If you're using Scanline (and you might as well) you want to disable Global Super Sampling as well as Anti-Aliasing. I really don't see an advantage to Mental Ray when you water down a render this much? The only thing that Mental Ray could offer over scanline is maybe adding a mental ray AO shader to your material? It…
Thanks Joseph, Selaznog:) I'd love to work more on character concepts sometime! atm though, portfolio work calls x] Here's a concept I've been working on. It's based on a scene from one of my favorite books, First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks. The characters are searching for a powerful relic in an ancient fortress…
Haha we're really happy that you like it! Before anybody pays for The Vale, when it is complete, you will be able to play the Alpha version later this year, so that you can get first hand experience with the Horror that we have in store. It's a risky move indeed, but we are more than confident in our work, and are 100%…

So far I managed to obtain the "pure" light projection, and I'd like to add on top a caustic effect using the glass lens in front of the light sources that are mesh emitters (can't use…

Hopefully this is a simple one, I've got an asset for use in a game and I need to add the model bake onto a texture. I've done this before but it used to just be me setting the bake to multiply and layering it on. However I've been told that the proper way to add a bake to a texture is to layer on a multiply layer at 50%…

Didn't enroll for the fall semester. - Broke up with girlfriend of 3 years. Went on to bang lots of chicks. - Left Maine for the summer and spent most of it between Fayetteville, NC…
Looking good man! here are a few thoughts i have so far. 1. First possible solution(if you choose not to do #5) is to do like you did on the other side of it, and eliminate the following geo. 2. are those portions floating for a reason(can't see edge lines there)? It looks beveled enough to unwrap in a single island, which…
