I finished my entry for the Creature Planes challenge(Classic Monsters) on CGhub. I chose the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Zbrush Sculpt: I then went and made a low poly and made a normal map. with diffuse: The polycount is rather big for a model like this. It is around 13 000 tris. I didnt spend time on optimizing it.…
So whats new in this version? As far as I can tell the games play the same way since many versions ago. I honestly don't see much difference between 2008 and this latest release. I wish the Olympic comittee would stop making sequels every four years and focus their efforts on innovation instead of making profits. What's…
It might take a while. Somebody from them approached me in 2008 and asked me to do a little art test. I am still waiting for their reply to my works. Honestly I didn't mind all that much since, a day later, I found out the representative was from India or something, and I was still attending school in the Netherlands.…
I love it! :) But I'd recommend to make the shape of the ground less polygonal and give it some height. The scene endes abrupt. you can blur it like here: https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/111/611/large/nick-duarte-land-diorama001-final.jpg?1403494839 or break the shape abit like here:…
idk its missing something. i feel like its a bit to plain. I would take out the turbosmooth and rework some areas. are u working from a reference? if so, can we see it? i found these for you if not. hope it helps. http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2011/05/andrew-chase-tme-sculptor.html…
Also, I've been trying to figure out how to build the AO map. I have the high poly still, I just need to figure out what to do. I'm using 3ds Max 2008 if anyone knows a tutorial on how to do it? And the "non-tiling texture going across it" is actually a normal map baked onto it to kind of create a modified version of the…
man this is almost as good as the thread on a calgary car club board about some kid stealing a car... and then the guys on the forum encountered him on the street and the whole community got in on it and did their own stakeout and investigation to get the car back. you may all remember it as... "the claw"…
it was clockwise for me like 10 minutes looked away looked back. was anti-clockwise. MIND WAS BLOWN but according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spinning_Dancer "The illusion has been incorrectly[3] identified as a scientific personality test that supposedly reveals which hemisphere of the brain is dominant in the…
Don't forget to look at the PS1 controllers, since they should be compatible. I have a joystick for the PS1 that looks similar to this: http://i22.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/b9/ab/e846_1.JPG but it doesn't have rapid fire and it's a bit smaller. I couldn't find a picture of it online though :/ I also saw this on Ebay while…
Instances in max are huge performance killers on their own. Stacking on instanced mods just makes things worse. I'm using 2008 and I've got the same issue whether I place a single turbosmooth modifier on an instance, or one modifier on all instances. Crappy, but I'm not sure there is a work around. I don't seem to really…
