It IS nice to have that kind of cash. I make so much money that I've started stuffing my pillows with $100 bills - the $50s just weren't fluffing up the way I like. Still, I should share the wealth. Send me your address and I'll hook you up with tix for a few dozen showings of Human Centipede. Be sure to let us all know…
I see this thread has been moved from General Chat, not sure why? The title of the event I guess....maybe we need to call it "Digital Exposé"? Anyway, I just thought you might like to see this Hair Card tutorial from Airship Images, its from 50 minutes and thanks for Tomos Hywel Evans, its been a great fun day, enjoy the…
What's your base color value here? The phone body and cable both look super dark which is making it hard to get much of a lighting read on those parts. You really shouldn't go 30-50 sRGB. If you look at this chart, you can see the only thing that's super dark is pure coal:…
I don't see a real reason for using so many materials. Just group some pieces together and make them fit the uv space. You shouldn't export something with idk 50 materials for a game engine or something like that, it will make just way too many drawcalls for no reason. You can have quite a lot of details with even 1…
All you need to do is change the design a bit and you are free and clear from copyrights. That's why Counter Strike has the Desert Eagle and not the IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark XIX, which is the gun it is based on. The real life gun does not have slits down the barrel on the .50 cal versions, the CS version does.…
Hey Fatman, if you dont have any experience in rendering you can learn Marmoset, Keyshot or mentalray.. If not, you can buy this pack here for about 50 bucks and it has many already set up renders, you just have to import your mesh in 3ds max and apply the material on it and then hit the render button.. Here is the link:…
They aren't shady, it's a famous site with some of the best prices on the internet. My brother bought his copy there, the premium edition (standard edition + season pass). He received the key instantly :). What i don't support are retail stores that can be considered like "stealers". Steam is one of them that sells you the…
I don't really know what it takes to be a concept artist but I really like your stuff. It took me about 50 applications to land this job. I pretty much applied to every studio I could find, regardless of whether or not they were actually advertising any positions. Just keep applying and don't stop making art in the…
Hey Joe! Setting Intensity and Fresnel to 0 still achieves the same result of the Albedo being blacked out. As a test, I imported the Crazy Sailor Toolbag materials from an existing Toolbag scene, and swapped the textures, and the albedo shows up there. So my assumption is that I somehow made the material wrong, or I'm…
Object 1 - Plant The aim of this project is to make things fast and as optimized as possible, whilst still looking good. I have written how long each step took. My reference pictures Model - 50 mins Low poly tris: 527 UVing - 27 min I've got no packing addon so getting it just right was long :( . Texturing (substance…
