Hi all!
This might be a strange question, but what would be the normal texture
size today when creating content for games?
I'm trying to learn a new profession and need to test out the basics
at home before I jump out into the void :)
Also, would unity be a good practice platform? Or any other rec
Also, if and old dog like me that knows everything and nothing, where
would be the best starting point? Conversion of "knowledge".
Or rather "don't learn this, totally useless" :)
Regards
Stefan

Yeah, same hunch here.
Unless the performance expectations are in the multiple characters
real-time concurrently, in which case I think neither way is gonna get
there usually.

I'm sorta , kinda sure that's a dead end for a custom node. You might be

Thanks guys for all answers.
I decided to handle it with deformer. I think it is reasonable to handle
it, and easy. It is just shame Unity3D doesn't support shape animation : /
Thanks

I found that you need to read the docs on the templates and maybe even open
them in a text editor to see what parts are supposed to be what. Some are
meant for IK and some FK and you need to make sure you tag the correct
parts for each.

If you're using MOTOR, I find BVH to be more stable than C3d, though C3d
tends to give better results when it works.
This is an area I wish got a little more love. Especially with a crowd
system.

Yeah, the crown one. MOTOR kept blowing it up, but I'm sure I just did

What's the easiest way to get some more animations onto the Default
Pedestrian? The rigs in the menus don't fit his scale and I rather have
some IK in there than try to FK the whole thing. I don't have a lot of time
to make a rig, I just need something simple.

In the case of faces we used enveloped faces with nulls driving the envelopes.

Make sure your boked shader is disabled... it should still return the sample

Where should this plugin be installed and where can I find the

I think I have an older file that isn't comparable or I am just not

We've been running PySide in Softimage for awhile now. There have been
some small issues, but for the most part it seems to work. There are
definitely some strange cases with the way PySide interacts with Python's

Hi guys,
We've been using PySide in Soft on Linux and Windows for a couple of months
now and as Stefan said, the major pain was to compile Qt and PySide to get
the missing shiboken module.
I used Qt 4.8.4, PySide 1.1.2 compiled against Python 2.5 with gcc 4.1.2
(Linux) and Python 2.6 x64 with VC20
Yes there are some addons available. I think the most advanced one is
Megafiers. They only have exporters for Max, Maya, Blender and LW
though. I think you can manually export the shapes though.

as far as I know, i never seen any shape animation working out from any 3D
packages, whatever if it is Unreal engine or Unity, only skinned geometries
are accepted.
Maybe there is some tools on the unity asset store that will let you do
something like that, but not natively, sadly :)

Checked it all around and looks like only rigged face works.
It is still possible to get nice details in facial animation with null
controls only.

Hey Dan long time!
I'm not sure if Unity support blend shapes. My knowledge of Unity is
extremely limited but from what I've heard from some sources is that
most of the gaming platforms these days don't support blend shapes. I've
been told that the face rigs need to be skinning based. I'd love
Would love to try it out Steven but I don't have time right now :(
I prefer to use PySide instead of PyQT so this is very welcomed.

Best solution is to go with pure null animations instead of shapes. A bit
limiting but..
