Consider it this way: Every surface have reflection, not matter how you think it is matte it still reflects light ((that's why we see colors, and why during day your room is bright). What you should do is use dark metal texture, with pure white specular and gloss (roughness) maps, to see how it works. From this point…
Hey there! First of all, I wanted to say that as a string musician (been playing the cello for ~17 years), your depiction of the violin and bow are generally really accurate -- some of the most accurate depictions I've seen in environment art of instruments! Kudos about that. I have a few relatively minor pieces of…
when I tried reloading my HP .obj in Zbrush I got the popup: "The imported mesh contains 17 unused 3D Points :O Is there a way to check for these types of artifacts manually inside of a program? Decimated the mesh to about 500k poly's and made a new bake, still artifacts :/ Here are the new meshes (included a 200k HP)…
Well I've been a 3d-Max teacher before I went into the game industry (6 months), I pretty much taught 17-19 year olds (highschool?). Since the class was mostly guys I focused the class on video games, I showed them work from others to get them inspired and then came up with basic tasks to give them. It's usually easier to…
Ah! So your gpu is basically your non-rendered view and your cpu renders it. Wow thanks, that really clears it up. You've definitely got me sold on building my own desktop if I were to get a desktop. Do you have a laptop and do you ever use it? And do you work at a studio or freelance? And when in university (if you…
The problems I see with it don't seem to be ground breaking. The problems I am seeing is the stock seems a tad short. At least from the reference i am looking at. http://www.zxgun.com/featured.html However with that said the M4 has quite a few different versions with different stocks and rails etc. From my reference I am…
Hi, my name's Henrique EdMX montanari and i m a rigger and animator. I wrote a facial script with blendshapes based. I think it can be very usefull for you. I m also working on a facial script wich has almost no blendshapes. If you have the shapes already, i thnk i can do it pretty fast. My website is…
That is Accutly a false statement right there. For example you can easily own a AR-15 which is the Semi-Automatic "Civilian" version of the M16 just with a lower fire rate. It is so easy to get a "Civilian" version of many or all mass produced military guns that you would be shocked. You can buy them online just without…
Thank you guys. I hope that people will find these useful too. I'm glad you like them. Hawken: Trainhouse is one of the maps I spent the least amount of time on, but it came from a burst of inspiration. I gave up on it after it compiled without a sun. Hopefully someone will figure out what's wrong and release a working,…
