Hard drive setup recommendations ?
Hey all (hoping to post in the right section this time :P) So I am building a new rig, almost done. But I am wondering what would be the best hard drive setup for it. There are a few things I know I want, but some things are still TBD. The plan so far : - DRIVE1 SSD 120GB OCZ Pixel (solid state) Primary 'work' OS (XPPro… -
Transfer UV layout mini-tut
This will cover transfering one UV layout (old) to another (new). If you've ever had to do changes to a UV layout after a model has been textured this is for you. It basically takes this approach and re-purposes it. I found that approach kind of confusing the first time around so hopefully this won't be like that. Also… -
Re: Creating skies for UE4 inside of Maya?
Dynamic sky materials are partly procedural. The easiest method is to have a few masks for stars, sun, moon etc. Atmosphere gradient can be done with masking out a channel of the UV texture coordinate, that would give you "from top to bottom gradient" that you can color with a lerp.

Re: Normal Map problem
Using SBM and meshsmooth is the way to go, turbosmooth is okay if your just previewing but as a final product it's not ideal imo < that's from personal experience though some people like it :/ ======================================================= This is my method with some instruction from Santiago Orgaz; 1.

Re: Arch Viz Criticism.

Even with particle board they wrap in a wood pattern that would flow like wood does.… -
Re: "next-gen" eyes
I haven't read the thread yet but here are a few notes, I apologize if these have already been covered... 1) In general (not saying you do this), don't screw with the spheres original pivot point. Once you edit the eye and make the shape non spherical it makes it hard to get the eyes to rotate properly. When I'm rigging I… -
Re: UDK - Nature Empowered Hospital ---Loads of images---PORTFOLIO
On the first impression, it looks great, you have some fantastic work going on! I can easily see this being a really strong portfolio piece. Below the surface there are a few things that need to be thought about. Even if you don't make changes to this scene, take some of this stuff into consideration with your next… -

Easier FormLayout (MEL)
I have written a script which makes to manage FormLayouts easier. I want to share this if anyone could be interested. The FormLayout control is the most powerful but less accessible one as it requires more size, offset and ratio management codes. This script is designed to use FormLayouts as easy as PaneLayouts. With this… -
