Re: Realistic Tropical Island - Aztlan -
Ok today not really a problem but a request of open opinions .... This is the grass I have been making the last days , I must say that this , altough it may be seeming easy , is what really gived me the biggest problems to get a proper look , I remade textures by scratch at least five or more times , I even downloaded a… -
Re: Jason Lavoie | Environment Artist (New Portfolio Site)
Makes me happy to see a lot of people who have inspired me over the years (and who've helped me) crit the new site, thanks a lot everyone. So the biggest thing i've taken away from this is... a) people seem to be split on lightbox... for now I'm going to keep it though and b) ... MORE CONSTRUCTION SHOTS! Ok so, I will… -
Re: Stereotypes = racism?
[ QUOTE ] Well i have a slight distinction of being able to say im from somewhere else and American and its true, im Puerto Rican(born there too) but since its a coomonwealth of the USA it makes me American born as well so i am both American and PuertoRican.

Re: How do I achieve this effect? Dynamic decal paths
That is also an awesome idea. Having a hard lerp between the values means that, even though I need to cover the entire ground plane of the map section (which in some instances will be fairly big), I could get away with a low resolution image for that mask because of the sharp falloff. none of the maps I have planned are… -
Re: Vector Displacement Maps and Bit Depth
The colors represents directions. Positive and negative x,y and z. Not literally negative value in the texture itself but it describes positive and negative displacement on the 3 axes. The bit depth, imagine it like this: On this image, I'm showing how some wave displacement bake would look like on 16 and 32 bits bit… -
Re: [WIP] Castle Grayskull
Thanks X-One I added some trees, rocks, and more grass. A couple of problems have occurred when rendering now: - The trees are not casting shadows - Some weird shadows are appearing on the bricks of the castle I'm guessing both problems could be occurring from the light maps. But the trees a light map (UDK Generated). The… -
Re: Learning Mudbox and baking
Thank you for the replies! Here is my rock collection so far. Eventually I'm planning on using them in a wintery garden scene. I have a really clear idea of how a layered rock should look, but every time I try to sculpt it, I end up with a big blob and messy texture! I don't want to waste too much polygons on silly little… -
Re: Symmetry issue involving normal maps
I tried everything. When looking at the mesh in the mesh editor window, a combination of the 128 color blend fix and the tc_uncompressednormalmap helped. In fact, it solved the problem *in the mesh editor*. Unfortunately, the second i ran a build, the problem was as bad an apparent as ever. I also tried several different… -
Re: Maya depth shader controlled by ramp?
malcolm: yea it is possible to do in Photoshop. I just had a look into a process for you. The Lens Blur filter is pretty similar to the one in AE. Just the setup is really weird. Before you run the Lens Blur filter on your image make sure you add the depth pass to your beauty render as a new channel. (use "duplicate… -
Re: Max Rendering Help - Fit mesh to view
maybe with a little bit maxscript :D ? here is a snippet I once wrote for someone that asked me how to create a cone that matches the camera with a pre- defined height.myCamera = selection[1];--the camera node_height = 128;--your input height-----------------------w = 2 * _height * tan(myCamera.fov/2);h = 2 * _height *…
