This is coming along nicely. But I think your lighting needs adjustment to get closer to your reference. It helps to place your renders side-by-side with your reference, so you can directly compare them. Also, are you thinking about adding more foliage?
this is cycles, and the texture is just a simple white (the default color of the the diffuse node). Sorry i forgot to say this, but everything is at a default value, that's why this bothers me. Lights are not baked. The only light comes from an emissive shader that's part of the lamp.
how would one calculate the angles of the servos without ik/fk anyway? (assuming you only input the position of the wrist of the robotic arm to the function moving the arm) id find it interesting if you could do your mocab device with only the use of acelerometers and gyros attached to teh limbs, with some sort of…
Fair enough. Let me ask another then while we see if any other tips roll in (sounds right to me, but you never know if there is a setting tucked somewhere). Some of my team points out seams and are wondering "how can you get seams on your uv borders in mudbox?!" and I say "well, seams are on every piece of art in the…
it comes down to time saving imo. Why model the same tables, chairs etc, loosing production time that could be better used for other assets\optimization, when theres a pack that fits the art direction and is well made ? Why model the same rocks\cliffs you see everywhere from scratch ? If you have time\budget then go for it…
Is there a way to transform a reflection vector without the transform node? Vertexcolors don't work when you use the transform node... I need a correct cubemap AND vertexcolor. "Warning: VertexColor is mutually exclusive with the Transform node due to limited interpolators. If you use both a Transform node and VertexColor,…
As part of your question you noted that it seems everyone in 3D Art Showcase & Critique uses UE4 to showcase their work, and you'll find that it's largely because as an artist in UE4, you have a lot of control over your materials that you just don't have in unity, without using either a plugin(normally purchased), or…
very interesting way of putting it, for me its the uphill climb that appeals to me, some things have undoubtedly come easy to me before, but easy isn't interesting, easy doesn't make my brain content or happy, you need something that at least challenges you somewhat or you will be bored and complacent and not put in the…
Project is absolutely not dead. I have been grinding down on hardcore production the last two weeks. Building up a new track (hope to show this coming week), based off of Rock Island, IL. Building up a better shader for the paint and decaling system. The old system was disabling a mesh with transparent textures overlaying…
i'm trying to write a code that will create a diamond * *** ***** *** * EDIT: the * should all be aligned in the center but it didn't come out that way. like this diamond here, using loops. i am extremely terrible with loops and arrays. So forgive me for asking this dumb question but ... int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR*…
