Re: Methods to shape low poly wolf ears??
if the ear is meant to rotate very much as an animation it may be worthwhile to select that edge loop at the bottom, bevel it, and then you can add some more loops inside of that if needed after some testing. if it will fold down, just some more loops along the length will do fine. i think the way you have the topology… -
Re: Is it possible to use both Parallax Occlusion Mapping and World Aligned Texture?
You're generating UVs in world space when you do that only 2 components of the world space position vector are used, and by default that will be XY. if you put a component mask before it goes into the POM node you will be able to select which orientation it is working in. eg. choose GB rather than RG and it should tile in… -

Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
Modeling is one chapter. Quite a few polygon modeling tools in nearly all 3d modeling software requires quad topology to work. Edgeloop selection for example does not work well with tris or n-gons. So that's the thing that you need to learn first. Modeling with a useful topology. And there are plenty ways to achieve this.… -
Re: Killzone Kart
The lighting is good. But you need to increase the shadow quality. In your light properties, make sure your Mod Shadow Color is black and that your Shadow Filter Quality is set to high. For your main light, I suggest you use a dominant directional light cuz it gives off sweet soft shadows and its a great sun sim. Under its… -
Re: Ribbon setups, Morph Targets and UDK, oh my. Picking your brains for advice and tips.
I rigged up an octopus similar to this about a year ago, it was for a 3dsmax rendered project in max but it can be modified in a way to work real time, it just depends on how you set up the final resulting skeleton. I'll dig through my files and see if I can get anything more specific, but here is what I remember doing.… -

Handplane Baker Notes * When trying to do a test bake - I had made and named all the bake groups I would require, but some of these were empty. When trying to do the test bake I got an error “Baker configuration invalid. Unable to proceed with bake.” Removing the empty bake groups fixed the error, but it would be better if… -
Re: 17th Century French Flintlock Pistol
@dzibarik The floral relief pattern is the only photo-derived part of the gun. I dropped into the Royal Armouries while visiting Leeds a few months ago, and seized the opportunity to get some nice photo-reference. I began by extracting a single diamond shape (containing a subset of flowers) from the photograph and used… -
Re: TF2 CTF Decker Custom Map
Okey doke. I got my compile settings and here's how you can implement them: For nice, pretty lighting, you're going to have to use the expert compile options. Hit F9 to open the Run Map dialog box and press the Expert... button. In the dropdown list, select "HDR Full compile -final (slow!)" Now hit the New button and in… -
Re: 3DS Max Questions (from a noob)
So I've been distracted from what's important (art) during the holiday season and am back with a fury to learn more, and improve. Whenever I start up again I hit a wall. I'm currently having a problem with Zbrush that I can't seen to find the answer to. I'm making a simple Axe in 3DS max and am doing the highpoly in Zbrush…
