Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
Thank you for all of the great advice regarding AI. The teachers all stress creating folio pieces but, as you said, they don't really tell you what type of folio pieces are needed for specific career paths. That's something that I'm certainly going to work on in my own time. I still have two full years left of school, so… -
Re: Perfection vs Good Enough

Perfection is good but having a deadline is Important to. Example: You have 1 Perfect looking Environment that took you 4 months to… -
Re: Prepare Hairalpha in PSD to 3dsmax Settings
Not sure if these are on the wiki. The first three are general overviews that may answer some of OP's questions. The last one is a nut's and bolt's of the xgen method some of the others refer to : https://80.lv/articles/tips-tricks-on-hair-for-games/… -
Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
hrm... so I guess inside nvidia fx composer it's just that my light color wont allow me to to above 1. I'll have to add an intensity multiplier like you suggested. Thanks! However I'd still like to look into doing the diffuse calculation in an additive manner. Because my end goal is to create a shader that takes into… -
Re: .-| Week 40- The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
I dug up Week 3 challenge and decided to try something. As engineering student I realize lots of this mechanical stuff is much easier to model in 3d CAD software. So I tried creating a model in Autodesk Inventor and then import it for some nice renders. Wire The whole thing took me literally 10 minutes to model. While… -
Re: The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (Challenge 1 & 2)
@Mr_Derk Cool pattern! All I'd say is the roughness could use some more detail for my tastes, but you have followed the ref nicely. :) @ninetitle Very nice recreation of the ref pattern. As for the serpentine you have a good start, nice color, but it could use more detail (some layers of veins and noise) and contrast.… -
Re: Texture Question

I suspect you are confusing some terms -- very understandable because the meaning of the technical terms isn't exactly the same as their ordinary usage. Looks like your question is already answered, but I'll add just for reiteration : yes, absolutely you can… -
Re: Sketchbook: Ohmai
Mischief Managed JK Rowling's Potterverse probably is one of my biggest obsessions. My initial foray into 3D was so I could build this castle within Secondlife itself. The castle grounds and train platform was created back in 2012 and has a ton of issues looking at it now, but its still a piece pretty dear to my heart.… -
Re: Lictor
Almighty_gir you said what I was trying to say much better than I did, thanks. /me climbs on soapbox I like the improvements and no doubt that area isn't easy to work on. BUT it looks modeled in place yet is an action pose. You need can create motion even if the character is not moving (if that makes sense). Something… -
Re: Folds: Zbrush or Max

Then go into projection master (create new texture) Set it to colour only Set tool "plane 3D" Alpha - one of the circles with a falloff Stroke - rectangular stroke Texture - load in one of the cut up photos showing folds Put zintensity down to 0 and…
