Re: Doubts about what to do with a texture/UV map that still has a lot of room left
1.1) Yes. With some padding. It's not a bad idea to leave some free space for possible future changes. Obviously not that much, but I've often come to regret it when I left no space at all. Since not all parts of the car will change with different paint jobs, you probably could add three more paintjobs (if that's about… -

Re: Does this sound like a legitimate school to go to?
2 out of 7 and 4 out of 10 sounds better than most schools/courses I've heard of. 10k to learn the basics in every part out the pipeline isn't bad either, but I've not looked up the details of this one. I might be biased as I did a similar school for 1 year and it was a great starting point. I even got a job before I… -
Re: advice for Unity bullet trajectory method. How should I do it?
poopipe left out one major factor though. I don't recall the technical term but every bullet has certain flight characteristics that will not only effect when and and at what rate it will drop, but also how much it may rise. So if you buy a box of rifle rounds, oftentimes there will be a chart on the back or the side that… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
Hi, thank you so much for the replies. Ok, so I'd like to do a little background. I started learning to animate 7 months ago and putting together a reel about 7 weeks ago, I think all the points made REALLY show up my lack of experience. I was just reading comments on the reel from another forum where they mentioned the… -
Re: More bang for buck out of each vertex
It's basically like that 100100 is your value and you split it to get 100 and 100. So you have to half your resolution to get twice as many values in there. But note: floats are handled differently then ints as they are stored with the famous "floating point". So you might only get two values in a float. The internet will… -
Re: What does the Specular channel in UE4 actually do.
Yes it does prevent you from getting 100% accuracy - in favor of making things easier for artists. This was clearly a philosophical pipeline decision, and they are putting ease of use over 100% accuracy. Clearly there is an argument for both having more control from a pure PBR approach, or more accessibility/intuitive… -
Re: fan speed seems too high on new system
well its an i9-9990k with a base speed of 3.6 GHz - when I set the maximum processor rate to 99 percent, it goes to about 3.43 GHZ, but if I turn it back to a 100 it goes to 4.68 GHZ immediately. so it must be intel turbo boost causing the problem there are no settings in my my bios for this , so this fix will have to do,… -
Re: Bottled Lightning Gun - WIP
Thanks for the feedback peoples! Tobbo: I was trying to stick within a limit of 5k-10k tris and right now it's sitting at 9k so there is some room for smoothing. I'm toying with the idea of making that back sphere a glowing crystal instead of another glass piece maybe as like a sort of power source for all the electricity?… -
Re: Rubi Malone - Big Images
Thanks guys im glad someone finds this stuff useful. :) I use the duplicate / move, rotate and scale tools in zbrush to place the strands and then the move tool to finesse each strand into place. google translate or.....? I will usually sort the hair manually. Sounds scary.... and it is. Yup I sort each piece from back to…
