Thank you for the reply! ^o^ Well, this is going to be a semi-open-world map, with a relatively wide scenery completely explorable. Much like an arena, but covering about a couple of squared kilometers. These three buildings (and the related assets) will make up the "shipyard" area. There wont be much more, in its…
"Out of curiosity, why was this approach chosen, rather than making the engine use an industry standard tangent basis like MikkTSpace?" The engine uses MikkTSpace since the release after August 2013. Ryse was shipped with it too. It is just not exactly compatible on every level of the implementation. The reason is that we…
Nice pre-throw motion, but I think he winds up a little too much for the trajectory of the spear. If you want to keep the wind up motion (which looks good) you may want to change the trajectory to be more arched instead of flat. I also think his arm should extend further back during the windup. When seeing people throw…
I don't think this can be done. Maya's invisible triangle edges tend to default to shortest distance. You must be working pretty low poly to worry about triangle edges to that extent, unless you're trying to get them to all line up for optimization reasons. Generally if I need a quad to bend the proper direction, I draw in…
First off, its difficult to give feedback without seeing the initial concept or reference. Without understanding your goals or visual target, feedback will be based on realism or personal taste. Starting with your visual goals will allow people to help steer you in your desired direction. Here is a quick paintover based on…
I bet they are already taking pre-orders...(ps9)heh Went by Target this morning when they opened... They sold out of Wii in less than 10 minutes. Apparently some moms and grandmoms had been waiting outside since 4am this morning. I refuse to do that. My town isn't even more than 50k people strong. Guess I'll check BestBuy…
Scaling will effect the scaling transforms and its good to reset them. Basically there is a hidden list of things you've done to the object and reset xform zero's that list. Think of it like collapsing a long history stack and telling 3ds not to think of the object as a box that has been butchered by a long series of…
I have a kid, I've forgotten what its like to fall asleep long enough to even start dreaming. But seriously I've had a few dreams recently that where just plain messed up. I had a dream where it was the future some force had invaded the US (WOLVERINES!) I was a soldier painting a target with a laser, to guide a missile,…
welp, finished it! Won't spoil any ending, its not exactly amazing (FFX and X-2 ended WAY better, nothing compared to 9 though!)... but i guess it is a "conclusion." After i had finished it, i was still wanting about 4 or 5 more zones of combat and story development. It just ends... *shrug* :( I'm 87% complete with all the…
Personal Art Test For the art test each member of the team was given a small asset to create for the environment, this was to ensure redundancy if the asset failed to meet the art test specifications. For the art test I created a small terracotta pot to house foliage in the compound and to be modular to use throughout the…
