Re: The Nvidia Normal map Photoshop Filter????
when painting things, start on a gray base (50%), and paint it like a bump map. apply the filter, and check the 'use multiple layers' option... otherwise you have to flatten your image, copy, back up history, and paste. I try and keep a dup copy of the stuff i paint (bump details) and have a base gray layer, or use an… -
Why companies don't update their software?
In one of their recent videos guys from FlippedNormals said that when a company starts a project, they stick to the version of software they started with. So if they started with "3D Software 5.1" in 2013 and the production takes 5 years, in 2018 they're still working on 3D Software 5.1. I find it hard to believe. However,… -
The ways of handling a project
So, I'm sitting here writing an 'Making of' for my marauder piece, I completed little under a month ago, and that has made me reflect on how I handle projects starts and what kind of "rituals" do I go through before I start making any art at all, and this has left me wondering, how do you guys handle projects? Everything… -
Re: Maya batch render bug
A few questions: 1) What are your render settings for the batch render? 2) Are you using render layers? If so are all the lights/objects in those layers? 3) What version of Maya? The only things I can think of are if you're using render layers, you might not have included that light and some of the mesh in the render… -
Re: How long do your 3D projects take to complete?
1 - 6 months, sometimes more if i am like, .. "well i do not know this thing right now" & either have to figure it out myself or use someone else's solution for it, which i usually do not do. A calculated time-frame I've never really done, i heard about all them timers but how 100% accurate are they really and you have to… -

Re: WIP gears of war Single player lvl
http://theinterlock-gear.blogspot.com/ That guy has a tutorial on getting checkpoints to work. As for the terrain crashing when you add layers I also had that problem. If I remember correctly the solution was not adding layers via the terrain editor but adding them through the properties box of the terrain. You double… -
Re: Need Help Creating a Black Dragon Model - How Can I Improve?
i.e. imgs(attempt/progress) or it didn't happen :p :) You get reference images, a reference guide to "correct" dragon anatomy and start doing skeleton, then muscles, then the skin, then the details? worry bout color later. Looking forward to it, the last "custom dragon attempt", i made a long while back, no one grooved… -
[WIP] Church Diorama
Hi guys. I just started studying Video Game Art production and picked a project that I am trying to create a diorama for. I've done some blockouts for my art-bible and it is essentially a church, which is part of a monastery that was built inside a mountain, so the church is protruding out from the cliff side. I though I… -
Re: Maya use background shader with final gather bounce?
Yeah did a tonne of research and trial with that mip_matteshadow today, it actually does not support final gather light bouncing when it's set to not render so it's kind of useless. My whole problem was I couldn't get the light bounce I was after and the alpha channel I wanted since the ground plane bouncing the light had…
