Re: Red wire when connecting my tga normal map bitmap to the normal node in SD
Normal node converts Greyscale data to a normal map. See how the Input is a Grey Circle? this means needs a grey input, your Bitmap is outputting color information (Orange circle output). This won't work. Do this instead: Bitmap into Levels, Set Levels In Low and Levels in High + or - an equal amount in my case +0.4 in the… -
Re: thoughts on moving to US from UK for work?!?!
@Rick Stirling: Nevermind I read your article after posting that Could you guys give me your opinion on this? I tend to think that silhouette/detail readability issues are usually a result of poor lighting choices and not background color. People say the same thing about blown out white backgrounds... Here's some concepts… -
Re: Class Project - Quality Assurance
Thank you for your ratings konstruct, VelvetElvis, IdiotDrummerGuy, and Shoy333. Thank very much for the further insight, konstruct. Your concern for context is definitely a very big issue that we have not probably spent enough time assessing. The context in this case would be for an exterior (currently) virtual flyby of… -

Re: Hand Painted Props, Advice Needed
As Jeffro said, you need to adjust your levels to pop your contrast. Your colors are also pretty desaturated and muddy. Your scrappy metal is almost there, you need to put a different color where the torn / ripped pieces of metal are a more orange rusty material. A good way to check your object's contrast is to just not… -
Re: Blended normals in UDK?
Thanks Xoliul. Got the CustomLighting slot to produce some results now. Here's where I'm at now. At least I'm a bit closer but not there yet. I'm not at all certain of how to properly reproduce the phong shading since I'm not that experienced with the inner workings of the lighting calculations. But since the non-normal… -
Re: Freddy's Fried Chicken - Small scene

It's been quite a few years since I was in the domestic electrical bizz, so, if it looks ridiculous then I'm all ears :p Pope Adam - thanks man :) trying to get stuff done more quickly here, infact I'm gonna set a… -
Re: generic human male WIP
Post pictures of the whole body, preferably ortho views, wireframes and a neutral material, the specular and odd shadows makes reading the form difficult: probably because i'm used to really flat and basic materials ;) Also, if this is meant to be a base mesh, you should make it less complex in regards to edgeloops.… -
Re: The Dead Street WIP

White make thing brighter and black darker. * One layer in overlay mode for color variation * One layer in overlay again with some… -
Re: League of Legends Tristana dragon handpainted texturing in Blender
Hey man. The brushwork is stellar on this little fella. However, one thing I think this might benefit from is a general subtle gradient from top to bottom. If you take a look at more recent LOL models, especially by Duy Khanh Nguyen, you may notice a recurring theme with the vertical gradient, shading bottom part and…
