You could definitely improve the texture resolution by not using an "atlas" layout, but instead using tiled textures, and mixing damage with vertex color. We have some info on this in the wiki. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/MultiTexture and if you check my Sketchbook, I share some shader graphs for making these kinds of…
There are functions like CheapContrast: The CheapContrast function boosts the contrast of an input by remapping the high end of the histogram to a lower value, and the low end of the histogram to a higher one. This is similar to applying a Levels adjustment in Photoshop, and pulling the black and white flags in a bit. The…
This was a very helpful answer, thank you very much for taking the time to share this. Maya (2026). poly modelling with the end goal of ending up with sub-division ready model, so am working with maya's smooth preview to constantly preview the sub-divided model For Sub-D/poly-modelling I would normally use the relax…
Hey guys, I've been getting some great feedback on how to improve so I decided to work on one of Shockwave's Quicksilver concepts. Man, there are some sick designs there!

OK, thanks for the response. I get it now. Although imho this UX is not intuitive. I would expect Launch Quick Pipe to launch the menu not execute a contextual fucntion. Also in that menu you should have a complete list of options including 'run start-up page again', 'open command lister' etc. Also your documentation lacks…
Thx for the crits. Some things aren't perfect. Some are justified others maybe less. Not sure about the missing tricep part? The wrap are on the part where the blade isnt sharpen. ( like the base of a hunter's knife) For the pants. You may be right since I didn't study every possibilities of probable wrinkles. Just…
I have a 9x12 monoprice and dig it a lot. 90 dollars for a very solid, functional tablet. No pen eraser and I had to fight with drivers a bit, but you can expect smooth, tactile input and a fraction of the wacom cost. Basically my personal experience is: The Ray Frenden reviews linked above are accurate.
