Sorry to bump this thread.. I'm looking to buy a DSLR with a budget of up to 550 AUD, can you guys please recommend a model? I'm really new to photography, only took couple of HDR shots with cousin's DSLR (Olympus OM-D EM-5) for a project I had for Uni. I want to take my own textures and to make HDRis - using a chrome ball…
I believe in Blinn or Phong materials you can specify a specular exponent. I am unsure of this, but you might try using a different material. Usually a single value is good for gloss level. The only time I could see a gloss map being useful is if different areas of the texture have drastically different specular levels.…
hi James Thanks for the comments. you are correct i mainly used reference from the replica tank, but also a few sparse images of the only remaining A7V and finally also Tamiya 3D Models. Yes the texture is very WIP (ie, no even really started doing the textures, other than prepping the base textures and camo layers for…
thanks for all the replies. tried to take everything into account... added some more detail to his face and gave him a jaw, added some polys around his legs to help with animation. better or worse? figured i'd try and do some stuff for the arcrise project... nobody seems to want to do the animals, its good practice, and i…
Left is myself in late 2005 about 355 lbs and right is me 2 weeks ago in London about 249lbs. Luckily im 6'4 so that 249 spreads out a little better. Id like to hit 200 or so but man its tough,when you work off the weight in the right way it can take years(at least in my case) so it doesnt come right back if i slip up, but…
you can create black and white masks with the above method, here's one I made earlier it's just a matter of setting an upper and lower "threshold" level with the difference less than one over 255 but not zero. the lower the values the larger the islands or more white if you like. Yes perlin noise use's rand() as a basis…
Just whacked this together for s***s and giggles. The alpha isn't showing up properly, I think I need more knowledge of marmo. This is currently sitting at about 1.5K but I'm about to pull it down further by collapsing some loops. Hopefully it won't mess with the texture too much (256x256 - emmissive, diffuse, normal,…
What works for me is cutting out junk food/soda/sugar/white bread. Replaced by loads of water, a healthy diet including raw vegetables and most importantly cycling/mountain biking 2-3k every summer. I usually drop 10-15 pounds during the summer (went from 155 to 140 last year), not that it's my goal, it's just a benefit…
hi folks, thanks very much to those interested in testing! I'll be in touch in the next few days when I've got the newest version ready, cheers! PS, i should mention I pinched the music from somewhere else :P it's by 505/checkpoint of the ymrockerz: http://www.creamhq.de/ymrockerz/ for those interested :) . (awesome music…
seems like the bug is a bit more elaborate than i remembered. trying to import the lines, i get this: and yes, i tried unhiding, (clicked unhide 3 times) and checked for invisible layers. and heres what the 3 objects looks like in T-55X, the scene i imported from (you can see the name of it in Xref objects.) i can still…
