Re: PC Crashing/Rebooting Using 3D Programs?
Yeah it's rare for Maya to get corrupted. Fortunately if it's a .ma, sometimes it's possible to edit the file in notepad to delete the bad lines. It can be tricky to find which lines are causing the issue but if you get that problem some day at least there's a work around. Maya crashes too much but it has nice saving… -
Re: Zach Vance - Art Showcase (C&C Welcomed!)
Well it's been a long time since I updated. Lots of reasons I suppose, but I won't get into it here. I took a break from art for a couple months but I'm back into it and feeling refreshed! Here are a few Rubens studies from the past few days. I'm trying to make a new habit of painting daily, and even considering a 365 day… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Fisherman's Kingdom - Kimmokaunela
Shader, rocks, little more shader, crunching at work and more rock cliffs :) That´s pretty much what I have done lately. I´m testing a lot of different things right now. I also started to make the whole island. Now that I have the shaders and modular pieces done it´s pretty straight forward to build bigger level. One big… -
Re: Specular map help
I usually use a power on the diffuse texture for the specular "color." Some people advocate complementary colors. (basically inverting the a high contrast version of the diffuse which can be done with a power and a 1- node in the editor) I don't particularly care for that yet probably because I haven't found the right… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
I have to disagree with this, not everyone has high speed unlimited internet connections. South Africa for most people who are lucky enough to have internet connection is 384k, shaped with a cap of 1gb. Some people are still using 56k dial up. And the others are using mobile internet with caps of 250mb or 500mb. Purely… -
Re: MaxScript: Playback Curve Editor Friendly
I had a skinned character in the scene - and some additional animated rigid hierarchies with some wired ctrl etc..... But it was a pretty simple scene in general, so mabye having multiple skin modifiers in the scene might still be slower Just a hint: When using the stats display turning off all geometry related stats… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
Yes, i can scale it bigger or smaller by a not really defined amount. But i still don`t know if my cube dimensions are let`s say 3/4/5.5 . I cannot SET it to a given value. Means i have no control that way, sorry. No way to model two pieces that fits each other. That`s all architectural modeling out. That`s all technical… -
Re: Sketchbook: GEVZ
This is a model that will be used for an animated series currently production. But for this presentation, I rendered it realtime in Marmoset Toolbag 2. This is KOKO. This young brilliant mechanic is the creator of Roro. Koko acts as big sister to clumsy little Roro. Dont be fooled by this cute little girl though as she… -
Re: Sub 15" Laptop Super Duper non Pooper
What are you actually going to do with this laptop? To me, I would rather have a cheap, light netbook with awesome battery life, that I would actually take with me somewhere instead of trying to find a beefcake heavy laptop with poor battery life and fool myself into thinking i'm going to do any real work/gaming on it.… -
Re: Building a System-Most important specs?
