Re: Gpu upgrade recommendations?
This stuff is really pretty cut and dry, just depends on how much you're willing to pay and the sort of jump you would like to see: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html For reference, compared your current card: The 1080 is 2.6x faster The 1070 is 2.5x faster The 1060 is 1.8x faster The 1070 is basically… -
Re: Portfolio Spring Cleaning help
I think these pieces are good enough to stay. Note I only took half the furniture. The top 2 sets are very very simple. The only really likeable items are the beds and couches. Sorry to be so harsh. All your renders seem to be 3dMax scanline renders, with a very bland light setup, if any light setup at all. The latest 2… -
Re: Dark Angels Marine Squad
For no real reason, let's bring this thing back from the dead, shall we? Unfortunately, this project got completely side-lined during the Pre-Dominance War V competition, and I've just picked it back up in addition to the Unofficial Character challenge. I'm also using a modified version of this character for my "Rigging… -
Re: Orc oil pot dumper thing
thanks for the feedback everybody. id say its about 60% done texture wise. i still have to work on the oil and the handle. plus the main body of it needs some dings and dents (just like everybody said :D ) no prob. first i baked a skylight light map with render to texture in 3ds max. (just create a skylight>render to… -
Re: 3D Paint with multiple UV in the same material?
okay I couldnt resist, I tested the "mix" material, and actually it is not bugged, but it simply wont support blending when different UV channels are used, and then just displays the mask (undocumented feature I guess). Their abstracted renderer is pretty old and supports only extremely simple texture combiner operations,… -
Re: Problem Baking Normal Maps in 3ds Max 7
- It could be running out of memory, because the high poly mesh is too dense or your lighting/render setup is too convoluted. If you try rendering with the default settings does it error out? - Can you bake even simple objects? - Are you using any advanced materials like VRay or Mental Ray materials and trying to bake with… -
Re: Junior 3D character artist portfolio C&C help!!!!
Well it all depends on you. I have a portfolio website that showcase stuff that isnt in my Artstation. but it doesnt hurt to have 2 or more different places to showcase your artworks/ tailor made to give what the employers are looking for. But yeah, I would say you your middle guy (the tallest one) is the strongest out of… -
Re: How can I add textures created in Substance Designer on a model created in Maya ? (Noob question)
I think you should look up texture and material types. Manily, if we simplify it to the extremes, there are 2 kinds of materials used in 3d rendering. Physically based, and non physically based. A physically based one would usually want a base color map, roughness or glossiness map, a specular or metallic map, normal map… -
Re: How do you control your artstyle?
Personally I´ve always looked on any post-render filter like CA or film grain as a way to break up the perfectness of a rendered image. It´s a quick an easy way to create imperfections in the image which in turn fool the eye/perception into thinking the image is more realistic than it is straight out of the renderer.… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | June 2014 | Techno Vikings
WIP before bed. Added the clothes and started to work on some mid res' details. not sure if I should punch some holes in the back of the pants. No breakdown for the Render tonight. I'm way too tired right now, and I dont think that a breakdown of a render with no pretty stuff to render is a good idea either. So once I get…
