Hi guys, I'm currently looking to texture a character of mine, who I've concepted to have robotic arms with energy flowing through them. The kind of energy I had in mind is very similar to Algalon from World of Warcraft (linked below) which features a translucent, astral kind of texture.…
What he says here half makes sense and half doesn't. "because its dark" - this bit makes no sense. Materials do no become less reflective when less light hits them, this is simply nonsense. If you multiply AO on your spec, this means that if you have a dynamic light pointed directly at that section, it will not reflect at…
I was thinking this as well...anti matter is energy. Just a different type of new energy. In my original idea the Gun would not produc Recoil. But now that he brought it up...the bottom part of the model is BORING :p So I have re designed he bottom part, and am modeling it, to both look visually pleasing, and be able to…
Thanks, guys! Good to hear that things are running smoothly on integrated graphics, too :) @Jesse Meyer: The bloom and dirty lens effects themselves are energy-conserving, meaning, they are not blended additively like most would suspect. Basically, the lens dirt effectively 'scatters' light without actually adding light…
Take the energy you're investing in this, and use it to get closer to your goal. Whether that be contacting more companies, polishing your portfolio, or something else. Consider looking for some freelance work to pad both your 'folio and your resume. Make yourself more attractive to employers. The harsh truth is that this…
ahh yes - good thinking - i had the legs so when it shoots u know it stays in the ground... but of course when it rotates the other way it has one less support. okay i've decided to go with Energy ball shell styles.. like bullets but not gunpowder.. energy... here's two renders. the first one it's unloaded ( i havent made…
I've seen this before, and thought it was an interesting partial solution to our energy crises. Dubai is amazing for architecture, but all the money that can be bought/bartered/stolen to create artistic buildings for the rich is a bit over the top. I have the pleasure of knowing an architect that is purposing a 35 building…
Quad Cap is a 3Ds Max script that is designed to produce fast quad caps for even sided polygons saving you time and energy. Why do it manually if you can do it automatically? Here are some of the benefits you get: • Save time and energy to model what’s really important • Perfect quad topology for you cylinders and spheres…
He also stated: "By "PBR" I just mean the prettiest shader I could muster in Blender's viewport ;) " Specular transition is easy to implement, roughness...not so much. Another things missing are energy conversation and the way reflections behave (you know all that flipping and stretching) [I could be wrong on this one]. I…
I try and do a few miles of biking, max speed, every other morning to keep up energy. I find doing my max helps for feeling healthy. I'm not going for endurance or anything so I think it works. I also find I'm not sitting in the same position long. I often change my seating position and every so often I get up and walk…
