  1. Yea....I think I am just going to scrap it. I mean in blender(to the inexperienced atleast) when you accidentally hit the wrong key or hit shift R instead of Alt-R it does something crazy. then i spend 15 minutes trying to figure out what it was or what button i pressed tongue.png THEN i hit ctrl Z too many times and undo something vital without realizing it. Then three hours later i am on the forums scratching my head thinking "What in the hell went wrong?"

     

    Thanks for the help Dan smile.png

  2. Thanks i will look into downloading rigify, can i get you with a quick question? I have my armature all set but I can't get the mesh to follow it. I looked in the vertex groups in weight painting and alot of the bones are missing from the list. I accidentally duplicated a bone a bunch of times without know it. I deleted them in object mode but they still show up in the vertex groups. For example: Arm.001.R Arm.002.R Arm.003.R and so on...how do i delete them from the vertex groups and add the correct bones? I've been stuck on this for hours blink.png

     

     

    Edit: Hold the phone.....I might have figured it out

     

    Edit: False alarm, i figured out how to take them out from the vertex groups but now i cant add any to it, even when i ctrl-p-automatic weights...WHATS GOING ON??!

  3. I just completed my first ever human model and now I am rigging it. However I have ran into a wall which i can't get around and I have no idea how that wall got there! I have 3 bones for the arm: Upper, Lower, and the ArmIK. I RMB the ArmIK the shift-RMB to add the lower arm to it then i create inverse kinematics. Set the chain length to two. Everything looks dandy yea? well in pose mode when i select the ArmIK to move the whole arm with IT WONT MOVE! I double checked to see if the parent is set to the ArmIK and it is.My only option is to rotate when i click on it but i can't get it to move! I can move the arm with the UpperArm bone but that isn't what is supposed to happen sad.png I did this same process for the leg and it works fine, but the arm for some reason won't work

     

     

    Edit: New problem keep reading!

  5. I really appreciate all of the posts guys, thank you all for sharing your story/thoughts. I realize (even more now smile.png ) success in the Game Industry is isn't a walk in the park and I do not plan to treat it like one. I really don't see myself as one of the many who think they can make a game and then quit at the fist or second wall hit, I am well accustomed to the loss of social life in place of work (I basically lived in the architecture studio tongue.png ). However, i feel like I am behind on my knowledge of programming and general game design, which is why I am considering a University. I think I would learn much faster with structured instruction. For now the plan is to learn as much as I can before enrolling possibly this fall or next spring.

     

    Thanks again for all the input, feel free to continue posting comments (or school recommendations although I think I have on chosen)

     

    Cheers

  6. @xtreampb I downloaded that today, it looked very promising! I could imagine little archers on top ducking as the boulders whizzed a bit too high and then flying up in the air when i zing one at the top and connect with an explosion of rubble and rock biggrin.png

  7. I wanted to make this thread not as a 'which is better there can only be one' but as a source of feedback

     

    on the advantages of going to a university or institute (online as well) for Game Design/Art/Animation. I am

     

    interested in possibly enrolling in a nearby university (Oklahoma Christian University) whose, for what its

     

    worth, Game Design school received an honorable mention from the Princeton Review link here:

     

    http://www.princetonreview.com/top-undergraduate-schools-for-video-game-design.aspx I have my basics

     

    finished while attending Oklahoma State University and 2 years of an architecture degree(decided wasn't

     

    for me). I would really appreciate feedback from anyone who attended some sort of school for anything

     

    game related. Talk about your experience/where you attended/what you liked, didn't like. I would also like

     

    comments from anyone who learned it on their own and how they did so or anything related.

     

    Thanks smile.png

  8. Thanks xtream and aggregor, great tutorials also! Very very helpful : )

    I figured a light source was needed but couldn't understand why it started

    With light without me adding a source. But now I understand :)

  9. I am going through a simple free look tutorial which everything is going smoothly, however I clicked on 'Calculate Lighting' inside the LE Editor and now my scene is dark, I realize i don't have a light source but in the tutorial video there was already shadows where mine had no shadows. So i guess my question is why did the lights already cast shadows in the tutorial video and not in my scene (I have the same code as the tutorial as well). And how do I undo the calculate lighting so i can see my level again.

     

    Sorry about the wordiness smile.png

  10. Haha well i found my box. I was creating the camera before the world tongue.png which is like creating the egg before the chicken....er..chicken before the egg? thanks for all your help tjheldna Red and mike!

  11. I set the camera and box to the same coordinates so I would think there would be something there besides the black screen, does it matter that i cannot build or run any of my programs from debug and only release? plus i still cannot run anything from Leadwerks, including the 'Darkness Awaits' sample. I get the 'blahblahblah/blahblah/darknessawaits.debug.exe file not found. This also pops up on Debug for VS 2010 And thank you for finding that info for me smile.png

  12. Stuck again sad.png It seems i keep running into this error where the 'system cannot find the specified file'. The file is always the debug.exe on whatever project I open. This happens when i try to Build in Debug but not in Release using VS 2010. It also happens when i try to run it from LeadWerks. Building the solution in Release yields a successful build but I run into problems where , for instance, I did a simple program tutorial that creates a window with a box in it. The window appears but no box. Does this have to do with where the files are stored? As in an issue with the E: and C: drives?

     

    This is the output when running in Release after a successful build. This is the Box program where no box appears in the window

  13. Looking for help on an error I keep getting when clicking play on Leadwerks : "Failed to launch "E:\Leadwerks\Projects\New\New.dubug.exe." I also get this error when i try to run it from Microsoft Express 2012. I know it's a simple fix but I am stumped sad.png
