Re: [Programming] Decision making and vehicles
The programmers work of real life physics reactions to obtain good results, they are working closely with the physics engine of the game and using functions provided by it to then model things such as suspension behavior and torque. You would have to speak to someone in the particular studio to find out why they made… -
Re: Sci fi military helmet
the rushed high poly pass is really holding this piece back. curved shapes are lumpy. most of your edges were too sharp and went unbaked. components are mostly just intersecting instead of fitting together and selling some kind of functional assembly. for instance, the tube running down the side just terminates at a plate… -
Re: Floating Geometry in Maya?
Hmmm so its basically just geo that you put around your main model? Its never merged/combined into the rest of the model? I guess in max they just have a fancy function to display it merged? I guess it will be baked off as seperate maps then combined in photoshop? Is there a way I can get a fancy render of the high poly… -
Re: Cars, keeping a clean mesh?
Yes - I'd use the face smooth function if I was making something and I wanted part of it to be rounder. For example if I was making a chair and wanted to add a cushion. By patches they probably mean using bezier patches or nurbs. It's not better than polygons in my opinion. But that depends on what you're used to. Nurbs… -
Re: Dominance War V Begins February 28th
Fred isn't a martyr, he's an idiot. if he were a martyr, then he would have ended this whole thing a long time ago. but instead he's dragged it on, and on, and on. wasted countless money, countless peoples time, and to top it all of, he even tried to rip off EVERY artist that was thinking of entering. a martyr is someone… -
Re: Assassin Female
Snader: I think it looks strong enough plus I have room to bulk it out. Also this is a futuristic concept so it could be made of some super strong material. I'd like to know why you don't think its a smart idea though. Do you think it would be a danger to the user? or that its just not a good idea? I think it looks like it… -
Re: Beatmania IIDX Controller
what did you use for reference? why is there color around the record plate? you're missing a needle. avoid large useless 70's style buttons. you're better off texturing a panel that looks functional, and save geometry. barely noticeable bevels are not useful with low poly. paint the shape. i'm assuming geometry on the… -
Re: DDS Texture file format, Alpha problems
I'm pretty sure you can't assign a background color into DXT1 textures. I've had the same problem here so I've done some investigations... The black outline is black because of your world background which is surely black too. Others colors can appear too, depending of the 3D engine and objects which are behind your… -
Re: New Wacom Intuos 4 WIRELESS :D
I expect that it will have the same alignment function as the current intuos4. When you install the intuos 4 it asks if you want left or right handed and aligns the tablet accordingly. In terms of the wireless, it's great and I would definitely pick this up, but I don't know if I would pay extra for it. The cord doesn't… -
Re: cubemap orientation
thanks for your info, the engine mostly relies on fixed function, and shouldnt need much "coding" from the user. So mostly it will be used for simple reflections/skybox. He can however always change texture matrices if the orientation is not to his likings. But I now picked, what most cubemaps I found in nv and atidsk use,…
