Re: Wondering what my next step should be.
I can tell you are trying your hardest to be constructive, DKK... As for your next step, there is a lot that could be done to solve your issues with the differences in lighting. Yes, add an edge, perhaps like I've depicted in the image... You're going to need more geometry than even I have depicted there, but you get the… -
Re: [ Portfolio ] Joris Hoogeboom
simple: it really worked without any issues right away for me - thats a very good sign. There is nothing one can do wrong with the navigation - just simple scrolling of the goods. You TF2 low poly stuff is golden (I so do like it). The hammer has nice colors and a good texture job. The last piece is the weakest and does… -
Re: Brooklyn Building UDK
Ah I see, thanks for explaining the building a little better, i get what you're saying but it's difficult when you can't even fashion a desk out of timber let alone know how a buildings constructed. i guess it's a lesson of if you don't know, follow the reference as close as possible. i did notice its a little too clean,… -
Re: WIP Environment - Sci Fi (UDK)
Comin' along, especially considering a lot of these materials are "placeholder". Just a minor crit regarding the center pillars, they don't really fit the aesthetics of the scene. On their own they're great, love the subtle reflection on them, but the rest of the scene has a rounded nature to it with lots of curves and… -
Re: WW2 German Infantry update
Tom The reason the belt doesn't sag is not just because of the Y straps, but because there are small aluminum (aluminium for those in the U.K.) hooks that emerge from one of three vertically spaced small holes in line with the center pleats of the front pockets. Originally the soldier was not issued "Y-Straps". and it was… -
Re: Maya UV issues
So let me get this right. This is your GEO: _ /_\ And you're trying to map it like this: _ |_| ? If that's the case, there's no way around the stretching. This, by the way, is like what DaZ said, an problem with 3d graphics in general. Basically what's happening is you're keeping the bottom half the way it should be... and… -
Re: Workflow Improvement Thread
Perhaps you could try starting as small as possible and working up from there. That means that the character actually starts as a vertical line (which will also keep it from getting wonky) which you divide into eight sections after which you can roughly sketch out the forms and the detail after that. I think looking at the… -
Re: Maya 8 features that I like.
malcolm - it's a way to make Maya crash every single time. It hasn't been fixed yet as of 8.5 I believe. If you try to use the mouse scroll while editing the name in the outliner it will always crash. Let me share some of the things I've been pleasantly suprised at finding: 1. Double click on the scale tool and select… -
Re: Image Distortion Reletive to Resolution?
LCD screens have fixed-resolution, so there's nothing you can do about that - the pixels on the screen are set up to work at the standard resolution (in your case 1280x1024) ... so if you switch to a different resolution, it has to blur the pixels to fit the new resolution into that. You could always measure the horizontal… -
Re: Short Sword, with a twist!
I stand corrected. You learn something new everyday. As for modeling the washers to follow the contour of the tank, I would model them normally, position it over the pipe, then use the Align tool (in 3ds Max) to get the angle right to the surface, then set turn on Snaps with the Face option checked and snap the bottom…
