3DS Max Particles to Object Shape
Hey guys, I need to create a box-hedge for a couple scenes I'm working on and it needs to be done in Max since it's gonna be rendered in VRay (and my only VRay license is for Max). I accomplished it in C4D using MoGraph; I modeled a few leaves,then a rough box shape, and with MoGraph I used a Cloner to randomly distribute… -
Re: Games and its harmful effects for work efficiency
I think games can be very helpful since you are exposed to the work of many artists all over the world. I frequently like to take screenshots of individual assets then go back later and see if I can re-create the asset and either put my own spin on it, or make it higher quality. Games aren't necessary for being a good… -
Re: [UE4] Isometric Souls-like Spellcasting-Diablo-esque Game [IMG/GIF HEAVY]
Thanks everyone! I'm means alot coming from you guys ^^ I'm currently making a pass on the AI and how the enemies work atm. Got hit by a really annoying bug in UE4 where child blueprints reset variables and components randomly. So most of my classes derived from the base Enemy class totally broke down :( So I'll have to… -

Looking at the model, scratches are a bit randomly placed, instead of smartly placed, if you know what i mean. but after i opened up the texture sheets, I noticed you actually had a lot of work to place some decent scratches on the specular, but it doesnt really work on the final 3d piece, because of those random… -
Re: Texture /photo straightening techniques?
Sorry, with "straightening" I didn't want to sound odd in any way, my apologies, I merely tried to use it in a wider sense as an umbrella term describing not only unwrapping perspective projection into front ortho one but also making the image ready for tile-able texture and have regularly spaced repeating details ,… -
Re: Peugeot 208 Rally Car!
Don't just boolean it out randomly, you have to match up the segments of the cylinder with the shape your want to boolean out (and ofcourse a bit of cleanup). It's not even that much about the boolean, you can also just do it with the cut tool and snap to vertex. Check the last couple of pages of the "FAQ: How u model dem… -
Re: Deadspace Door
OK, here's a serious update. 1) I recognized the way the metalness was working. Having fuzzy dirt in there was resulting in unwanted brush shapes on the material that looked like unnatural sheets of dirt. Therefore, I simplified the metalness and used the gloss to capture the dirt. 2) It was still too randomly busy so the… -
Re: Thinking about UDK Materials...
Almighty_gir - I want to say that the 3Dmotive video go into the reflection in emissive. From what I remember it has more to do with how you plan on setting up your scene. That being said, I'm not sure what type of metal you're going for. A stainless steel metal or more of a dull matte metal? If it's stainless you need to… -
(VIDEO: Z-Brush / Wacom Stylus Pressure Sensitivity loss / interface wigging out
I've just uploaded a video to youtube detailing problems I've been having in Z-Brush where the interface just wigs out for no good reason. I've turned off Windows Ink, checked my drivers, reset my drivers, and still this thing doesn't want to work. The problems I get are brushes randomly terminating like the clip curve,… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Materials going inside other materials
I've been meaning to bring this up as well... Because you can't move a smart material backwards in the layer hierarchy, once it messes up and puts it in the wrong layer folder, all you can do is delete it, re-apply it, and hope it doesn't stick it in one of the other folders. It can be quite time consuming, especially in…
