Re: Digital Video Recording, External Solution
Here's a sample of DV-recorded-then-compressed video. Works otay. http://www.whatif-productions.com/video.htm (not the Gobbler one tho, that's pre-rendered) One of the Discreet demo guys told me how they compress their 3ds Max vids, which look pretty good. Might be worth a re-examination of the TechSmith route, at least… -
Re: ANSWERED: has official support been suspended?
Hey Teddy, thank you very much for your reassuring words! You really have a talent for boosting the spirit after a really bad week of fear about having to throw my pipeline out the window. The 1.9 announcement sounds pretty amazing and I really love being proven wrong about this. especially since I have to admit that I… -
Re: Animating a logo along a path
Eric I tried that out on a simplified shape and it worked really well. Cheers. Just for reference we have figured out 3 ways of doing this now. 1 : Use a displacement map as Eric suggested and animate the thing along a path and animate the UV offset accordingly 2 : Use masks of some kind. Model the whole object and the… -
Re: Why it's important to learn to draw a foot
Vermillion I was refering to the article that compared Lee to to Liefield and not you. So yeah, not sure how you took that the wrong way, but sorry man if it came out that way. As far as Jim Lee works goes I was refering to his work on Uncanny Xmen 248, and then the Xmen series. He also did work on the Punisher and made… -
Re: Tangent Space Confusion
Edit: Actually, Eric, I think after reading your wiki post you answered what I was trying to ask, what I don't get is this statement: "Each tangent basis vertex is a combination of three things:" What are you referring to when you say "tangent basis vertex". That doesn't make any sense to me. Are you talking about the… -
Danny Rodriguez Gears of War and Mass Effect 2 art

Re: Elven Cottage
Thank you Eric! That is genuinely so kind of you to take time out of your day to help improve a random stranger's work. Did you mean add edge loops to the scroll length-wise or rather ones to the spiral of the scroll so it doesn't have as many sharp edges? I hear you about the bricks and kind of agree, just needed to hear… -
Re: Help - Mesh is causing flipped normals across axes in substance (non overlapping UVs), nothing works
Hello, you're welcome ! What an interesting series of tests. At the very least the cause is identified now, and it is definitely true that there is a wide range of setups from "best possible" to "worst possible" with these things. That said it seems to me that some pipelines should be able to display some of these bad test… -
Re: Jabberwocky Tower [UT4]
Thats what I was curious about as well. It looks like you uniquely sculpted the entire thing. Pretty much what Eric said, you could be getting better resolution, and focusing on the quality of a tiled texture, vs an entire unique map. I see where you are trying to go with the colors from the concept...but its not quite… -
Re: Script/plugin for max similar to modo deformer falloff?
Yes, as Eric pointed out, Gradient Ramps are an easy method. I'm not familiar with Modo, but my guess is that if there is something you can do in it, there is one to 10 ways to accomplish it in Max. One of the things to learn in Max is learning a bunch of the procedural tricks where one system can drive another. In this…
