Re: 3ds max vs maya ( again! :( )
Why are you trying to convince your "friend" not to switch to Maya? It's in an artists' best interests to be familiar with many packages, so switching once in a while seems like a healthy and smart thing to do. I won't get into the details of which is better again, too me the small differences in different packages are… -
Re: BRAINSTORM: What's sort of collaborative projects could we do as a community?
Ah that's unfortunate then aesir. The idea sounds cool from a community stand point. i'd love to be able to see a whole bunch of random art mashed together and get a chuckle out of it.

Re: The value of money and games
I think its weird to messure the value of games(or any media) in time spent on them. that logic would put the price of a football trough the roof. I don't think that all the time spent on a game can be credited to the developer either. for example a lot of MMOs is good or not depending on the community around it. I have… -

Re: sigh... crysis...
For good normal map use check out Assassin's Creed or CoD 4, the CoD4 characters have less polys than the CoD 2 ones, but the normal maps make them look so much better. Assassin's Creed lighting really makes their normalmaps look great too. They didn't throw polygons at everything like Crytek did (although to be fair in… -

Re: My First 3D project. Your Thoughts? thanks in advance
Kudos on the work, and welcome to Polycount! I worked 6 years at Wayfair, helping lead the 3D team to make environments and renders like this. We developed a bunch of guidelines for how to make and light and shoot scenes. First thing, the lighting is very warm, not matching the reference. I’d suggest adjusting it brighter,… -
How to - Particle material affected by how many particles are behind it.
I'd like to create a mask for my particle material based on how many particles are behind the current drawing particle. Basically it would be a depth mask but rather than being based on scene depth, it would just take into account the other particles. If the particle looks behind it and sees nothing then it draws black on… -
