A quick recommendation would be to have your sun overhang the facility at an angle, then go into your time of day settings and play with your ray and scattering settings to increase their viability, tweak there colour and change the suns attenuation. It will help make your work the focus of the scene and not the bleaching…
Hey Hanpan, Here's the process I use, assuming I have my low poly mesh finalized and exactly the way I want it... Within Maya 1) Make SURE you're using ALL quads. This is important because Z subdivides every edge of your model by 2, each time you click the "divide" button. Having tris etc can produce weird results that…
FYI looking at a sharp light does not cause retinal detachment. Always ask a doctors advice on medical issues. My mother had a retinal detachment a few years ago. It was kind of funny in a way; they used a gas bubble to lift it into place for surgery. She had a "this end up" arrow on her head and had to lay a certain way…
As I understand it Conan was promised when Jay took over the tonight show he'd have it after X amount of years when Jay's contract was up. To placate them both, Jay didn't want to leave but they had to honor their contract with Conan so they gave him the tonight show and gave Jay the same show he had at an earlier time…
I'll provide some motivations as well. Why? Because I think that explaining WHY a certain image is better or worse is much more informative than just stating a report-number. 1 - A; because the blue hue, technically incorrect white-balanced, gives a colder feeling. 2 - B; though the trees are too white, B is the only one…

Add a new "TAB" using the + sign and choose "Application" then BakeVP. You should then have the bake viewport. I cannot and will…

This set of renders shows multiple angles, including top-down views and structural X-ray perspectives. Materials and textures are still in progress, highlighting the development of architectural…
Make sure to keep yourself busy, and at least 'working' part-time on your skills. I got to be that way when I got laid off from where I worked at last (not a game co). I figured, well at least I'll have more time to work on my portfolio. After a few months of staying up late, waking up even later, I knew that nothing was…
Thanks for the comments guys :) Razorb: Thanks mate :) whats_true: We have considered adding helmet and a gun before, but my mod leader decided not to use them in the end. He didn't want to identify the soldier, nor his nationality - and any kind of equipment would pretty much give it away. Regarding your second comment -…
