ShaderFX suffered when dx in the max nitrous viewport was borked but 2016/18 seem to be fine. It works better in maya to be fair. As far as your options go, The stingray Shader is pretty good even though it has tonemapping built in and can be a bit misleading. Using a custom brdf lut image (available on ShaderFX.com) will…
In truth, I was still learning. 2016 was a long time ago where I thought UE4 was the only software I needed. If I were to go back to UE4 today, I would stick to my original plan of a game that only uses hand painted diffuse textures and nothing else. For photorealism, I'm making pre-rendered cutscenes where I just design…
Great site Fletcher! Everything is truly inspiring, after looking at all this stuff it really makes me want to do some hand painted models. I do have one tiny nitpick though. Is there a piece of wood trim missing from your lowpoly zeppelin tower? The area where the roof tile meets the stone of the tower, it looks like its…
I got the book of bunny suicides for my dad and then someone got it for me... great sense of humour throughout it Don't like that someone just scanned it in though, it's worth paying money for. if anyone fancies... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN...7787548-7750044 Amazon.co.uk link…
kp: cheers man ^^ bbob: :) aight so had to take a 3 day art break due to diminishing momentum/motivation (and i got WoW: cata... pretty sure the two are just a coincidence >_>) Blocking in the clothes for josh brolin, so everything's gettin major tweakage still (gotta divide things more >_< ). And made a quick shotgun and…
Ahh okay cheers Monster didn't realise the constraints and parents locked this stuff together even in the export selected sense. A nice to know! Blendshapes sadly do not I export him and the face remains normal - no expression. I may have to call this off for now - no use exporting an animated mesh that doesn't animate…
There's a bridge for Max and I've been using it on Max 2014, 2015 and now 2016 without any issues. As for the UI... I thought a bit about defending this ugly piece of @#$% and then remembered people dare to defend Zbrush's and even get offended that some people could criticize it, so why the heck not? What I like about…
In my experience more polygons does not increase render time on a film quality renderer. You may run out of memory on the render farm machine but, as long as you're not out of memory, render speed doesn't decrease. Something the film industry uses all the time is alembic caches:…
2016 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- vs. 2017 And my year recap of 2017! I like to do this every year to see my progress. While last year I wasn't able to even fill the 9 spots, this year I had made too many projects. Left top is the oldest to bottom right is the newest. I am…
Hey there lxy57124, I'm not too sure what your issue here is as I can't read the popup dialog box in your screenshot, but have you installed all the latest service packs for Maya 2016? It's always the first thing I forget to do when I install a new version and every single time, most of the weird bugs I get get fixed once…
