A sneak peek at a Lighting-centric thing I'm working on - I'm quickly making very modular parts of a designer fashion "flagship" store, and lighting them fairly close to reality, but a tiny bit exaggerated and within reasonable technical parameters:
Good idea. Already made a summary post in my own thread so I can have something that I can access quickly. Here is my (what I wish would be a) submission in case anyone cares. :P
Thanks alot fore the advice. Textures are quickly becoming the most difficult part of the process. The light model on the pipes is phong. I'm multiplying the highlight onto a blurred noisy texture reflection so that the reflected highlights appear to be be lighting the surface.
Accidentally uploaded an older turnaround so I quickly fixed that. JadeEyePanda, thanks for the imgur suggestion and the off-hue idea. Color is a weak area for me so if someone could suggest some colors to go with I would be grateful.
It works perfectly, thank you!, and yup I am using blended normals, without it she looks like some sort of cake faced monster. I'll check out the manual, I downloaded it but only quickly glanced over it.
thx, throttlekitty, will have to try that out. :) just quickly checked the maps (in 3dcoat) from the xnormal bake to the lowpoly...no diffuse paint yet, just normal and AO: attack of the killer phallic-check (1-2, check,check)! :poly122:
I actually found this pretty useful in Maya as well, when trying to quickly edit on a per vertex level and you can't do it all at once. Yet to find a script for this in blender..bit out of my depth to do it in python.
I have a dropbox folder that I organize to my needs. I've set it up in a way that helps me navigate it quickly in terms of the items I usually try to find when I am working. Is that what you mean?
Holy shit thanks for the feedback guys, very helpful!! Heres a lil animation i knocked up quickly, "Save target as" the image... I was lazy so i ripped the texture from the painting on my websites splashpage haha.
"Your practically running a Xbox 360... Amazingly it prices around 550-600$ " So that would be 1200$ for an xbox360 equivalent? That shit better get cheaper real quickly, otherwise i see consoles taking over the market entirely.
