see, your issue is settling for AAA grass. What you want is to shoot for AAAA or even AAAAA grass, and land on AAA. Have you tried tutorials? Grass isn't just planes. The kind of grass you want is a multilayered terrain system with masks, procedural materials, and shaders. It's a lot of different systems meshing together…
A couple ways to do this. If you can write shaders (or have a node-based shader editor like Shader Forge) I'd suggest making a Saturn's-rings kind of mesh, as a billboard (always faces the camera). Tile a gradient around it as a mask, and use two noise textures scrolling in two directions to make the corona flares move.…
Thanks Overlord. I gave it a try, and here's the result. is it the default 3dsmax renderer that is the problem? ..i guess having the wing as just a single flat plane would be easier but i was kinda hoping to have it as a close up in part of a scene... one day, so was hoping to keep the shape. searched for any tutorials on…
If you cant find real references for this kind of armor then look at films and games, lord of the rings or ryse son of rome should give you something to use. heres a google search for elven armour, it looks similar.…
This is kind of funny to me, because when I switched to Maya from max for a feature film, I kept trying to find small scripts to replicate either basic functionality that had been in every other software since the 90s, or useful add ons from max. Either they didn't exist at all (and 4-5 did for max) or in the case of the…
Updated the stock. This looks a bit more usable, plus it's adjustable (both vertically and horizontally). Here is what the pump looks like extended. This area is kind of dumb, so it's up for revision next... but if I'm not receiving any feedback I'll just assume it's fine, that or I come off as a dick, either way, the…
Got an invite to play some more rounds yesterday, and i grudgingly joined, i was kinda over the demo. But i'm with Sicsided. It feels like there's been some major stealth updates to make the Director just more kick ass. We were playing expert and every round was just flat out fun. Can't wait to see what kind of uncommon…
I've played Diablo 2 and Starcraft more than any human should be allowed to play a game ( competetively, and in a legit D2 PvP clan). And the one style choice that bothered me about the SECOND game from the First game was how I wasn't ever scared witless in the second one. In the first one, when we first encountered the…
Of course its him, he had this in his signature for a while "Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta"" which is some kind of cheesy quote from Lord Of The Rings which he mentioned in 50 % of his posts, and look at his name it has 17 in it and he repeatedly mentioned his age (17).…
A little Wood material i wanted to use for colored surface with some chips in the surface. basically everything can be changed. From Detail, Color, Brightness degree of paintcoating. Started out with only a picture of wood that i liked (looked for kind of japanese wood with nice rings in it), delighted it, created a…
