I would like to get some feedback on a couple of hard surface props I’ve done recently. I know that as an artist it can be hard to see past the fact that I created something ‘cool’; and truly see that object for what it is. So, with that said, I would like to post a self-evaluation of where I ‘think’ I am.. and then get…
Hi there, I'm struggling to understand how calibrated albedo maps are actually made. There is so much talk about PBR, how it's wonderful, physically correct awesomeness. But not even Allegorithmic has any information on how to make a calibrated texture. Let's look at an example. Pretend that I want to know what is the…

ANY IDEA? proc ScreenCaptureWin() { global string $rsTxtPath, $rsTxtName; string $sn = `file -q -sn`; string $cfp = `dirname( $sn )`; if (`window -exists ScreenCapture`) //closes window if already open…
Welcome, all! Believe it or not, it's already time for the Monthly Environment & Prop Challenge #55! Incredible work by all!

This is my very first script and I wanted to share it on here. Hopefully I can get some feedback. There might still be some bugs, and some of the code might be able to be optimized further, but again, this is my first script so I don't know all the commands. And maybe someone did this already, or there is some special way…

Hi friends! Not sure if i'm correct here, but my issue is heavily technical - but of course about game art. Anyway this is pure self-advertisment. I write an articles about... "Fakes & Tricks of games which impressed me" It goes about crazy ideas or awesome tech fakes which made an cool effect. I write about this in my…
I got tired of constantly moving objects to 0 0 0 to export for UDK and remembering to do a few other things like triangulate the model and rename the material, so I wrote this maxscript. With one button "FBXport" does: * Records the objects current position. * Moves it to 0 0 0. * Triangulates the model by adding a turn…
Howdy folks, It's been awhile since I last posted onto Polycount, though with the new Animation section I thought it'd be great to start posting regularly :) I am currently working on a project with a Hand Animated Wyvern and a Motion Captured Human fighting. Currently I am at a "First Draft" stage, and there is quite a…
Hi guys. Hoping someone could give me some pointers on an effect I'm trying to achieve. I thought it would be quite simple but really struggling to understand why it's not. I want to create this: A paper lampshade where the light is visible through the material, and falls off as shown in the picture. Bright in the centre…
