Whenever I run Mental Ray to RTT an Amb Occ or normal map, I'm getting "unable to allocate memory" errors mental ray crashes. I tried to work around this by rendering a skylight in the scanline renderer, but its telling me it doesn't have enough memory to build the lighting information. I have 2 gigs of RAM and about 6…
Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the digital art world, haven't used much color until I bought photoshop 9. I'm not that good with a regular pencil either but I'm trying to get better and I can't do that all by myself. Heres 2 recent works i've done. I'm asking for critiques and helpful hints or links you can show me that…
Ok so i got a bunch of free computer crap from a friend, and im trying to set up two scsi drives(9 gig seagate and 10gig IBM) on an IBM/Adaptex AHA-2940 Fast/Wide Ultra SCSI adaptor card.... So the thing is i can access the drive tools and stuff and the drives show up i formated them but i have no idea how to get them to…
'sup polycount? I posted this piece a while back while it was still a WIP under my old account, and finally got around to "finishing" it. CC welcome! I'm also still trying to finalize on a definitive presentation style, so any comments on that would be especially appreciated. I always feel really unsure about a lot of…
Her head is super big compared to the rest of her body, and her arms look very thin and frail. I think the Fable games mostly stick with standard to heroic proportions: 8-9 heads. It might be beneficial to block out the full character/costume in the concept phase if your machine is bogging you down while working in zbrush.…
Anywhere between 4 hours and 14. I only pull such ridiculous stints as the latter regularly if I'm getting carried away with a personal project though, rather than any real work or just study/commission. I'd say my absolute minimum daily right now is 4, with 3 hours on commission/freelance, 1-2 hours on personal…
I think this was said somewhat in jest but just to put some ideas out there for anybody who is in need of some extra cash... i make an extra ~ $20k each year dog boarding (that's pretty much having one dog most days of week watched all year long). It requires work from home but since that is becoming a reality for more…
yeah , I think the whole fitness thing would be a bot of a non starter. When I joined I used to run 2 or 3 miles a day and could do 9 or 10 chin ups and yeah the military police basic training was quite demanding to say the least . I wasn't in that long anyway, wasn't really my cup of tea. got my nose broken fighting…
Hello! I've been posting daily sculpts for two weeks into my sketchbook but I realize thats probably not the forum for feedback. I'll post all the ones Ive done so far into this master post and then trickle them out as I work my way through the second part of this month of sculpting. To not flood the page I'll just post…
look forward to seeing the Tiger revamp,since you are a proper hard surface modeller :) the good thing with uv mapping the bevels is that blender does a reasonable job of it and IMHO Eevee does a great job with car/shiny shaders . There are plenty of procedural approaches for the camo pattern , using 'object 'rather than…
