Thanks Feb ^^ I'll be sure to check yours out too. A quick question for anyone who might be able to assist: Is it better to keep as much of your geometry as a single mesh as possible? (i.e armour plates/pieces etc) Or is it ok to have a lot of it as separate pieces? The reason I ask, I'm finding it a little tricky to try…
Hi, I've been trying for a while to code in maxscript a function to move all the keys of a biped on the time line to make the motion start at an other time. But it's just a nightmare and I did not find any simple way to do it... For others stuffs than a biped the following work fineselectKeys $.controller moveKeys…
Hello everyone. My name is Mau Vasconcellos, and this is my very first post in this particular community. I am a traditional artist and writer, who has been working on a couple of sci-fi/fantasy novels for over a decade. For my first post today, I am bringing the whole process about creating one of the many illustrations…
indeed, topology, uvs and such are just too damn effective. good topology makes UVs (and many other productions steps after) easier, good UVs make texturing easier. even with 3d painting today a good clean line on a model is just nicer to work with in 2d space. normalmaps are a good example, even in movies where you could…
you are always saying this as if box modelling is still the standard in film as well, and from my experience its just not (not even for classical pixar like cg feature films), in bigger productions it was never tooooo huge, as the whole retopo thing came up from scanned sculpts which have then been retopoed, cleaned and…
Hey man, will fav this thread and will be wishing you the best on it as I wanna go on the same path on my last project for uni, and try a shot at CIG. I will have a whole year for it so I wanna do the outside and inside of a small ship (maybe something smaller than the Freelancer); I'm still unsure I will do from my own…
Been a while since I've posted anything "finished" (I've discovered full-time work in the game industry will do that to you!), but I'm calling this done... still a lot of stuff I'd change but this will have to do since the deadline for the contest is in about 2 hours, heh. Thumbnail: Winning Pose: Beauty Shot:…
I'm sorry but I dare anybody to tell me anything in Resistance 2 was really good? The whole game was a bog standard shooter, the very same thing I played 10 years ago. NOTHING was new, and it was so damn average I nearly stopped playing half way through. In fact, I think for shear enjoyment, the first one was better. Sure…
We've got a couple tarps nailed down to our roof to cover holes since we're replacing the whole thing soon; one of the tarps ripped off and flipped over onto the other side of the roof.... it exposed the holes in the roof to the rain and my parent's bed got drenched.
Hey all, Getting a start on an environment piece that has been nagging me in the back of my brain for a while. A while ago, I watched the movie Excalibur and it got me thinking about fantasy, swords, temples etc. Then I got hooked on Dragon Age for a while... And wanted to start making a fantasy piece even more so. So…
