Re: Make particles follow emitter
Thanks for reply, imbueFX. We could not get that to work, sadly, but managed to get "MyEffect.SetAbsolute(false, true);" to work instead, when attaching the particle. I was hoping there would be some cascade option for it tho, as Id like to be able to have same functionality for particles by default when attaching to… -
Re: UDK - Low End Shaders/Material (AKA Old School Tricks)
Not really anything particular, just trying to understand and tackle old school stuff that they would have done in PS2 ages inside UDK if I was looking to create something for a device on such a level. I'm curious about the Bloom and Lens Fare method, how would I got about making it? I tried using the same idea of the… -
Re: Photoshop CS6 (beta out)
I'm loving the New Tiled Painting from Layer function! It makes it so easy to paint tileable textures. And I saw someone complain that you can't export the textures. You can. You have to go into the layers tab and find the 3D object, and then you double click the diffuse channel. That will open the texture flat as a new… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - The Vendan Throne - Ryan Smith
Here are some Substance updates. First one is the brick with a maskable paint layer that adapts to the curvature and cavities of the underlying brick. i'll probably use that functionality in UE4 as a vertex paint mask or something. The next three are just simple tile patterns that i can blend together with a master mask.… -
Re: What should be in your portfolio?
I'm not sure that's quite specific enough just mentioning "uses zbrush/can texture" etc. More useful information would be like effective material differentiation between surface types such as metal, fabric and all the subvariants of those, an appropratie gloss map can really add alot to those. Wear and weathering than… -
Re: [WIP] Modern Sniper Rifle Concept
Maybe I'll make a stone soldier to complement the rock hard look. It was my first weapon and a lot more first on this model. I'll agree that the textures and other maps are poor but I don't see whats wrong with the overall function of the rifle. yes it looks like it would be much too heavy to actually carry in the field… -
Re: 'Vertex' Tutorial - How would you do this unwrap?
Think I was just being a bit slow this morning. I planar mapped it in sections, aligned verts/stitched edges and then used the mirror function in TexTools for the first time. Other than a bit of clean up still to do it's come out looking alright. Would be nice if you could select an edge/loop and relax the verts along it… -
Re: 3DS Max Keybinds
If your used to silo and blender your going to have to get through the hate period with either max, maya or xsi. They're just different. So far as customisations go, Im trying to make max work more like silo, functions are smart and based on selection decide what to do. I posted a script a while back that mimics silo's… -
Re: need help fixing max script
I doubt the issue comes from the tutorial, could you please paste your code so we can see what's missing? "i" shoudnt be undefined as i == a number ranging from 1 to obj ( which you should have declared above) number of verts do you declare obj when running the function? ig: fn exportmesh $box001 ($box001 = obj) and so… -
Re: how do you grade game art?
A prop could be judged in form and in function. 1. Does it meet all the visual requirements set out for it ( style, level of detail etc) 2. Does it meet all the technical requirement set out for it ( tri count, texture size, optimization etc) Try telling your lead that "art is subjective" when he/she asks you to change…
