Re: Ghost Nova (Starcraft 2 Fan Art)
I think that the error was from having 2 versions of the model overlapping before they added the back face culling to marmoset. Also, I found that doubling the viewport resolution helped reduce it :) I managed to get some time to revisit the lighting as I was originally relying far too much on the image based stuff and had… -
Re: Baking normal maps on hard-surface models
Hi guys, Yesterday I spent all day doing tests and I think I got it. For the weird artifacts in the rails I noticed that while editing the normals helped, it didn't completely fix the issue (see post above) so I decided to used a "brute force" approach and instead, I used a different smoothing group for the faces showing… -

Re: several months of hard work!

Re: Do you freelance or work at a studio?
Slosh that is where the 230 dollar/day rate comes from. 230 a day is what you would have to charge, 5 days a week 52 weeks a year to make 60k a year. First, nobody wants to work 5 days a week 52 weeks year, so right there we are already charging less than a salaried employee. Second, no benefits. This can be a big one for… -
