Re: LandRaiderConversion(40KFans). PortfolioPiece.
@Mask_Salesman, Well yeah it seems he does :P. Yeah I again completely agree, usually I am really strict on my modeling in terms of what I allow for. I am very much less is more; while that sounds cliche and obvious, I think if you really stick by it you can save yourself loads of polys/tris/verts and either help things to… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Let me see if I'm finally understanding all of this: 1) Average Projection cage and Explicit Projection cage determines how the normals will bake.

Re: I got my dream computer. Here's how that went bad for me
UPDATE: I have an update! SUBHEAD: Unexpected Pitfalls So I got sick of microslop's shit for the very last time in November of last year. I didn't post on microslop's forums that I was switching to linux, and then keep using microslop's products. I just did a buncha research about which distro would be best for me and… -
Re: How to update reimported textures?
Perhaps you can use layers with anchors at the bottom of the stack and then use the anchored data instead of the import directly. When updating maps, you would (hopefully) only have to ensure that the maps in the bottom layers with anchors get updated. -
Re: How do you guys take notes?

Re: Colt .41 from 1894
Thanks Steady on the tid bits and praise of the model. I might do as you suggested in maybe a month once I have moved on to another piece and I'm willing to work on this again. I was thinking the specular map would give me the highlight information I needed, but I can add in a white with yellow in it on the parts that… -
Re: AT-ST W.I.P
