Re: Normal maps.
Yeha, but some shaders will normalize the map you feed into it, some won't. Especially if it's DXT5NM compressed - your blue channel gets wiped and gets re-constituted in the shader itself, which is normalized as part of that process. Considerable dicking around with the post-bake normals is probably not a great habit to… -
Re: M1025 Humvee
I know what you're refering in regards to the specular, and this I struggled with alot; military vehicles seems to never have that glossy surface like ordinary cars. I looked through alot of references and tried to replicate this as much as possible: The reflection/spec is far from sharp. I'm not saying you're wrong… -
Re: Help With Skyboxes
Here's another example. http://ericchadwick.com/img/mmo_worldbuilding.html#volcanicbeach It was done for a custom engine, but certainly the same ideas could be replicated in other game engines. One of our graphics programmers wrote the sky system, which rendered four layers of meshes in one pass. I could only use one light… -
Re: Zbrush Curve Trick
Lifeover Not sure if this is possible anymore in Zbrush 4r7 or people do it that way anymore. I can only presume the reason is, this would now be achieved (and cleaner) by storing a morph map, then with surface/noise or drag out a repeating alpha on the surface and then using the morph brush to erase as shown. Obviously… -
Re: Quad Chamfer Modifier released
This is kind of funny to me, because when I switched to Maya from max for a feature film, I kept trying to find small scripts to replicate either basic functionality that had been in every other software since the 90s, or useful add ons from max. Either they didn't exist at all (and 4-5 did for max) or in the case of the… -
Re: Obama birth certificate
The one printed on the green backing is NOT the OG birth certificate as they claim it is. Ive read that they scanned the original (which was on a blue /whitish background)as a black and white image. Which was then printed onto the green patterned paper what we see here. Then Re-Scanned and uploaded as a PDF. The printing… -
Re: [CE3] Near Future Subway
Hey guys! A little bit of an update for you! Pretty close to finishing now I think :) Only thing I really want to do is break up the tiling on the floor some more (need to create some more decals) @fearian Cheers! Added some floor markings, and the signal lights, adds a fair bit I think, thanks! @Biofrost Thanks! I was… -
Re: Hug your kid at home, but belt them in the car. The automobile thread!
I don't remember what tires it had on it, but they actually weren't bad, once they warmed up. I tried to replicate the spin in a parking lot, with my sister-in-law, and the tires just kept gripping. You could hear it folding over on the sidewalls, because I was snapping the steering so hard, and it wouldn't break free :/… -
Re: Interior with evening light attempt
As suggested previously i recommend getting some refs. Not to replicate them exactly but in order to get a gauge of where youre at and what to improve. You might want to look at a class room ref just to get the proportions right. As it stands the room seems too small. You might want to get some refs for clasroom tables and… -
Re: [WIP] Little Fire Witch
You've replicated the original pose very well from the front but I'm afraid that leaves you with a very awkward side view. I'd change it up a bit to make the silhouette more readable even if it means losing a bit of fidelity to the reference. 2D art doesn't need to look good from all angles so there's a lot of tricks the…
