Re: Testing Usability of an Xbox Kinect to aid with Game art
So I know your project isn't really about this but I would like to propose a slightly different angle for the kinetic technology that I think might be more interesting for future game content creation. Finding more methods to scan data is I think a pretty cool idea, however I think the cost problem will eventually fix… -
Re: 3ds Max, V-Ray, rendering cubemap = seams?
Update on this problem. Obscura thanks for the idea, but doesn't work in my case. The GI is being calculated independently for each face, which creates seams along the edges. Also, since I need to output six separate bitmaps, baking won't work because it makes 1 image. What I've tried so far: 1. Rendering from six cameras.… -
Re: Elder Scrolls Online - Nord Well
here's a few suggestions. take them with a grain of salt, since i'm only guessing at your goal with this piece: the whole thing in general looks very shiny, like it's all wet. even if that's your goal, there should be more material separation. stone, metal, wood - these all have unique properties. it doesn't look like you… -
Re: Bastard Sword
I'd take the straight one - gives better protection to your hands. :) Both of em look great. What I'd change is the blade texture: There's an odd polishing line where the blade is attached to the handle, right at the edge where it meets the Cross-guard - swords are polished when it's still disassembled- this wouln't… -
Re: 3D Modelling Techniques For A Beginner - Advice and Pointers Please
I used to be a programmer before learning 3D. Here is my advice for a quick start. You will learn the basics which will be useful for any advanced topics there may be (such as Zbrush). 1. Pick a 3D package: Max, Modo, Maya, Blender 2. Learn poly modeling - i.e. how to edit individual polygons and best practices 3.… -
Re: Custom 3d grids in max?
Yes that would be amazingly helpful to have custom deformable grids, however that would more than likely destroy the grid as a measurement device. You can use Grpahite Modeling tools > Free form > draw on object > Pick Target Object. You can use a handful of tools, I wish all of the tools worked with an active snap system,… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 8
@Uber, Combine em all as one static mesh .FBX, but make sure that you have open holes in your fence that you can walk through or they won't be penetrable ,when you import that combined object double click your mesh in the content browser, scroll down and uncheck " use simple box collision, use simple line collision, use… -
Re: Vertex Painting stops working after I apply a 2nd material ID in UDK
Well then, I did a quick test here, and I'm not quite sure what the problem is. To be honest, no matter what I tried throwing at it (even the sort of things which I myself thought would reset the vertex paint) it were still there. I started off by creating a simple box with multiple segments. Added a simple material to it… -
Re: Sketchbook : Leodido
Your mug looks OK but I think the cruve on the handle is a bit off, as is the way you mate the handle to the mug - usually the handles are even on the top and bottom and in your smoothed version they lack the subtle separation that comes from the way they're manufactured. The turbosmoothed, high-geometry version would be… -
Re: Streaming blocks of prefabs -- is it the best way??
Thanks for the straight-talk. I totally appreciate the heads-up from a more experienced 3D developer on this one. I come from a 2D dev background, so I'm learning my way around 3D optimizations a little at a time. Thankfully I've got enough of a hang of it that I've understood everything you've said so far. I'm doing…
