I am not sure there are any freely available. I wish there were some nice PBR viewport shaders for max. Meanwhile, wouldn't the built-in mental ray and it's custom shaders suffice if you are just looking for some portfolio renders? I know it's not real-time, but the Realtime and Offline rendering worlds have been…
Thanks for the info gents. I have a monitor currently that i am using and something odd happen about 2-3 months ago, it sort of went out. So for some odd reason i just turned it off, left it like that for about 2 months and just turned it back on and it works now... how odd. What is wrong with it is that it makes colors…
Thanks everyone for your input. I already have a second monitor 1080p that I use with my laptop atm. I'll look into on of the korean ones. A few questions. Zac looking at your build, you didn't include a cooler, is that intended? I added a sound card too (or is this not needed?), on the low end. I swapped the 256 SSD with…
Okay so a quick update, just finished skinning and a quick IK rig.. might add in some spine handles but not too sure. Basically the art director has taken this greybox, which has been quickly retopped (from 50k to 3k) lol so it looks a little different. Now he will make his own film ready rig and what not. Also for my…
Thanks for both the Crits and the Complements lol. I've been working on the female, and uploaded a vid to my FB, but no pics as of yet. Didn't know that about the spine.... Will adjust if the rig doesn't break in the process, thanks MiAlx. Tried TS, It was what my professors told us to use, but didn't like what I saw. I do…
That is excellent. Good job finding someone who cares about the same stuff too! I thought some more about CG being one's 'life'. Today I plan to work on the planes of the face a bit, and last night I was thinking about setting up a good long day of doing nothing but quick face sculpts. Usually my idle thoughts are about…
As an AI character, my main note would be that the anticipation pose change could be stronger. Other than the tendrils doing a wave and then going back to the idle pose, the tail is the only big change. The slight crouch isn't enough to sell the antic when the player is in the frenzy of combat. Anticipation is a hard thing…
Just went and applied some of your suggestions, although they don't make much of a visible difference since it's a bit late into the workflow to do some of those fixes (although the inclusion of the caruncle alone changed her look a lot). Her epicanthic fold is baked into the normal map and I don't know how much I can work…
Yea, cyclocross wont work, already explored that option. I have to ride on streets where its so bad, some of the potholes go down to the level below the pavement covering. Thats about 5 inches deep at least (12.7cm). Add this is at night when I cant always see them.... Even if these cyclocross disk brakes fit, could they…
Ooh, cool. The speckles are creating too much random noise, I think. iirc, the noise in The Banner Saga is very tightly controlled. I'd have to find more refs though idk. What I can say for sure, though, is that you currently have a huge amount of tangent lines being caused by the flag! This article briefly goes over…
