Re: Interesting Talk on the Death Of Consoles
Lets just looks at some facts here: 1. Current game engines in order to stay competitive are becoming compatible with damn near all devices. Unreal and unity are both running in flash. It may take years to reach the graphical fidelity we have today, but its becoming easier and easier to port your game to almost anything… -
Re: Extracting specular and reflectivity maps in Zbrush.
Most matcaps aren't going to care about the position of the light (which doesn't even exist as far as I understand), just the normal of the surface. If the image is telling it to put a bright specular highlight towards the top-right, then it will always be at the top right of the mesh no matter how you rotate it. Like… -
Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
The only thing I have to add is that technically, modeling reels are pointless. If you're unable to sell your model in a screenshot, you won't be able to sell it for a place to work, let alone a video that shows your model form all sides and thus, a seam or two. UNLESS, you're also showing off your… -
Re: How Do You Make a Flow Map?
Ok, first things first! There is such a thing as a TC_VectorDisplacementmap compression setting! Holy crap! Totally missed this one. It must have been implemented in the last year or so. The reason why it is not being distorted properly is because you need to uncheck sRGB and set the UnpackMin values to -1. That would be… -
Re: [WIP] Oberkommando West - Historical - Ardennes improvised ambush pattern
Reply by reallymadmaveric · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Company of Heroes 2: WAR PAINT contestMy humble advice is do what you feel looks best. Historicaly when the factories had the correct paint supplies they would do a set camo pattern before the vehicle was dispatched. These patterns were subject to having the correct paint (exact color pigments varied upon which factory produced it and when) in stock and the… -
Re: Arrrr, the piracy poll!
Luckily i do own all the tools i use daily, mostly because im still using old versions, and dont upgrade often. Im still working on maya 2012, and with Photoshop i went from cs3 to cs6 to cut down on costs. But the costs are fucking insane, im just now starting to make money from freelanceing, and since im not getting the… -
Re: Practice ZBrush Sculpt: Denzel Washington
Wow, thanks for all the feedback everyone!!! I never expected to get such helpful and fast response to my post. I really appreciate it! I am still reworking the sculpt and have not made a ton of progress so I am not posting WIP shots of the model at this time but hopefully I will soon. @frell- yep I will try and pay closer… -
Re: Smoothing groups, Tangents and Binormals, Triangulate
Hi, I'm very sorry for the delayed response on our forums. I posted there as well. Substance Painter will read the soften/harden data set in Maya when you export as FBX. This data is used to shade the mesh in the Painter viewport similar to maya based on vertex normal smoothing. In maya you are smoothing/hardening the… -

Re: ugly normals
software doesnt rate people, being hardcore or softcore, it doesnt matter, we are all the same dumb event triggers. Say you use some special maxscripts or not, at the end the backend is responsible to not corrupt your stuff. Maxscript doesnt give you any pointer access, you cannot fuck up memory within a mesh unless…
