Re: 3D Character artist VS Concept artist -.-
And any 2D artist can be taught to use a 3D app. Most cross over and mix it up in both, but favor 2D. Not so easy to go the other way if all you have is a handful of 3D app noodlin' knowledge. You're assuming that knowing what buttons do when you press them will enable you to make the same art that someone who has artistic… -
Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
Sayanora, did you set the base material to be 100% Self Illumination? Also you might need to bump the "luminance Scale" up to 1000. Also make sure reset the radiosity processing parameters and run it again. Also make sure the "Global Subdivisions Setting" is set to "enabled". Since Radiosity works better with dense meshes… -
Re: Rapid texture iteration (max -to- PS update time.)
hardware wise that 1gb is the bottleneck. Sounds like you know that though. Gotta love those fancy fans too.. I've got some pretty Zalman ones myself haha. XP can handle up to 3gb before it says no more and an extra gb deffinately improve performance. Can't say it will get you where you want to be but again that is a… -
Re: WHAT IS A GOOD LAPTOP FOR BEGINNER?
Bought this portable solution on sale three months ago, around $230AUD off RRP (Australian dollars) totaling $1,880 spent purchasing it which I think is equivalent to $1400USD thereabouts. Although slightly down on RAM but atm does what I need it todo with the software I've currently installed i.e. SPainter, MTB4, Blender… -
How do I add subdivisions in Toolbag?
I seemed to have forgotten how to add subdivisions to my mesh. Here's what I've done so far: 1. Import sphere from Toolbag folder 2. Add displacement map 3. Enable wireframe in rendering tab 3. Expand Subdivision panel 4. Adjust tessellation slider for both Flat and PN Triangles By adjusting the tessellation slider in the… -
Mysterious specular/normal seams
I imported a few meshes from 3ds max into UDK to test out their normal maps. In the last few days I've resolved a whole bunch of problems in my process thanks to polycount, but I can't seem to find anything about this very last defect. As soon as I enable a normal map or a specular map on my material, I get what look like… -
UE4- Interiorxc
This is my latest work using UE4 and Blender. Interior scene textures by hand and some photo textures used as well. Majority of the assets were created by me with some assets which are free models modified, cleaned up and textured from scratch. For this project, I created dynamic textures for majority of the assets which… -
Re: Maya randomly locks me out of selection?
Further to Joopson's idea: Maybe you have sticky keys enabled accidentally? It's a Windows level feature that keeps modifier keys pressed even when you're not holding them. I'd also say it's possible you have a stuck key, but you said it happens on another computer so that can't be it, unless you're using the same… -
Re: Stick with Blender or switch to 3ds Max?
Blender is very capable software, nearly anything you could make in Max can also be made in Blender and vise versa. Learning Max may help you get work in a studio that uses it, but ultimately the quality of your work is more important then the software you use. Max does have much better viewport performance then Blender… -
Re: Why does Maya 2015 crash when opening %temp% crashes?
It's tough to really pinpoint crashes since Maya can crash for a multitude of reasons. I know I reverted back to 2013 from 2015 after experiencing several crashes after deleting history with smooth preview enabled. Sometimes it's not possible to know the "why" of a crash but instead just find a way to recover your files…
