Early ref and sketches for a PP-Bizon finish. I wanted to emulate the sort of simple graphic finishes that were the staple of the times. I've been looking at a lot of reference, and there are lots of common characteristics to the types of paintjobs you'd see on objects in these movies/comics/cartoons. meanwhile trying to…
Hey guys! I didnt have time to make last week's update, was working night and day to finish the piece before the end of 2016! and guess what? I made it! So last week i finished making the props, i then unwrapped the models. Most of the assets did not have any unique textures, instead i used the tileable materials shader to…

I also want to shout out the people who have been participating in the challenge on Discord as well! It's great to see…
Well, cheap filters are cheap! I have a $20 set of 77mm Vivitar UV/CPL/ND4 that are just fine. Would $50-100 filters be better? Probably, but would I notice the difference in real use? Probably not. Step up rings are on option, but then you've gotta bring step up rings, or always have them installed on your lenses. If your…
I have a question for the conspiracy theorists: Let's say that the impact into the Pentagon was not made by a 757. That's fine, but forget about the Pentagon for a moment.

You might be able to run magura HS-77 or HS-66 levers with some magura calipers. But HS-66/77 brakes are hard to find. All magura brakes run off mineral fluid. If you can wait a tiny bit SRAM is working on hydraulic brakes for drops. However I run DOt4 fluid brakes and have no problems - I've even bled my own brakes (I…
