I guess I should have done more research before jumping. I just remembered how everyone was raving about it being faster. Here the thing, my file sizes have jumped from 25mb to 90, to now even 160!!! without me adding anything to the scence other than a null dummy and further refining weights and hiding different portions…
Depends on how many layers you're using. A 4K texture (meaning 4096 * 4096 pixels using 32bit color and 4 channels) uses 64MB of VRAM. So assuming there was absolutely nothing else using VRAM, you could have up to 160 layers at 4K resolution in memory before going over 10GB. In reality though you'll obviously never have…
This is standard stuff. It's known as camera tracking. Here is something in blender that can get you introduced to the subject. Almost every fx software/video editing software has this built in. Sometimes it is called Match Moving apparently from this wiki article but I've never heard it called that.…
Thanks a lot for your answers guys ! UDIM is basically uv sets on steroid. From what you describe it looks more useful for VFX / Cinematic jobs where you need ( and can ) use 20 16K Maps on a Hero Char or Hero Props. The auto connect features looks really interesting that might be a good argument to use them. I know many…
Thanks guys. Yeah I am just kind of trying to convince myself to put some effort into this as I have a hunch it may be worth the effort. Cool to hear what kind of stuff is possible, even though programming is pretty daunting to me. What you mention @throttlekitty about making tweaks to many characters all at once is…
No, I forgot to change the brightness. I didn't even know you could do that in color.adobe.com, but it's possible. Changing brightness (so you have a cool dark end and a warm bright end), you can get this: But to get back on what you were talking about, when you ask "how to unify the temperature (or the physical location…
I would buy only IPS based monitor, not TN one (your last choice) definitely because of vertical view angle gamma shift they do. Although recently thay not that bad like they were before still imo, IPS is only way to go. Once it's an IPS monitor it could be any cheap one really, covering sRGB color space in all 3 corners.…
Thanks , I decided to split the box modeling in pieces to work on them separately so I guess I didn't need yet the dynamesh .... here is a WIP from the Zbrush work ... what do you think guys? Also .... I have made this all with boxmodeling and after ported in Zbrush for detailing , I understand that the Sword is not Really…
just look for maya tutorials, none of the modeling tools are different. they may be moved around a bit but they are named the same. ultimately the software you use should be what you are comfortable with using. I personally have never seen the appeal of blender other than the fact that is free. but I just typed "maya Lt…
Most people don't play games for forty hours straight. And those that do certainly have preexisting issues that lead to such behavior. If the person in question had been into hard drugs and died from that, no one would create a media circus around it. However, video games are still considered a "toy" for children. Thus,…
