Re: ArchViz Environment - NIght Scene
Nono, thank you for your input, it takes considerably more time to write something like this than just "thumbing up" 1) actually, this is plannes out by a friend of mine, who studies architecture, i only visualised this thing. 2.) Actually, this is a displacement map you see. I will model something like this next time, you… -
Re: Don’t use gamma on normal maps
Ugh, yeah lots of tools don’t display normal maps the right way in their thumbnails/viewers. Here’s another tip: Normalize your textures! I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe these filters can help you! Normal maps should always be… -
Friday night fights: CodeRED: Alien Arena
Every friday night, 10pm EDT, a few of us are gathering at the Forsakenweb server to play some Alien Arena. It's all in fun, and nobody takes themselves too seriously. We've had some pretty fun matches the last couple of weeks. If you don't have the game, get it HERE and be sure to get the CRX 4.01 patch and new maps. And… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Welcome on the forum! Looking at the images, I would make sure those border UVs are straightened, since the bevel is very thight. Perhaps increase bevel width in highpoly, so there's more information to capture. Make sure to check at intended viewing distance, it might be that edge is generally too tight. I think this… -
Re: UE5.6 stylized portal shader help — Ratchet & Clank inspired
Small update / extra question: Thanks again for the suggestions. I looked at a few portal VFX tutorials, but most of them are more focused on Niagara particles or gameplay portals. What I’m still struggling with is mainly the material/shader structure itself. Right now, my biggest issue is that the portal still feels too… -
Maya Hardware Lighting issue
Anyone have an idea about whats going on here. Im in hardware view and I threw a spot light in my scene. Random peices of geometry seem to be getting the light source...but not all surfaces. The main peices that arent are the wall of the right building and the ground. IT seems to happen to large pieces of geomtry thats the… -
Re: The right CPU for a workstation
I wouldn't advise you to jump the gun right now on making a new pc. The 8700k is a great choice for its multicore/per core speed. I offers a balance for multitasking/rendering and gaming. I think you should wait until the end of 1H of 2018 and see the offerings for the z390 chipset and for the new lineup of zen+ am4… -
Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
Hello ! My setup is highly customized, in part inspired by habits from both Max and Maya while also keeping it compatible with Blender unique systems (like the off-hand manipulation discussed above). I started by first using the default keys and navigation for a while, then modified them manually to have Maya-style… -
Re: Lighting Portfolio Feedback
To add to the already mentioned critiques, looking at the Sun Temple work, I think there's some inconsistency in the light directions and colors. The day time lighting should be brighter and there should be more direct sunlight hitting the foreground statue on the right (depending on sun direction). I say this because the… -
Re: {Finished} 1996 Toyota Crown Comfort.
That is because I've modelled them to be functional like the rest of the lights. They look funny right now since the entire assembly is marked transparent due to some material overlap with the other lights on the car at the moment. I'll have that fixed once I manually make the alpha layer in Gimp. As for the lights I made…
