Urge to uninstall Maya rising...
After scouring the internet for possible solutions, I've been left with nothing. This post is my last resort. :poly141: The main problem I have been having in Maya is that it keeps locking up my whole computer, requiring a manual restart via the computer's power switch. Everything stops responding except for the mouse,… -
Re: high poly character for cinematic
Whoa that's an old one ;) We've been just testing Zbrush in production back then, and besides we only had 6 weeks to deliver that 30 seconds, so there was no room for any second thoughts. That Tzeentch champion or whatever relied on displacements mostly, with very little facial animation. Nowadays we go much higher, the… -
Re: theoretical pbr question, how does energy conservation work?
It's a misconception that you can't pick your diffuse/albedo value in a PBR system. Diffuse values will vary heavily for insulators depending on what color a material is. If you find a measured diffuse value for say, red paint, that doesn't you have to use that value for every type of paint, obviously blue paint or black… -
Re: [MAXScript] Begining and End of Selected Edge Loop
Thanks fo much Swordslayer, it works but I still don't get it about the [...].numberSet != 3 part though... I'm inspired to do my own version of Angle Loop because I don't really like how he implemented the rollout into the edit poly rollout (and causes flash everytime) so I decided to practice write my own version. Here… -
Re: tessellation, displacement maps.
I think the op meant for the artists how the two will compare, and in my opinion things will pretty much be as easy if not easier. In fact I think a lot of artists already work with heightmaps as well as normal maps, even without the tessellation. The way we get heightmaps is pretty much the same deal in terms of workflow.… -
Re: Maybe she is a unique weasel....buuudddyyy
Thanks guys and dolls :) @ Scythe : Yeah I agree with you man. It sort of does not work with the sword..... BUT I only just thought of this, instead of a sword she could have a huge lollipop mace or something. make her more cutie pie but then all that gets twisted around when I add a heap of dirt (and probably some… -
Re: Tips on working out. loosing pounds
[ QUOTE ] keep going verm, i'll keep reading [/ QUOTE ] Be careful waht you wish for! With regards to beverages, people need to be very very careful when drinking juices instead of sodas. The general perception is that since it comes from fruit, it's natural and thus healthy, etc. While not as 'bad' for you as a 2-liter of… -
Re: [WiP] UDK, Scottish Hills Cottage Environment
Looks cool, though Scotland never looks like that, its much more dreary bleached color beauty. What you really need for authenticity is a couple o sheep shaggers in the background maybe? :) Seriously though - http://scotlandtravelpackage.com/scotlandtravelpackage/wp-content/uploads/highlands.jpg The above is not Scotland,… -
Re: new pc specs
I'd recommend a SCSI hard disk. I just put in a 147G Atlas 10K IV a few months ago and I still get surprised at it's quickness. A single drive and a 160- or 320- adapter can set you back quite a bit, but you just can't beat the speed and reliability. You can get much better sustained transfer speed for your pounds with an… -
Re: Why so blue?
As for other textures being gamma corrected or not: I never gamma them - they are numerical. What I mean is that I am not painting them visually - but as data. So when I want something %50 specular, I am using the colour 127,127,127. Not the visual %50 grey. So when that goes into the engine, because it's treated as…
