Re: Smooth foliage like in Breath of the Wild / Europa by Helder Pinto - Mini tutorial
I actually have a parameter in the material setup to darken the leaves towards the center of the tree, but It doesn't look the way I wanted, so I only added a slight darkening. There is also actually a way to fake this ao effect cheaper than dfao. You can take the distance to the center of the x and y component of the… -
Re: Warcraft style Tower
Looks cool so far. Get some lighting in there and a better camera angle. Shameless plug for a little write up on vertex lighting in Maya I did. That type of lighting works great with this style. http://blog.environmentartist.com/?p=205 Textures looks pretty solid so far. The bricks read a bit better than the roof tiles and… -
Re: Dubstep
Come now, someone was bound to say it. I got well and truly fed up with dubstep the first time it was popular back in about 2005. It got played and talked up endlessly on the electronic music radio stations and TV Shows to the detriment of more interesting tracks and artists. True it didn't have the aggressive… -
Re: Where are the doom 3 models?
Paul that was a very interesting read, I'm certainly convinced that quake3 was the pinnacle of modding, and team arena could have been a little bit easier to build teams for. As someone who lead a (quake3 based) mod team for 3 years, watching the ground slip away from under ones feet as new games came out totally diluting… -

Re: Incubus WIP - Critiques Requested!
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Looking very nice actually, though isn't an incubus a male sexual predator? What you're modeling looks more like a Satyr to me. Also, the tail is most definitely in the wrong spot. Tails typically come directly off the butt (IE vertically) and then curve out since they're an extension of the spinal cord. This image is a… -
Re: UFC 101
There is talk of Anderson dropping the Middleweight Belt and moving up to Light Heavyweight to face new competition. That would be pretty exciting. He's beaten everyone there is to beat in his weight class already. I would love to see him fight Rampage, Evans, Tito (I heard he signed back), Wanderlei. Could also do a Hendo… -

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
Hi guys! There's a lot of great stuff here. Here's my model right now. I haven't done any of the foliage or ground yet, since I have to learn those skills before trying it out 😂. I used this challenge to try and make a model that's as efficient as I could (tri-wise). I was able to get it down to 10,360 tris, with the most… -
Best Node Method for reducing color range for Detail Maps.
Need to fit color range into half of its current. (So like 4 bit vs 8bit) How would you solve this? We are using a Blend with a 16F 50% grayscale at linear dodge. Then doing a 16F grayscale of that result with Multiply. At the end we reduce to 8bit. It gives us close results, but I keep thinking we can do this with less…
