I'm gonna say this ver lost it's tight lighting. There r now colors bouncing everywhere without a clear design. In the previous version, which simply had less, the ambiance was cool and some local lights were warm. Less was more. Now it's completely mixed in my eyes... Maybe look at it fresh with as many lights as there…
seems like most programs I deal with start you facing down the z-axis, y is up, and negative x is left. And when new objects are created their local axis copies that. So pretty esay to jusut stick with that unless you are invidually placing unique objects in a composed scene, or you have a boss telling you to do something…
good job overall, especially the area around here eyes is very striking. i'd turn off local reflections though, there are some artifacts, especially visible on the lower side of her nose. also there is a certain disconnect between the lip diffuse and the other maps, i'd try to put some of that detail atleast in the…
hi guys !! i made a fanart of a local superhero. i did it entirely with substance for texturing. please give me critiques, comments or feedback to help me grow better as an artist, here's the link http://polycount.com/discussion/199167/volt-superhero#latest and for hires images and turntable please…
good for tutorials too or watching a video in your peripheral while you work. its great for tons of stuff, and general browsing, id check out your local pawn shops etc for 2nd hand monitors my first 2nd monitor was a 17 inch dell and got that for 35 quid, its not gonna be the best but it will probably do the job, worked…
This is coming along great! I would love to see more lighting variation in the green area. You're probably going to texture the green with lava or liquid or froth maybe? How about varying the brightness/hue more in larger patterns, so you have areas that emit almost nothing? Would feel less flat to localize the lighting a…
Using world or local space coordinates instead of UVs could possibly work. Its called tri-planar mapping though, but I have never tried it in Max, and I don't even know if it has this, but it should. You can try looking it up on google and see if there is a doc about it, or maybe someone else from here can shed more light…
I'm not sure my local park would be very happy if I did that :) This is an example of what I mean. I can see these tall grass like plants, with fluffy parts on the end. Of course I've seen these in real-life, I just can't recall what they are or precisely what they look like. You can't properly make it out in the image…
Thanks Johannes! Your stuff is getting so wild that it's getting really hard to keep up. Really love this one, man! Still giving that black/white to color method a whack, and I'm liking it more and more. I don't have as much flexibility with local color, but what I'm able to do with the values while painting makes it worth…
Very sorry to hear the makers of The Lion King and Sonic at MPC Vancouver have been shut down with layoffs at over 500 people, maybe more? Especially hard just before Christmas. I hope they land on their feet soon.…
