Re: WIP realistic face attempt 1
Thank you so much for all feedback! Its definitely helped a lot. - And you know how it is when youre so used to the model that you cant see whats wrong anymore. Thats whats happened with the skincolor. I found out that it was imported as "automatic", and not gamma 1.0. So with only that i had a pretty monumental difference… -
Re: Architectural Pre-Vis
I work in an architecture firm doing the viz work, and I had to have a masters degree to be even considered. However, this is a very very large world wide firm so the old boy architectural network dictated the degree requirements. I also had to be LEED certified along with a member of ASAI (American Society of… -
Re: Linear space tools for photoshop?
I don't think you need to worry about working in linear space while creating textures. I think the only change in a linear lighting workflow is how rendering engines calculate lighting. In the past (and mostly in the present) game engines would calculate lighting based on gamma corrected images. Now they are lighting… -
Re: 3 Wip Environments Need and Want feed back please
For the rendering issue, as far as it's game art, you can't render it in Mental or Vray, you have to check CE 3/UDK/Unity. Also on 3dtotal are lot of good maybe not tutorials, but tip's for the lightning and texutring process. This is very good site. +1 ^^ -
Re: Foliage - alphas vs geometry
I first heard about this in a discussion about Arch Viz renders, particularly Alex Roman's 'The Third and Seventh'. Of course that's 3dMax and Vray - very different to a real-time game engine. Chatting with other devs I heard that some guys are modelling more detail into (lets say) a tree and relying less on alpha mapped… -

Re: Anyone got some tips for general advice and motivation?
Thanks for the great tips every one. By the way may I also ask for some advise about staying focus please... I've been working really hard but ... maybe I'm too easily impressed, when I see beautiful game model I'd start a low poly project, I see stunning Zbrush sculpt I'd switch to doing that, see a cool render and I'd… -
Re: 3ds max render to texture
Using mental ray? Yea I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you must use max to bake, I suggest that you switch to scanline rendering and only use MR for AO. If you have access to another renderer like VRay, even better you can get everything you need without having to switch back and forth. MR has all kinds of problems.… -
Re: Substance - Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Noticed an odd bug in Painter 2.3.1 just now: If I go from shaded view to single channel view, and cycle to the base colour, them switch back to shaded with m key, my project shows up wayyy glossier than it should be. Switching from any other single channel to shaded is fine. Switching to extra maps with b doesn't seem to…
