Re: Portfolio WIP
I'm not sure what kind of lighting/shadow set up you're using but the shadows are really sharp. Sharp shadows are a hallmark of fake 3D and are almost never found in the real world, alien or otherwise. For 90% of all shadows try to get a nice soft blurred edge. I'm not really sure what app you're using, maybe you said and… -
Re: Memory Ram
as far as i know that 2 brand wouldnt have any problem for the pc, it can work together, but the real problem is they cant work maximal, my friend used old pc with ddr1 1gb, 512 2 slot, it wok fine, he used it 2 years and its ok.. he always used check disk every month to keep the ram work.. and it can work fine for 3d… -
Re: Quick normal map question
I think you would get a seam down the middle. It depends on the angles the central geometry meets at, I guess... However if you've already built and mapped one half of the model, why not just mirror and attach it, and scale each half's set of UV-maps down by 50%, so that they both fit in the square, then render out a… -
Re: Model Sheets
really you think the crate is too high? lol that's the one i figured for best use of polys since its only 132.... All textures in these are either 512x512 or 256x256. I admit quite freely that my poly usage isn't the best here hehe, but all of these models were done for school, and all but the character were props for… -
Re: Railroad steel coil car
nice solid peice, but if it were to go in a game i would sart to chop it down a bit. i think i could get the same look with half the texture space ie 512* for each bit, the key would be to add some extra loops so that you can re-use sections of the texture remembering that a 512* or 256x1024 will tile sideways nicely .… -
Re: 3dsmax Polycount Bottleneck?? 64bit
i have a stable 200fps, on an imported .obj from zbrush clocking in at 800k polies. max2010, windows7 RC 64bit, 4gb ram, dualcore 3ghz, nvidia 9800gtx 512. =/ edit: if you're looking at testing an OS, get the 64bit rc of win7, it's free until july next year, and it's awesome. -
Re: Daikini in a Cage.
confused to why you didn't just make the wood part tileable? you have one peice that tiles vertically... but why not just make it on a 512x256 and do the same for the rope? Congrats on putting it all on one page.. but you'll make it much easier for yourself if you use tileable textures. -
Re: Edward Scissorhands (WIP)
Hello there, guys! Thank you all for the comments. I´m very sorry I didn´t reply a little sooner, but I wanted to Suprore - thanks for your crits. Especially the one with the straps. With this model it turned pretty well ´cause I had enough space for the legs in the UV Layout (and also the texture is quite big -… -
Re: Old Fuel pump
Yeah the stoner ref isn't a good idea my friend. Even if that isn't what you meant it can be viewed that way. I would not involve politics, drugs or the such when making stuff for your portfolio. Anyways a friend of mine that I go to school with made something close to this. Check it out at… -
Re: Little Chrissy Poo: Caricature of myself as a kid
Those lights are the result of a Maya script called Global Illumination. The script allows you to fake high quality global illumination and allows from so pretty decent looking, pretty quick renders. The shadow is just the default Depth Map at 512 resultion which is why it's fuzzy. If I turned up the resolution or turned…
