the reason I used fresnel nodes instead of a colored specular was because the fresnel nodes react to camera angle the way real iridescence works rather than a static color regardless of viewing angle. The fresnel is computationally heavy and I really just did this to see if it could be done accurately rather than making…
Chill folks, nothing apocolypic is going to happen. All that is happening is a massive quake (which has apparently moved the earths axis by 10 inches) went off. Massive damage to Japan and major loss of life. My sympathy to anyone affected. However, this doesn't mean the end of the world. that you tube vid is a fucking…
Costume design is a discipline all to itself and needs special specific attention and study by the artist just like learning anatomy or architecture. In a perfect world you would have a fashion designer working along side a character concept artist. (I remember vaguely that many Japanese studios like Square having a…
I don't agree that making things less detailed and adding fog is a good idea. Unless you have fog appearing in front of the sprites or 3d models and unless it's moving like a mist it won't look like mist. Making things less detailed never makes something look better either, the only exception might be if you're creating…
I'm happy to see the gamers feed back and your own, whatever it might be. On regards to the price, I may have to think about it some more - but as facemakr is only a week old it's still early days, and may not be for everyone. When the Japanese site goes up the reaction will be different once again, as ¥5000 or so is…
pretty much this. At the core there usually sits an Autodesk product. The only shops I knew of, which weren't brand new startups, and which were majority non-Max / non-Maya shops were the ones who used XSI. Which got bought too and then stuff moved to Maya or Max. I remember we were approached by some Japanese clients who…
1st April 2019 This is a good point to put this project on hold so I can recharge my batteries by doing some smaller objects. I'd welcome any comments people on composition and lighting specifically, but anything else would be lovely too. Current Personal Critiques: * Red is pretty but overwhelming. Needs more variety. *…
Not much here, just updating to make myself feel ike there is progress after having to sit around not doing 3d for a couple days. Had to replace the motherboard on my pc, but everything's ship shape now. I added a little and changed some design a little bit. Will update the low poly and get baking done tomorrow then. Not…
also, i have to ask all the people defending this; is there a line anywhere on what should and shouldnt be in a videogame? can i make a racist game, where you play a nazi killing only black people, and they are shown as less worth than whites? is it ok to make a game where raping girls is the goal? (blazier already wrote…
@LimitedSlipStudios You asked to name one branch of government that did anything well. I'm replying that the BC provincial government did just that.
