Re: I cant see normal maps in the 3ds Max Viewport
Sorry about the misunderstanding above. You did admit to a felony though. You should edit your post. :) Yes, it's displaying for me perfectly as well. Max 2018/Nitrous default/1060gpu. Have you tried rendering the maps? Just another step in troubleshooting. ART physical material is set up for a metal/rough workflow. As… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 4
You can't just use a spec, norm, and diff. You have to play around with linear interpolation, multiply, and other things to create a good shader. I suck at making shaders, but I threw this together in a few seconds with a metal shader I had awhile back. Feel free to use it, but I suggest changing the values around for a… -
Re: [Portfolio] - David Finlay, Vehicle & Environment Artist
Hey dfinlay, This looks to be a mix of game res models and high end shaders/rendering if im not mistaken? I noticed that you are using Vray and that a lot of your renders have an uneven noise distribution, especially in the shadows. You should look into using a linear workflow to even out the noise in the darkest areas.… -
Re: Max strange uv bug
Could be a couple of things causing this: A) Mip-mapping (or texture filtering) means your texture edges are being blended across the edges. This happens by default on all textures but you can turn it off on a per-texture basis in the material settings. Just change the "filter" type to "linear" (i think it's quadratic by… -
Re: Competition Animation Critique - Feedback Much Appreciated!
Bummer about the results, but keep at it. In terms of feedback, be careful of too much twinning in the poses and action. -The girl for instance shrugs both shoulders, lifts and lowers both hands and so on, almost as if the body is mirrored. -Also, you'll want to finese your limbs more so that the viewer can't tell which… -
Re: Biped Workbench/Curve Editor Help!!
1. Forget about editing curves on the biped. Biped is rooted in quaternion rotations, and the Euler option is a terribly implemented after thought. 2. Play with the TCB. J/K :) That probably won't work, at least it won't be easy. I'm going to give you a simple solution, and you're not going to like it, but it's the easiest… -
Re: Hug your kid at home, but belt them in the car. The automobile thread!
(not my actual car) I got one of these, 2005 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan Linear. Nothing more then an overpriced jacked up Opel Vectra including the shitty craftsmanship if you ask me. Gawd, how I hate what GM has done to Saab. What I want is a full EV version of the Jag CX-75 But I like where Saab is heading! Saab Phoenix… -
Re: Hitman
Good to finally see some stealth gameplay, even if it's not to the level of Blood Money. Considering this is probably the opening mission I wouldn't hold it against it. It's made to draw you in and demo well. I'm sure they'll retain all of the best parts of the previous games once you get down to the assassination… -
Re: How vital is the knowledge of shaders
I've definitely found having shader knowledge useful over the years. It's let me get in on tech/art R&D, got me some bits of freelance money from writing shaders and it means I can throw together a shader that does exactly what I want rather than having to use workarounds. Even if you can't write raw cg/hlsl/glsl, I'd… -
Re: UE4 Hand-Painted Environment: Temple on a Hill
this has come along very nicely! Some critiques here... just small ones (hopefully) - Maybe a little dirt under the rocks would be nice, as the harsh cut between grass to rock breaks it for me a little. - The linear path has a nice touch in your latest screenshot since it's coming up in a curve (line of influence and all)…
