Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
Hi everyone, Since last year, i've been jumping on and off between Blender and Zbrush to find my own voice in 3DCG. I've grasped both software's basics and I've been diving more and more into hard surface. I'm making this topic because the search function throws nothing at me, I've been following Mario Elementza's… -
Re: Stylizing your art; getting rid of the greeble
Make it functional. For a sci fi ship, it's one thing to cover it with random squares, and another thing to cover it with functioning vents, actual compartments with doors that escape pods can come out from, turrets, and such. Also keep in mind, when a technology is first 'invented' you SEE the mechanics of how it works.… -
Re: actors, skeletal meshes, trigger volumes, blueprint
You could also use functions or macros instead of events. The main difference between them is that some of them can be reused, some of them can't, and some of them can be executed over multiple frames (uses delay) and anothers cant. - event: can be executed over multiple frames, but can't be reused in another classes. -… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | R&D
I could probably add that functionality in the form of a "curve" input value or something, where it adjusts the reflectance by pow(specular, curve); either that, or just keep it simple and have a "pow2 curve" checkbox which would match frostbyte exactly. the problem we have though, is that we're only aware that frostbyte… -
Re: [P&P] - What Are You Working On? 2009 Edition!
I love nice syntax highlighting (e.g Visual Assist for MSDEV), but quickly miss some of its features in other IDEs. For luxinia (Lua,Cg..) friend and I overhauled the wxLua based editor to a more complete IDE for our needs. Today I added function call highlighting, sadly wxwidgets' scintilla's automatic lexing would… -
Re: [MaxScript] Select Polygons by material - need help
You need to collect obj, and not o :) objarr = for obj in objects where obj.material == meditMaterials[medit.getActiveMtlSlot()] collect obj If you already give the mat to the function tho, i'm not sure why you put it in the medit. If you just want to get objects that have the currently selected mat in the medit, you just… -
Re: RealTime Texture Blurring in UDK
Edit: The "offset picture" thing is what a box blur kinda is. :) so yeah over a very small range that is exactly what it looks like. I built a realtime controllable bilinear filtering material function to solve this very problem. It still has some artifacting here and there at the more blurry settings, but it is… -
Re: Cintiq touch
I can't talk for the maybe upcoming smaller size version, but the 24 touch is pure gadget. Touch functionality are reduced to a few gestures, akin to the kind of function you can assign to express keys, they're not really responsive and you'vve got to lift your pen off the tablet to use touch function, as soon as the pen… -
Re: High poly missile tank WIP and portfolio
Don't worry, I posted here to get ripped apart , in a positive way. Its a good observation, and it brought some aspects of functionality to my attention I hadn't considered. I admit the design is pretty ill-conceived. I basically went along with "What looked cool to me while drawing", instead of what would be practical and… -
Re: Why don't big film studios just use Blender?
Exactly. The headache of switching software can be a monumental task and shouldn't be downplayed. Deadlines are tight, retraining takes time and will run into resistance from people who don't want to change. You have to set up a lot of new tools and workflows outside of the software, to do things that are already…
