Re: I'll know it when I see it
I solve this by making it obvious upfront in the contract, that changes beyond the original spec cost X amount per hour. There's a great section on this issue, along with sample contracts that help solve it, in the GAG book. Every freelance artist should have this book. The contract can be as simple as you like, no need… -
Change rig after animation has already started?
Hi ppl, I just wonder what solutions there might be out there to solve this case, if you wanna change a character rig (esp. mgear rig) after the animation has already started and animators have already produced animations that you don't want to put in the trash bin... Since (as far as I know) iterative work is quite… -
Re: I'm thinking 3rd party ought to be treated better, an article worth reading in troubling times.
And because I know that nobody will actually read articles like that, let me break it down barney style: Business problems stem from people problems. So if you want to solve a problem, you have to understand the variables involved. Which is people. So it's useless to be discussing numbers and proposing solutions if we… -
Re: How to make a hard surface low poly for baking, easily?
I see, but why did it worked when I removed the sharp edges, but left the top of the button as a separate island? I guess it's because my auto smooth is at 60°? Also I've seen videos of hard surface modelling in which they don't separate the uv of cubes shape, so I'm still not sure why I'd need to make hundreds of island… -
Re: Who are your art influences and why?
For me, I really can't get into the stuff that's done today. I feel like the older stuff was much more spot on. Frazetta was mentioned and is an obvious one. I like the guys from that generation and before. Hal Foster being another one. Hal Foster Jeff Jones NC Wyeth Howard Pyle Leyendecker Berni Wrightson (a bit more… -
Re: Cryexport issue
3.3.5 is pretty old... is upgrading to at least 3.5.8, the last version of the free SDK, an option for you? It might not solve your problem but it could be worth a try if you don't have a bandwidth cap. 3.6 which is available on Steam is the first version to introduce physically-based rendering which is a step up in visual… -
Re: Issues with foliage.
You should somehow disable mip mapping on the opacity texture or to force it to stay sharper. There are several ways for doing this. First you can try setting the mip gen setting to be set some of the "sharpen" settings. Or to separate it into an alpha channel of one of the textures that you may not want to mip. Any of… -
Re: Everyone gets one! AR-15 / VLTOR M4!
what the.. Ok, problem solved, when I said before that welding didnt solve it that was because I was only attempting to weld geometry around the area of the problem, selected all and welded and it got rid of it. It was one vert causing the problem, instead of accepting it and moving on, I looked for that damn vert and… -
Re: Free tool to generate normal maps - nMaker2
walreu in nMaker2 I used a different algorithm to generate the emboss. But I also used some tricks to handle the image before applying the emboss. I use some overlaps as a way to earn a extra volume, but if the base of map is not good, these overlays will not solve much. The nMaker1 is not much different of the NVIDIA… -
Re: LandScape material (Normal-detail blending)
Hi Eric, Thanks for helping out!!! So the LayerBlend node is newer node? I thought all those new blend_node such as color_burn / Blend_screen / Blend_Softlight were new!!! But I just checked it out and you can add layers and change blend type. I have been doing research regarding tutorials Wenda made (Landscape Tutorial)…
