I recommend using more reference for your textures, and also relying less on photo-sourcing for the time being. If you learn to paint a good diffuse texture in PS, you'll be able to incorporate parts of photos much more effectively (and have less of a need to). Right now, those textures look like they've got a bunch of…

Yeah no problem :D Make sure you get the Apex Clothing plug-in for 3ds Max or Maya from https://developer.nvidia.com/apex-clothing 1. Started out with just a flat vertical plane in 3ds max with the width of the curtain being a little bigger than what I intend in the end. (That'll make more sense later) Green line shows how…
Hey man-- geezus crist you got a good eye- Well, at first- the floor grates are not supposed to be transparent to begin with. I just figured I'll come up with something along the way for the design--- I just kept on working away with the other pieces- the floor grates was a last minute change- I rip off the idea from…
I believe axios nailed it on the head.. Depending on how close you are to the object will depend on what your filter type needs to be set to. It's automatically set to Quadratic, try turning it to off and see if that makes it look better. My bets are it will.
Yeah this always confuses me. 256 = accuracy to 0.39 512 = 0.19 1024 = 0.097 So what people are really saying is that they need 512/1024 levels of sensitivity, to set their transparency values to levels of accuracy finer than you can actually manually set them in photoshop? You're going to worry that your pressure can only…
We have been seeing a lot of requests lately on a texturing workflow for high-resolution models with DDO, so I put together this little guide on how I have created the base maps for my high resolution projects. The pictures shown below are examples that have no lower or higher resolution version then the one shown in the…
Lots of misinformation here. 1. It does have a second taskbar with dual monitors. 2. It has been more optimized than 7. It's a bit more peppy on my test system. 3. The sign in is ONLY if you use windows live features like app store or calendar. You can use and install system without! 4. You can still use windows picture…
I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro last week and after messing around with it for a while these are my thoughts. Good Hardware For its small form factor it packs a lot of punch. I don't have to worry about things going slow. Sure, it's not a gaming system but it does a lot for its size pre-haswell. It feels great to hold in…
