Re: Rounding off a cane
Apologies for answering for him, but the pinching result happens with it being tris on a concave/convex/non-flat surface. It doesn't generally happen if you have quads in the same situation. If you have a pole being all tris, it generally gives that unwanted pinching affect (if the surface isn't flat). If you have all… -
Re: Sod off, Swampy
The problem is that many of these companies who they are protesting dont give a shit about the law either and to make it worse they dont give a shit about the people their law breaking affects. there was a report issued in the city i live in(Houston) which highlighted the fact that many of the petrochemical companies in… -
Re: Business cards and how to recieve them
A) Not always... if done wrong it can say a lot of bad things too... B) Most phones have a note pad. C) Not all artists are competent graphic designers. Show a little flair but remember its a business card. Nothing worse that handing out cards that could double as porn flyers to Parents Choice Award winners. Quality… -
Re: Max vs Maya
[ QUOTE ] you have in front of you a software which is old and bloated and held together by gum and toothpicks, which chugs away though and lots of people are familiar with, but parts of which haven't been updated since it was created, which whenever it makes upgrades needs to do them consistent with how things were done… -
Re: Is it possible to get a good bake without support loops?
This is really just a practical example, this model itself isn’t used for anything. I usually work on low-resource video games where the mesh has to be heavily optimized, which is why avoiding support loops gives us a big advantage. Sometimes my models can be seen in first person, and that’s where the main problems… -
Re: Hats Off: Lucasarts is gone
I wonder how much of this is affecting their Singapore operation or this is just localized the the Bay Area studios. EDIT: I guess Google has uses for things other than porn..... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/layoffs-in-singapore-after-dis/627382.html -
Re: Sawed-Off Shotgun [WIP]
Post up the flats! Imo the pins on the side are not really worth the geo at all, the normal map will carry them, you could really pump some more triangles into the 'switch' and parts right in the FPV imo as you can afford it. Some subtle bevels etc will really sell the the weapon up close. Diffuse seems ok, but I think we… -
Re: Blowing off some steam
This is pretty silly Vig. Do they not understand the lost hours from your machine being out of action? It just makes zero economic sense. Chalk this one up to an experience sure. But next time they need some serious rendering done, you have to explain implicitly the consequences. If they can't afford a render farm, or even… -
Re: how to use displacement for bricks
I would recommend modeling it out with actual brick meshes, if you really need the silhouette to be affected. Most of the time you don't, a good normal map does wonders. Plus you can add individual low-res brick meshes here and there to emphasize edges. Here's an older example that combines two tiled textures, plus a bit… -
Re: Off The Coast - Cryengine 3
Phew! Glad you're following the concept since your first post. It's a really beautiful piece and to ruin it with brown mountains would've affected it as a portfolio piece. This is shaping up nicely now except the scale seems a little off - the column of rock beneath the tower is larger in the concept. I'd also be wary…
