Re: Improve details on older model
The R and G CHannel hold all the zdepth information you need. Just go into the channels and copy them into own layers. Now duplicate them and invert the duplicates. Now change the blending mode to something that suits your needs (lighten most of t he time does it for me) also, put another layer beneath the lowest one with… -
Question regarding Lods and drawcalls
Hello, I was wondering if LOD models usually increase the drawcalls in a scene? the models I am making are fairly low poly, when does one decide if creating lods is worth it? and if they do increase draw calls then if models are fairly low already would it be worth forgoing the lods? thanks in advance!

Re: Treasure Chest (W.I.P)
yeah I'd agree with the rest about the gold, I guess it would make sense if there was a very bright light source nearby that would cause the gold to really shine. Since the chest itself seems little old I would tone it down and rough the surface a little bit (as if the the golden plates were gently hammered on the wood -… -

Re: Maya Crease Tool Vs Holding Edges
On a somewhat related topic, what are your guys workflows for a sculpting pass on a model built with regular old SubD methods (support loops / edge chamfers on corners and the like)? I've only tried it on a few models to date, but since the distribution of polygons is so uneven, you need to subdivide lots of times in order… -
Re: Texture baking features?
Pretty sure you can dump that with Arnold RTT - any of the AOVs should be poop-outable . It's was possible with mental ray in max back in the good old days too -

Hello ! It's been some time I've been looking at the amzing works done on this forum and decided to show some of my recent work, it was more an exercice for anatomy, clothes making, lowpoly budget character, and have a grasp to substance painter which I did use but not that much. In my work I decided to give a shot with…
