I think Dinc refers to the distance the ray has travelled from the incident point of the first interface to the second interface. To use the thickness, d, as a parameter you need to change OPD = Dinc*cosTheta2; to OPD = 2 * eta_2 * Thickness * cosTheta2; Yes. It is a factor of 1000. As for matching the images I think it is…
Scene states and the batch render dialog would avoid you having to set it all up each time you want to render. You set up the scene right click and choose "save scene state" highlight the things you want it to save, give it a name and click save. Then in Rendering > Batch Render you create an entry for each render setting…
why are the wires on the gas station thingy fully modeled, but are the crates flat cubes? what you have here looks pretty durn good already, but there's a few points that could use tweaking: - lighting: currently everything is the same-ish colour, try colouring different sections in different colours, like white fluo…
[ QUOTE ] So, eat 1500 calories and run 6 miles a day at a 7-minute pace. For a 200 pound guy, that's about 800 calories. That leaves 700 calories for your body to get by on the rest of the day, and dedicated weight training is off the curriculum altogether. This sounds like a fitness program for Skeletor. Perhaps all…
If you want to go with a branded workstation then the HP Z series should be a safe bet. I guess you are aware that this series has been around for a few years now so you are not exactly buying bleeding edge tech. Also workstations usually contain a good deal of custom parts which would make replacements expensive or…
Well if nobody else is going to reply. :) I think it deserves some attention. I really like that you actually put together a whole scene with a pretty consistent style. But there is quite a lot that needs love and attention. For game art it is a lot more respected when you present your work in a real time render. For…
Update: When you're writing text into textboxes now, the Hotbox won't interfer with that. It should work for a variety of textboxes of 3ds Max for now. Max Hotbox is also silenced while you're working on the MAXScript Listener or Editor. I may remove that in the future, seeing how feedback goes. Just download the new…
Pretty much. The ex-NetDevil founders went on to start a company called EndGames - They make Facebook social games now, and their turnaround is insane. They had launched like two games in one year or something last year and were already in the black. They saw the flaws in the traditional game publishing routes and decided…
Halloween time Culmination of a couple of ideas I had for Techies costumes... Normally a Halloween theme can be kind of hokey but I think it works for Techies in a way Spleen - Lobgoblin costume, considering either a flame particle or an orange-haired ponytail emerging from the helmet Squee - untitled costume, treat…
Kind of. They'll cast and receive shadows fine, but the shadows applied to their surface will also affect the translucent effect. By which I mean, if you imagine the shadow value they receive if they were simply opaque, the translucent effect will also be masked by that shadow value. The other option would be to stop the…
