Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it so far. @Disting: Yeah I agree that the panels on the left support element are some kind of repetitive and follow no constructional logic other than breaking up the surface. I'm also not absolutely happy with them as well but they don't bother me that much to go back to change the highpoly…
Wow, thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. I'll try my best to live up to expectations. The only way I could think to show my sculpting process, other than making a video, is to show the general steps I take on a mesh. It's the same basic idea I've always been taught in drawing classes - start with the bigger…
I'mSlightlyBored: I apologize for not replying earlier, but I have been really busy over the last 2 weeks. I have managed to solve the problems with my normal maps (or at least, the most major ones). Turns out it was the most basic issue; while my maps were set to a proper compression, they were not imported with the right…
@musashidan Meshfusion is great for some objects though :-) Zbrush booleans do not give control over fillets and chamfers, just smoothing. Also, you need to export the tessellated mesh. Fusion and other solid modeling applications do not integrate well with the blackout stage. With Meshfusion I can combine earlier modeled…
Scene Setup and Landscape Workflow in UE4 and World Machine + GeoGlyph 2.0 I tend to go straight into Unreal to begin blocking out an environment like this, as opposed to setting up a fixed camera in Max. I may go more into the reasons why as an addendum to the thread later, but the simple version is this; in my…
If enough people do it it will case the powerplants serious trouble and could lead to blackouts. Sure they probably know beforhand and thus they will probably somehow waste the energy in some way to avoid the overload, but it will definitly not "save" any energy! Buy some powersaving lightbulbs, use your car less often and…
I'm working at a company where we mainly do raytraced automotive renders and many cars we receive from customers are hollow/have no motor. Therefore we just add a blackout plane that covers all the spots where you can see through the car and assign a black material with no spec/gloss to it.

It's unreal... looking at CNN and youtube videos... hearing of the mass media and communication blackouts... watching a video of the winner dodging the question of the safety of his rival... 'most of the protesters were bused in' bullshite.... I was only vaguely aware of the elections going on prior to seeing Gaiman post…
Heh I remember in July 2003, I posted in the wierd dreams thread right at polycount. I've had a dream of a power plant malfunctioning taking the most of the east coast down with massive blackouts. In that very post, I even mentioned "perhaps if it's a preminition!" A week later at the beginning of August, it actually…
