hi, for some time now I have been looking for a fast and convienent way of baking ambient occlusion maps in maya, because I want to use them as base for my textures. however apparently I have to set up the AO shader, which is not that much work ok, but still annoying if you have various objects and since a friend of mine…
verm, i thought that also, but the x8 started giving me tons of mechanical problems airbag lights constantly showing error, not able to be reset by mechanics trouble starting, even had to recently get a new battery cause it was not charging properly. one of the wheel well covers fell off as i was driving rattles all over…
I'm looking for something like this for Maya. Since there is not quoting with the new forum design, blue is my quoting method :smile: It probably is within Maya, and I'm not aware of it :disappointed: Distorts one texture with another texture. Each RGB component of the warp texture will distort the corresponding UVW/XYZ…
The question is, which surfaces should be straightened and which should be as close to the 3d counterpart as possible. When you flatten a surface and dont keep the "shape" of the surface in the uv, stretching/warping is inevitable. Only rectify surfaces that you dont mind having some warping. I dont have a tutorial at hand…
You choose DW4 did you not? It ends 1-2 months from now not days. The specs won't be released for another 5 days so how do you expect to finish a comp before it starts? We can do a mini comp that starts today and ends on Monday. We can do whatever, but you choose Dom War. So when dom war is fini, we'll take your entry and…
yeah, when I first saw this post, the biggest thing that irked me was your window cracks. WipEout nailed it with the cracked glass ref. Remember when painting you glass, the inside broken edges will receive light and get brighter. but don't forget to add the darks to your cracks as well. ALso some other things about your…
In reality I dont think there is any way anyone could sue you for creating a 3D representation of there concept. Unless they own a copyright license on the piece of art and chances are if there not a studio they wont as that costs money to do so. They shouldn't even have the right to tell you to take it down or threaten to…
Thanks for the replies guys. I took the rest of today off of working on it, I've had so much work to do recently it's crazy. Just decided to kinda slack off and play some games for a bit :P I'm not quite sure I understand the composite map, never really messed around with too much in the material editor, I'll have to look…
Hello, I think I will go for a Steampunk Era/Civil War theme. I have a few ideas, one regarding a dishonored Confederate soldier who lost his legs in the war. He is out for blood. He's harnessed the power of steam and integrated Civil War weaponry into his vehicle. EX: Musket Volley device that unleashes dozens of bullets…
Gotcha. She has a story. She's a heroine who started a revolution against two warring factions on her land. The two warring factions are normally superior to humans in every way but she managed to bridge the gaps in power. So when I concepted her, my idea, was to make her appear strong, empirical, and rebellious. Also I…
