I have been in the exact same situation. My ex = 1 woman + 3 kids from 2 separate fathers. With the tuggle-war of "should I, or should I not?!?" for myself. To keep quite simple. There's no relationship in long distance relationships. So lets knock that option out of the ballpark. Its really, the matter of stay and dream…
Im an expert in aircraft and modeling them and have done a few P-51's myself. The shape looks a bit off to me. Are you using a good 3 view to model from, or are you eyeballing it? The best way to model these aircraft is to apply a 3 view texture to flat plane objects in the background, and use them as templates. Let me…
How about not making it smudgey to begin with? You really are making it more difficult for yourself by putting effort into doing that in the first place... just flesh him out using areas of flat colours (areas larger than 1 pixel, don't get smart with me, heh), and use some transparant brushes to add some early shading,…
I was obsessed with the Ghostbusters when i was a kid, and that movie is what really spawned my interest in special effects. I also named my cat Ghostbuster, because when I was little I used to get really scared when I was alone in bed, but Ghostbuster started sleeping in the bed with me and I felt safe. He did that for…
Thanks everybody and thanks for the feedback! I agree its on the dry side, Ill see what I can do. I am getting some issues with stuff getting overly shiny when in the shade but Ill see if I can solve it :) There is moss in there I might just have been to gentle with it :) Will need to make a prettier mixmap so it can be…
Working on an Axe set. The artistic goal was to hit somewhere in-between Darksiders and World of Warcraft styles. The blade has a super nerdy background that I won't get into at this point, perhaps when the set of 5 is finished I will let it loose. Thanks for your time.
hey all I'm having a hard time setting up a material that blends terrain materials together using masks. I have 3 textures (rock, dirt, grass) and i have 3 height masks that correspond to where these textures show up on my geo. What I need help with is setting up a material in 3ds max that functions similar to how you…
The GDC talk that some of the guys over at Bethesda put on a few years back is a treasure trove of info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBAM27YbKZg They also go over some of the history of their modular kits and the theories and decisions that lead them to work like they did. The thought process behind, why they made the…
Good eye! Yes, if I remember correctly I took these shots from the train somewhere around Redfern here in Sydney. Also thanks for the confidence boost and your advice. You're right that the wall has some stretching due to being a displaced texture. That was actually somewhat of an experiment since I knew I wanted to…
