Re: Do you prefer accurate ware detail or accurate reflectivity?
I decided to test myself and make a quick prop from beginning to end. Here's is the reference I used: Here is the time I recorded for each step: And here is the the prop I made: Again, this was all rushed, but I never felt like making the actual roughness/reflection map was all that time consuming. I would actually say… -
Re: Rigging problem Maya 2012
if your working on non deforming geometry like a robot you can use the rigid bind instead of the smooth bind. you don't have to do weight painting that way and it has a faster computation. as for your geometry moving it could be a few things. 1. if you have your geometry in grouped hierarchy's then there could be double… -
Re: Servbot - Long Overdue Brawl Contest Entry
I love the model but I have to agree that the textures are letting this piece down. Everything has a bit of a concrete feeling to it, apart from the butt which is more of a polished marble :D (since it's so reflective and shiny) The specular map on the head is causing it to look super noisy and random. And since the head… -
Re: [Portfolio] Eric Topf, Environment/Prop Artist
That's sort of what I'm working on actually. Mind you, the models are not final, hence the "rough whitebox" aspect of it. But the scene is what I've conceptualized and would love one day to finish as something in Unreal (including animations, visual effects, etc.). One nice bit of feedback I got recently from someone at… -
Re: Max export to Maya failing.
OK, you get the happy fun fix. Open your .obj in a text editor, something like Notepad++ that shows line numbers. Jump to line 42612 and make sure all the numbers on that line are different values. If I see two numbers, like 599 and 599, just add or subtract a 1 so they're different. Resave your .obj and try to open it. I… -
Re: FINISHED : Durga, Hindu Goddess
Got some in-depth critique from one of my art heroes and made a lot of improvements based on that over the weekend. Basically all of the textures have been overhauled, the face has been completely rebuilt, and the presentation improved a bit as well. Now I'll continue on with the extra arms and weapons. I'll be running a… -
Re: M1911-A1 (first firearm)
Glad to see that that fixed your problems. Just some small issues, mostly pincing, I'm not saying this to be annoying :p but just if you would fix these it would go from a "okay-ish" to "that is looking nice" model. Red= pinching/weirdness Green= Watch your edge widths, those are the biggest offenders. Green 1) This area… -
Re: Mole420 Art Thread
Got the low polys for the tools sorted today, managed to pack all 9 of them onto 1 texture sheet and also brought the tri count down a little its now at 1476 total, although in these shots theres more than one of some assets this is just as I find it easier to have duplicates at different angles when working on textures as… -
Re: Forum Skin Thievery
Hello :) 1 - I turned the old (re: OLD) theme off when I was trying to fix a bug last night. It wasn't meant to stay disabled. 2 - Eventually that theme, and its wide counter-part, will not be an option to use. This isn't happening any time soon, and it will be with proper reason. For now, though, its enabled. 3 - This is… -
Re: Amy Winehouse, dead @ 27
Well, from what I have heard she rejected any help, help that could (and 99% would) have saved her life, and if something's dumb enough to not consider it's own survival* then I'm calling it as nothing of value was lost. Pandas, I hear, have to be coerced into survival (apparently no sex drive = no species), but they're…
