Re: Noise grain in my Max Normal Bake
Just as a general note: To deal with precision issues of 8bit file formats and the often extremely subtle information that needs to be stored in a normal map, you basically have two options: A. Noise or "dithering" which is what Max does by default B. Stepping, which is what Maya does by default. I personally prefer Max's… -
Re: Zbrush Noise maker
Using the default noise is a little iffy for tiling, since it already has seams. The Lightbox noise generators are tileable, as long as you use them properly on a tiling plane. You can also make your own tiling alphas to use with the Noise tool or "Mask By Alpha" and use the Deformation tools. Again, the plane you're… -
Macbook Pro Retina for 3D work? Fan noise?
Hey everyone! I've been thinking about buying a new device to work on-the-go. Right now I'm trying out the Wacom Companion, as I'm mainly a 2D Concept Artist, but the fan noise is killing it for me. They are always on, even when just browsing the web. A simple zBrush model already makes the fans go crazy to a degree where… -
Re: Metallic noise in Highpoly Renders?
There are multiple ways of getting such an effect normally you would generate some noise in the 3d program of choice and place this into the bump/displacement slot of your material. Quick example from blender. I find it it best to mix a large noise pattern with a smaller one. But really it is just trail and error. The… -
Re: Does anyone know a soft to de-noise height map from photogrammetry?
Can you post one of the input photographs? If you're using a cell phone to take photos, most likely there is heavy noise reduction, sharpening, and potentially other post-effects applied to the image. Generally optical and sensor quality will be subpar, so a better camera would be a good idea. In any case, if your phone… -
Re: Surface Noise in zbrush???
i've been playing around surface noise effects in Zbrush recently, I can get some pretty awesome results for my Ztools, and yeah you have to sub devide a lot then click 'apply to mesh' to save the noise. But to be truthfully honest the noise is often lost when baked down to the normal map. I'm starting to think 9 times out… -
zb4 noise bug, quick question!
Hi there! I am doing some rocks in ZB4 while testing it out for first time, I am trying to use the surface noise modifier, but I am getting this weird bug (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4138955/drop3d/bugnoise.jpg), maybe I clicked something wrong, is just that I couldn't figure it out yet... :) , I closed and reopen and still… -
Marmoset 3DS max Normals Texture Noise
I get slight noise in my normals when rendering in 3Dsmax(Banding with Xnormals), all over the render area. I've use the settings for rendering, Hammersley with catmaull-rom. I've tried rendering a simple object onto a plain, and still get this noise. I've tried baking with a 16bit texture format, then transfering it to… -
Noire Wizard of Oz in 1940's Space
Hi, I am concepting some characters for an illustrated series on the Wizard of Oz. The setting is space, the theme is noire, and the style is realism. I would appreciate feedback on which silhouettes you guys think look best. Themes: Noire- dark, mystery/murder in a 1940's setting. Space: All non-human creatures in the… -
Re: UDK Lighting for a 'Film noir' Style scene
Well nearly all Film Noir movies are black and white, have very high contrast and shadows are very importantly integrated for visual interest. Just because your going for the Noir look though, doesn't mean you have to go black and white. Using desaturated colours and complimentary harmony can be worth investigating, this…
