Re: Answered: Quixel workstation performance comparison
Oh right. For both I used the same 4k normal map in NDO. Just a single map. I got some more ram installed on my work station up to 32gb now but that hasn't solved anything. Specifically when I'm changing the values in a layer via the ndo interface will it take drastically longer. For example changing the curve to a… -
Re: Sci fi complex
I really like the modeling and where this is going. The main thing that jumps out at me is it's hard to 'read' the scene at times. A few of those shots have so much going on that it's hard for the eye to come to rest anywhere or be lead through the shot. I think some more open areas would go a long way to help the scene.… -
Re: Road to excellence (Female portrait project) ( Zbrush + Details + texturing + rendering + sobbing )
Looks like your character doesn't have an openable mouth, it looks watertight. It's a good habit to have an openable mouth with a mouthbag where you can place gums/teeth and a tongue, for that even further "excellence" as you're trying to achieve. Also, if you sculpt the mouth just slightly open, you'll get cleaner bakes… -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Thanks all for your comments! I ended up trying to solve this in Unreal Engine 5. I brought in my plane mesh with the texture and sure enough the seam was there too. Based on this thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/116922/a-solution-to-normal-maps-with-mirrored-uvs-in-udk I flipped the x channel in a shader just for… -

Critique for game logo
I know this isn't the typical artwork people post here, but I'm really bad at logos and appreciate any opinions. The logo here on the steam page preview is my top candidate so far: and here is the pool I've created so far: I think the lower ones with map look clean and professional, but too technical and boring. I like the… -
(Photoshop) Save action scripting
Hi, I'm looking for a way to overwrite a specific file on my filesystem, saving as a copy when necessary even if the file is open and the active document - but without any user intervention. This is something that used to be easy but no longer seems possible with an action (something they changed in newer versions of CC?).… -
3ds Max performance issues
I've been researching this issue like crazy the last few days but can't figure it out. I have two computers with 3ds max 2010 installed on both machines. My machine with vista ultimate 64, 8gb memory and a 9800 gx2 512mb video card performs worse than my XP 32bit, 3gb memory and a 6800 256mb video card. Both machines are… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
I decided to use the opportunity to use a full skin scan for the first time. I'm used to rely on just a mix of procedural and sculpted details added to hand painted colors. I tried out Wrap for projecting and it's nice, works on Wine with nearly no hiccups, and I think I even got Marmoset working on Wine too, which I might… -
Re: Older work and its impact on the hiring process.
Well, I would say that the (somewhat inelegant) categorization is really just a summary of an applicant's skills, and there is nothing wrong with various people being at different points in their art career. But there's also nothing wrong with a job opening having some kind of skills expectations. Just because a job is…
