Tressfx-solution to time cosuming polygonal hair modeling.
Just found out about Tressfx,a realtime hair simulation features that creates pretty close realistic hair strands and it simulates in realtime.

Re: Sarge Sword Attack Cycle[Short Anim]
I can only comment on the timing of the animation as I haven't tried animation in 3d yet myself, I have to rely on what my eyes tell me from my 2d training... hopefully I can convey it properly. animation is best critiqued in quicktime format... cause quicktime allows to cycle by frame :3 I parsed the avi file in… -
LODs and overlapping UVs
Hello. I have a highly specific question I can't figure out so let's hope someone can answer it: I have a model of a staircase in need of a Level of Detail mesh. The steps on the staircase are overlapped in order to get more detail out of the material. Basically there are 20 steps total and they are overlapped in 4… -
Smart Viewer Pro - Preview assets and mesh stats without scene clutter
Hi everyone! My name is Marwan, I’m an Environment Artist and Co-founder of Remesh Games. As an Environment Artist, I’ve always found it annoying to "pollute" my scene just to check an asset. Dragging a mesh into the hierarchy just to see its stats or animations—and then having to clean it up—is a waste of time. To fix… -
My try at handpainting stuff
So, given the fact that i always loved handpainted stuff, but also I was being a little scared cause I didn't think I could really paint anything, I finally decided to start doing stuff and practicing instead of thinking about it. Here is my thread, I will collect all my handpainted textures starting from now (newb level).… -
Re: Did you really think no one would notice?
There is a way to add some copyright protection to your rendered images. This can be easily removed, but if a novice is willing to steal another artists' work and pass it off as their own, they might just overlook these simple protection measures. Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop and click on "File Info" in the File… -
Re: Advice on a start up company.
Honestly? Is it a step in the right direction or a step back? Is a job at a super market a step in the right direction or a step back? Money aside, is it closer to what you want to do, or further away? Is the lack of passion because of a lack of skills and maybe fear, or do you really just not like that kind of work? (much… -
Re: Maya: Vertex Normal precision errors when smoothing mesh causing normal map artifacts
I see this as maybe several steps. First step would be the differing vertex normals on the highpoly. Can this issue be avoided? If not, can it be fixed? If it can't be avoided nor fixed the next step might be to see if there's any way to bake which won't catch these small differences as color variations. At the moment I'm… -
Re: A Question about 3D Models and Normal Maps
Okay, so I got some time to test Pior's method out and initial results look pretty good. This was my first attempt so ofcourse we might achieve better results with some iteration. I'll try to make a step-by-step video soon to cover the whole process, but it's pretty simple. Programs I used: Affinity Photo - for conversion… -
Re: Weird bug uploading certain images?
Yeah it's just a bit slow sometimes. The forum software has to scrub your images before hosting, remove metadata, bad headers, etc. so there is a conversion step in there. Generally it's best to use JPG, compresses better so it loads faster for your audience. Our overall footprint is several hundred terabytes these days…
