Re: Overlaying / Mixing normal maps
Visually it does exactly what it says, making the "pits" of a made-from-2d-source normal map-overlay have sharper values in the deep parts. Is it mathematically correct? who knows, but up rezing your high poly till you can stamp actual fabric fibers into it is dumb as shit and wasteful of time. I very rarely take my high… -
Re: Good editorial on piracy by Stardock
I agree with points made by both sides, and often I can't decide which side to take ethically. I will say though that sometimes it is so much easier or makes more sense to pirate something than to buy it. For example, when I was learning Photoshop way way back in the day I couldn't even come close to paying for a copy, and… -
Re: A quest for improvement? (Warning long and wordy)
I understand where you're coming from, because I feel it is fairly similar to where I'm working at the moment. Chris pretty much nailed it with his post, its something I'm looking at doing as well. Moving to bigger and better studios where I can be pushed, where I can learn more and not just repeat the same old stuff over… -
Re: [Extend Programming] To create you own 3D exporter
Plop plop! Here is the progression : http://a.samavan.com/openGL/SamaTest_A.exe （file size : 120ko, do not need to install, double click on it） Exporter is done with Python from Maya. *.exe file built with Visual C++ express 2008 and openGL Library. To explain quickly, my python script creates the C++ code I need to create… -
Re: [Demo reel] Galen Linnett
cool reel! I agree with Mad though, drop that purple orange and red beveled text. It almost seems ironic to have it there, but i think you could come up with a better design/visual motif :) during the 3rd bit, the hand-cam piece, the static goes on for about 3 seconds too long. Would rather see it static for a second or… -
[Rev-share]Seeking 3D Character Modeler/Animator for Web App Business
CustomToppers is a 3d web application that allows a customer to customize a Cake Topper in the browser that is then 3d printed in color via Shapeways. At this time, the platform is built, but all 3d modeling work and some UX/UI work is still required. While not a direct competitor, heroforge.com is a good representation of… -

This is my second level with the Crysis Sandbox 2 Editor. You can download and play my first level, Utopia. The level is large and takes around 2.5 hours to complete. It has… -
3ds Max vs. Maya nowadays and in the future
Hey guys! I've been using Blender for about 2,5 years now, basically from about my age of 12. 3D art catched my interest and I decided few years later I want to do it as a job. I picked a high school for 3D art. blah blah, history aside, I'm trying to learn an industry standart software now. I was browsing through few… -
Normal Map UV Seam Problem
Hello, I've been trying to work out my normal map problems for about 5 days now. I am getting seams where the uv seams are from viewing with just the (tangent space) normal map applied in marmoset 2. My UVs were unwrapped in Maya. They are mirrored correctly as well (I've tried a version without mirrored UVs as well).… -
Re: floating geometry for normal maps....
This might help, thank the guys at 3d-palace forum for posting this one. Neat-o little placement tool, just do a new script, paste this in there, save it and run it. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> offsetY = 20 globalZero = Point3 0 0 0 globalFirstHit = TRUE globalDistNode = #(undefined,undefined,undefined)…
