I had a quick look on google but couldn't really find any decent examples, mine isn't exactly the best texture in the world by any means but it should hopefully show you the function of a spec. The spec map controls how the light hits your model, in my case I have made a colour spec map so that the light hitting the model…
Max 2008 bug. Several other people have mentioned this, and I've seen it happen on a few machines on Max 2008. Oddly enough it doesn't seem like a consistent thing, I can't seem to replicate it all the time. As you found out, it definitely seems to be related to Editable Poly. Our technical guys at work suggested it was…
All right, so I already have a daily sketchbook, but I feel that this would fit better here. I got tired of modeling junk I found around my apartment so I decided to repurpose my daily one-hour 3D sketches into something bigger and more ambitious. Feeling sadistic and in the mood of kicking my own ass I decided to do a…
Those are some interesting ideas, thanks for the inspiration! I especially like an idea that branches off your first proposal that discusses what modern gamers are looking to get out of a game's visuals. I seem to recall an article that talked extensively about how gamers want more 'art' (like Journey) in their games, and…
I actually have an alternative idea, if you're a good 2d artist. It depends on how 'realistic' you are with that though. I know this may sound odd, but what about designing gravestone markers? Here's why it crossed my mind. I just got the proof for my Dad's grave stone, and it's kick ass what they do now. My Dad's online…
Ok i have made many custom perk machines for Black ops Zombies, and recently i got into making them for the game , but im not the greatest at 3d modelling, so this is where i need help I have a perk machine called Banana Colada that i would love to add into the game, i have made some basic 3d models of it already but not…
Fantasizing is nice but a gun owner is not a potential revolutionary, at most you are a potential Ruby Ridge or Waco - the conservative drive to have a strong military kind of negates the "fighting tyranny" clause of gun ownership; unless we get invaded by weaponized paper targets. I will gladly let you keep our guns if we…
another update, not going to upload these pieces on artstation, just going to wait until the whole room is finished now :) if anyone sees anything off with anything i post and can offer feedback i would appreciate it :) also a couple questions for anyone that see's and can answer.. firstly can you get done for logo…
Interesting thread! It's a product for a market thing, european religions and myths have been around in our western culture since forever, so everyone have some kind of connection to them, even more so the bigger ones like the greek mythology. In general we're just scratching the surface, there's a million myths out there…
That's a good point. A character who grew up with a "sissy" name, was perhaps picked on, and decided to become a biker. To add to the discussion of maps, there are plenty. You can't look at it that way. It's like the weapons. There are enough, and they serve their function well. I'm sure they had other weapon ideas...but…
