Physical Sky Background and Glass
So here's my current WIP using linear workflow and Mental Ray. I have glass where the window is, and the physical sky is seen through the window(I'm using physical sun and sky with an area light (portal light). The "use background" is checked and left blank, but when I render out my scene (32 bit exr) I get the image you… -
Noob question about cameras in Maya
Hey I have a problem with my top,front,side view since I changed the pref settings Linear I always have this problem now everytime I start Maya, I cannot see objects in those 3 views. Even though I changed the camera settings near clip 0.100, far clip 1000. I dont wanna change all my pref to default, if it would be my last… -
Re: Substance designer/Nodes unreal engine a must for Environment artist?
You can go a long way without needing much maths but you will hit a very steep wall when you get to anything remotely interesting involving shaders, designer, computational geometry etc.. On the plus side, YouTube is rammed full of videos explaining linear algebra and shader related things so getting the principles jammed… -
Re: Maya: Rigid paper-like deformations?
Select your mesh that has a skinCluster (bound to a skeleton). In your Channel Box, under Inputs, you should see your skinCluster. Change its Skinning Method to Dual Quaternion. Dual Quaternion should do what you're looking for. If you want to blend between Linear Skinning and Dual Quaternion, change Skinning Method to… -
Re: First Crysis 2 shots/bullshots?
Yeah, the shots seemed pretty generic as far as composition goes, I think that's why I wasn't that impressed.. also shopped, and also looks like it's more so linear than open world like GTA or Crysis for that matter. Edit: After having a convo with a buddy, these shot may be real. If they are running DX11 with tessellation… -
Re: Combat Drone (WIP)
Looking great. Can you please show some reference pics as there's not much to compare it to at the moment. I cant tell if you are mixing designs or basing the model off a singular drone. I would start unwrapping the treads by doing planar projections on the sides then unwrap all the upward facing sides into one or two… -
Re: Japan is getting ROCKED
yeah, the INES scale is a bit linear and caps out in the end, resulting in fukushima being categorized together with Chernobyl. It's a reaction to the release of radioactive water which has a far reach even if it gets diluted in the end. sadly to the media and public it puts it as an accident with equal consequences as… -
Re: 3DS Max Help UVW Unwrap progress disappears after applying UVW Mapp
The modifier stack works in a linear fashion. If you jump back down in the stack, everything on top would be inactive. Either you can collapse the stack and apply a new UVW unwrap modifier, or just add a new one on top of the stack. That said, the UVW modifier can do everything you need when it comes to UV mapping...the… -
Re: Substance designer, making porcelain.
That'll need a clear coat Shader. Where are you planning to render it? Specular level can enhance any surface if the Shader supports specular occlusion and you make the map properly. In this case the base specular level for the material is effectively the same as the default 0.5 linear The extra channels are outputs for… -
Re: Painting skin weights in Maya
Oh yeah, for overlapping geometry, try this: copy weights from one to the other. For instance, weight the entire body of your character (having the stuff on top hidden can help), then copy the weights from that to the accessories (watches, gun belts, backpacks, etc). This works great especially if you've lined up the…
