I'm a blender user and i'm looking to expand my toolset to somehting more advaced. problem is I don't have the money for a new pro app. I found a full complete copy of lightwave 7.5 for around $70 box, manuals,cds and all. also found a used copy of cinema 4d r9 studio w/full manuals,box cd's. for around same cost basicly.…
Delete every face that you can not see from your camera. You don't need them, games won't crash without them, and it just keeps your scene clean. Intersecting geometry is ok, just make sure that the seam that they make is on purpose and doesn't stick out. An Ambient Occlusion pass usually makes these seams non-existent.…
I'm using indexes: names aren't very reliable (in the example above PS would be confused by a number of Layer 1 layers). Re the AHK: personally I use it all the time, but I imagine for 99% Photoshop users it's a bit too much. Not like I care a lot, I do those scripts for myself anyway :smiley: but using the AHK it wouldn't…
@JordanN I don't have much experience in the mobile field, so it's hard to comment on that, but from what I have seen people posting on artstation it seems to be a bit more traditional route where artists are still creating assets/world art etc. Although if you look at how exponentially better the fidelity in graphics on…
This ruling changes nothing about the sale of software as such. You can still sell a license to your customer. The only difference is that you cannot forbid people to re-sell these license (aka usage rights) to others. Many software publishers allow license re-sales and some even help with license transfers. This is…
Who's the dick? It seems pretty dickish to tell people they can't talk about the walking dead in the walking dead thread until he's seen the episode? Just stay out of the thread until you've caught up. The spoiler tags are fucking annoying and now we have to spoiler talk about this weeks episode too in addition to comic…
Actually, instead of setting up core affinity for something like this it may be more beneficial to just lower the process priority to the lowest possible. In such way something like xNormal that has a bake in progress will allocate all "spare" CPU resources available, but will "step aside" when any other software (browser,…
This phobia of UV seams needs to die. Its standard in lots of circles for seams to be a total non-issue. DDO and Quixel should not be the exception. >M-Muh seams >2015 From the technical problems you've described, texture projection onto the mesh itself seems ideal for solving the seams: Just projecting feathered images…
I have dry eyes a lot. When I think they aren't bloodshot my roommate thinks they look horrible. It was terrible back in 99-00 when I was in the campus labs constantly with all that dry air and terrible Gateway CRT monitors. Stay away from Visine and others that 'get the red out'. All those do is constrict the capillaries…
Could you point out some of that UI trouble you're running into? I'll be the first to admit that it's awkward at best for some things, but to call it worse than Maya's is quite the insult! The thing is that for 99% of your modeling, you don't even need the UI, which I've found to be very efficient. Yeah, adding an alpha…
