Absolutely right! i baked 4 unique feathers, and then duplicated them to create the whole wing...you get less variation potential once you go to texture the wing, but i think 4 uniue feathers can still grant me enough variation to make things interesting in color as well. The repetition is actually on purpose. If you…
Nice optimization! Just a thought, though, when optimizing I often find that selecting a ring and collapsing it can retain the silhouette a bit better than selecting a loop and removing it. There's uneven spacing where you removed the loops now. On the chimney, for example, if you had selected the middle ring and collapsed…
I had an interesting one like this too when I had to select every other polygon on the side of a cylinder. Point was to create a sprocket with teeth, for the Dozer DVD. I spent a while figuring things out with StepRing/StepLoop from the Graphite tools. I was really confused at first since it doesn't allow StepRing with…

sectaurs: i definitely see what ur saying. i actually did a couple different version before it but decided to go in this direction for a couple reasons. one, i reUVed the wings to take less texture space. two, i had the wings much larger and more natural lookin but they would have made my renders strange with the actual…
Are you sure it isnt an S-IPS panel you're thinking of? Because NEC sells S-IPS panels in the $2-3000 range. Everything i've ever read has said IPS is the high end king of all kings, and *VA panels are more midrange. But even here it lists S-PVA and MVA, no mention of "PVA".…

Nice paintin' skills tex. Durn-tootin'. /Spit *DING* Crits: - Too much lighting info in the diffuse. Specifically the highlights painted with what looks like one specific light source in mind. - Normal is missing info. No dents, dings, or noisy stone detail. - Spec is also your diffuse? Right now your diffuse works more…
I don't even know where to begin. For a class, the teacher wants me to create the wire frame of a human hand using only splines. Kinda like that, or the wire frame model they use for movies before they cover it with plaster. Any tips or advice to get me started? We did an example with a wedding ring box. We essentially…
