing the texture sheets. Generally to maximize texture space it is best to make things as symmetrical as possible. Areas that also don't have intricate details can be reduced in size in order to give more space to other areas, nobody cares if some… -
Re: Internship/surviving
Roles like Character art intern jobs hardly ever come up, you'd be better off finding a job out of 3D and doing it in your spare time, or QA testing at a studio that allows you to progress to an art role, e.g. a studio with developers ideally in the same building, so you can make contacts and hopefully move up into the art… -
Re: Squares or triangles?
You're over complicating this more then needed. Artists work in quads because they're easier to manage, model, animate, UV and read out with your eyes, period, there is no dud or cheating or anything else, it's as simple as that. You're still working with triangles, but under a pseudo quad interface so that it's easier for… -
Re: 3DSMax: Objects Invisible on Scene Merge
Thanks for your reply, I was going through your questions and saw I was on nitrous. I switched to direct3D and I didn't get the problem. That made me think it was a bug. So I checked for a service pack, updated and the problem looks like it's solved. I don't know why that didn't occur to me try and do that sooner. Thank… -
Re: First Post, Night Elf
Your topology is pretty unconventional. There are a number of problems areas at the joints. Take a look at some "professional" wireframes to see what they're doing, and take a few minutes to throw together a quick rig and see how your mesh holds up. I think under the shoulder and between the legs will be particularly… -
Re: Pull My Tongue [iOS Puzzle Game]
I have had some questions on how the character is rigged on other forums so I thought I should explain it here as well. The tongue is controlled with linecasts to have it colliding against the tacks. It is then rendered with a custom line renderer with two sprites at each end and the start point follows a spline curve that…
