Re: I am lost with the topology
They work for some things and others they don't. They pretty much are a must for animation but not every part needs to be video. Long explanations of basic things most people already understand don't need to be recorded while I stare at an unmoving cursor. I also don't care how busy your day was or what your cat was doing… -
Re: UH-1N "Huey" (Iroquois) from 'Nam, baby!
Nice a more defenseless helicopter for my Kamov to knock out of the air, I will be posting once a week progress for my helicopter with hope of getting most of the HP done by GDC to learn the art of how to approach a helicopter/military vehicle. Depending how accurate you want to go I would model everything as it pertains… -
Re: Roughness and Specular is possible?
Hi! If the question it is whether it's possible to use mask defining the specular amount along with other PBR maps, sure it is. Iirc, when you leave the specular input empty in Unreals material editor, it will default to a value 0.5. In a project environment, there's likely some rules or pre-built base materials to use. If… -
Re: Slight shading errors on my meshes
The only problem using the data transfer modifier is that you have to collapse the bevel modifer first for optimal results. it worked perfect on the front and rear door, but on the rear panel i had to set the mix to 0.5 to make it look good. not sure what is going on -

[Maya] Various Mel scripts questions
Hi polycounters ! 0/ Since a few hours (maybe more) I'm trying to learn and make a custom tool for Maya and my workflow. I have already programmed in C++ in the past, so the Mel language is not so hard to understand for me. The hard part is to find the name of the various function inside maya, but even with that, I still… -
Re: How to ? Directional lightmaps with 3dsMax/Vray
Hello there ! Here is finally how i've done it with vray. It's fairly simple, but since i'm shit at understanding technical papers, i struggled long time. So i've simply overidden the mesh normals with applying 3 different materials with a special color in the bump channel as normal map for each. This is the technic i was… -
Looking for Critiques on Likeness Sculpt of Hayden Christensen
Hey all! I'm looking for some honest feedback on a likeness sculpt I'm currently working on. I'm wanting to create a 3D art piece of Anakin Skywalker from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, so I'm trying my best to create a likeness of Hayden Christensen from 2005. I'm unsure what else to modify/fix before moving onto the… -
Deferred shader with double-sided translucency, how?
I am working in Unity. I have been working on a foliage shader but am stuck on its lighting. What I'm looking for is double-sided translucency in deferred path. If a quads frontface is lit, its backface should also be lit and vice versa. I have had some success with custom lighting but that means forward rendering which I… -
Blending normal maps- your thoughts?
Hey guys! Wondering what techniques everyone has been using for blending two normal maps together- and if anyone out there prefers using both normal and height maps over blending normals. Basically, I know there are a variety of different ways you can blend normals together, some more arbitrary than others. This blog here…
