Inglis, a question for ya!

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

Hey, just saw your website.. http://effectism.com/sample/ awesome stuff! What 3d program do you use, and what plugin (if any) did you use for the global illumination? What's that walkway scene thing you're building at the bottom of the page going to be for?

Submitted by inglis on Tue, 14/01/03 - 8:19 AMPermalink

im using 3dsmax.
gi is only being used in that last environment. its just a basic setup using max5s new gi system.
that scene is just for my showreel that im working on at the moment, thats the purpose of that page- to show what im currently working on for the reel.

thanks for the feedback :)

ahh ok.. it lights up the scene pretty nice.. the detail and style in that scene is incredible - how did you get rope to wrap around objects like that? [:)]

Submitted by bouncy roo on Tue, 14/01/03 - 8:29 AMPermalink

I wish they had global illumination in max4! I can't fake gi :) My max5 doesn't work I got to use it for ten days but after that I couldn't even dream of dishing out that sort of money for something that's gonna be updated again :(

[}:)][:X] Moo kiss *grin* Souri you're a legend making these icons [:D] I love mixing drinks that were just not meant to be mixed together I just made a hotchocolate with icemagic choc mint and bubblegum flavour squirted in..the COOLEST part is that now all these round bubbly gunk pieces are floating on top so it looks like something deadly that only icky evil people serve[:D] like me [8)]

i drew out a spline wrapping it around the pipes, then created a cylinder and put the pathdeform modifier on it. then just pick the path. then i just made a few variations.

still got to put a lot more detail into that scene( e.g. the walls, and i just started working on the doors, plus the water/steam but theyll be the last things). aim to have the model completed within the week then onto texturing.

thanks [:)]

Very good work.. Oh, Bouncy, I didn't make the icons.. They're emoticons from some app. [:)]

Hahaha.. that's pretty a nasty mix there [:)]..

you can do global lighting in max4 by putting your scene/model inside a hemisphere with its normals flipped. and then tiered targetted spotlights in an arrary from the top to the bottom of the hemisphere.

Was that scene designed by yourself or off some one else's concept?

Submitted by bouncy roo on Tue, 14/01/03 - 8:45 AMPermalink

Yeah but It looked cool because when you blew the top surface all the little parts moved to reveal the real drink it was all green and bally on top [:D] I've always been disgusting [;)]

It's amazing what you can do with make up it's just like painting you can do anything and create any look if you know how to blend your colours right
