Re: MAssacre
I completely agree. For Thompson to take advantage of this opportunity to push his bullshit witch hunt is ludicrous. I've been following this off and on throughout the day here at school. Every time I see a news report there's some idiot newscaster or witness saying "I mean, look at the video games of today. We're training… -
Re: The basics of creating pseudo volume textures in Substance Designer - Tutorial
The biggest possible optim is to run the shader in half res relative to the screen res. This would be done by slightly modifying the ray origin and ray direction definition so the ray origin van be rendered to a render target fom the players perspective. The Horizon Zero Dawn doc also mentions some optimizations regarding… -
Re: Cooljay's Progress Thread
ok, from what i can see it seems you are running circles. you are compensating accuracy with speed, ie. replacing quality with quantity. right now, you need to step back from the 3d apps and do some research and observation. step 1. google search and real life examples are all you need. ask someone you know in real life to… -
Re: How to approach UVs and lightmaps on a complex object?
There's a few strategies here. For the standard UVs, you could have groups of overlapped steps where every Nth step is a duplicate, like 1/3/5, 2/4/6. Or the top and bottom of a step shares the same space, and find a similar scheme for the inner faces. Or use a generic tiled texture and totally randomize UV positions,… -
Re: Trim sheets, how do I make them?
Usually if I find that I am having trouble following along with instruction, it means I am missing some prerequisite knowledge. So I have to go a few steps back before I can go forward. A lot of the youtube tutorials and gumroad tutorials are geared towards people who already got the basics down and only need high-level… -

Re: Becoming a Lead Artist
Yeah, sometimes its motivating and sometimes people feel observed... depends on the team, the lead and their relationship - all of which are affected by the situation they/the company is in. Over the years I had enough different team and department leads or other bosses. I've studied business economics and got my look at… -
Re: [Dillema] CrazyBump epic win, max, xnormal fail??
More like: Option A) You can take 2 dozen drunken steps through a mine field to get across a field. Highly likely you'll screw up and someone will have to clean up your bloody carcass. Option B) Take the zip line. Get across the field so fast you have time to stop for a lap dance. You're argument makes about as much sense… -
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 CG Teaser is out
I find this whole discussion pretty silly. First, if you didn't make the concept for your 3d model, you didn't do anything creative to begin with, the majority of 3D artists are not artists at all, they are glorified carpenters working off an artists blueprint. so who gives a shit if it was done by hand or by a computer?… -
Re: RTTassist - 3dsmax toolset for RTT automation.
Bryan Cavett, and some other guys asked me how I made a UI of RTTAssist. So I decided to make this short tutorial. :) First I want to say that the author of the UI is Sergey Punchev(http://getmyui.com/). Seccond - sorry for my bad english. :) As shown in image below, almost all maxscript controls(buttons, spinners, text…
