Re: Edo-Japanese Scoped Long Rifle [ArtStation Challenge]
Thank you! There might be an easier way than how I did it but, 1) I first created a Spline with the curvature I wanted. 2) Then I created a Cylinder with a PathDeform(WSM) modifier to follow the spline I had made. 3) After this step I go back to the cylinder and play with the diameter until I get the right thickness. At… -
Re: Maya scene fatal error when opened.
May not do anything, but you can try opening the scene and pressing escape (esc) repeatedly. Esc should cancel any script Maya is running. For instance, if you accidentally hit "Mesh > Smooth" on that 15 million polygon sculpt, you can hit Esc and Maya will stop trying to smooth it. Rendering? It will stop rendering. So… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
The basic mechanics of that Witcher technique are really cool. I've used the same/similar approaches for various ID related things in a few games - the huge benefit is that it's not subject to filtering and compression artefacting in the same way that texture based masking is. There are some considerations though if you're… -
Sorting issue in Maya 2016...and NO depth peeling doesn't solve it!
Hi all. I've exhausted all of my resources in trying to find a solution to an issue I'm experiencing in Maya. So now I'm finally stopping by the forums to post. To ask all of you and your combined brain power, to help me out here. So here's the problem. I'm working one a hair style using cards. The cards that I place on… -
Re: Real World Material Definitions
Take a look at this: http://interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/readings-on-physically-based-rendering/ It's basically a one-stop shop for all things PBR-related, including pretty much all of the links posted above. Keep in mind that a ton of it is very technical and math-heavy, but just about everything in there has… -
Re: Topology tool(s)
i've found the the Max retopo tools in the graphite modelling ribbon tend to crash quite often. Causes undo to stop working and eventually it gets to the point where it either crashes or it'll undo about 15 steps o it's own. The actual tool itself is quite handy thugh, but i'd advise saving extremely regularly. -
Re: Tom Cruise samurai model

But thats just me being relly silly now! this is a great peice of work!… -
Re: Large Environment Prop - Street Building
you should be able to pull all those points to the edge of one vert on the side of the building and get rid of many of those poly's on the side of the building. I'd also think about giving it some character, right now it's just photo-ref on some basic geometry. I'd add some air conditioners to the top of the building or in… -

Re: And now for something completely different: HDR Panos!
Good question. The camera I use (Olympus OMD EM1) can take 7 shots bracket at 2 EV increments, which is what I do. A nice benefit of the EM1 is that it can take all the shots with one shutter press, which is handy. Depending on your camera, you may be limited to less shots, or say, 5 shots at 1EV. In which case you might…
