Re: Convincing 3d that looks like 2d.... Wow
So apparently that's not an anime but an advertisement for a new type of laser that's being produced by Riken... I'm confused as to their target audience for industrial lasers :D http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/12/03/video-kamikaze-douga-produces-high-quality-anime-pv-future-photon-harima-sacla Looks like they… -
Re: MARI Indie 2.6v5 is now live
You can do multichannel painting in a couple of ways. Option number one which I personally prefer is setting bake behavior to manual. For a specular color setup I have a layer on top of my albedo channel that's all black and a layer on top of my specular channel that's all 0.04 linear. Each of these has a layer mask or… -
Maya final gather blocked by skybox?
Is there any way to tell a model to let final gather pass through it? I'd like to use final gather background colour or image based lighting to create the indirect part of my light rig. The problem is when I put a skybox in with a texture on it, it now blocks the final gather being shot out from the background colour/image… -
Re: Looking for critiques & advice
What texturing program are you using? Substance Painter? I've found it helpful, while workign in that program, to identify the different qualities of the reference and break them down in layers. Take just the wood on this weapon for instance. It is composed of the base color and roughness properties -- that's one layer.… -
Re: Back to Zbrush and Photoshop ?
It's sot of hard to resist , a subject somehow looks ok at close inspection that way. Same issue you have when draw something on a canvas up close and often need a few steps back and try to catch an impression your work lefts in a corner of your eye. While Zbrush does it automatically since you go from low res to high.… -
Re: What is the potential of Python in Archviz - Looking for Ideas and Insights
the problem with OP switching to blender is that the entire archviz space is max based - max is objectively better suited to dealing with anything precise/cad derived as well. I've not touched it in a while but max's python (to me) is similar in feel to pymel in maya It's a lot less stinky than maya.cmds but you're still… -
Re: Lasik
there are 2 proceedures... lasik (cut the flap of your eyeball open) laser the eye, close it back up.... pros: cheap. cons: the flap can tear back open and you can tear your retina or do permanent damage to your eye. wavefront prk (no cutting open of your eyeball) they laser the surface of your eye... pros: no dangerous… -
Re: Brick Wall Material - WIP
as above looks a bit flat, and the grout's too smooth also something overall (like some global grunge layer/layers ) would help tie the bricks to the grout and visa versa. Also looks a little washed out/bleached. -
Re: The Last of Us
It's actually not from what I understand. During E3 a lot of the game outlets got to play behind closed doors and they discussed how different it was for them compared to the shown demo. They have this crazy system with lasers and fancy tech that read the environment that results in it looking so scripted when it actually… -
Re: Cal. 357 M9 Revolver Fanart (WIP Thread)
Honestly, the handle on the reference is a little too round and doughy for my tastes. I agree with @Mossbros that the handle looks a little flat. Another thing I'd add is that the handle finger rest could be a little sharper. A lot of it really depends on what final material you plan on the grip being made out of. I prefer…
