Re: Link - WIP Thread
You should make him youger, he looks 60 on your sculpt ^^. Also you should do a concept which match whith your goal. If you show a concept with a 16 years old Link in a manga style and a sculpt of an old Link in a realistic style, we can't say if it's good or bad. The clothes are manga too, won't match with a realistic… -
Re: Choose your own adventure - the next environment challenge
My gut reaction is to go with the Traditional Painting, less thinking involved, just pure execution. Side Scroller sounds interesting though, I'd personally be more interested in re-creating/inventing other 8-bit or 16-bit era game environments rather than a beat-em-up. I'm going to give it some more thought before casting… -
Re: Can't bake normals without seams along polygon edges
yeah the new Service Pack for max takes care of the normal issues so head on over to Autodesk and dl and install. If you are still having problems with the bakes at least you'll know it isn't a problem with max's viewports.... -edit- upon further look at the normals it looks a little bit more than just max's viewports. Are… -
Re: deleted
Actually rethinking this a bit, I think that it could actually be a better bet to use Blinn-Phong because the roughness curve is more similar to Cryengine's even if the specular NDF is not. In the pdf they say that the roughness curve was made to behave similarly to a normalized Blinn-Phong with specular power equal to… -
Re: Tell me everything about 3D Printing
@slipsius and @Steve Schulze, Is there more info on those? I have a feeling this might be something students would do. Would like to provide references to back my standing when I explain it to them. Found this : http://rasterweb.net/raster/2013/05/16/printing-violations-part-iii/ I'll need to start editing the first post… -
Re: Jonathan Hardesty takes a photo of his drawing for over 9 Years
Interesting. I had a classmate when I was about 16-18 that just couldn't draw and didn't make any noticeable progress despite drawing 24/7, but when I found him om facebook 10 years later he was incredible. He apparently didn't give up. On a sidenote: Hardesty didn't change his beard, haircut or glasses for nine years? -
Re: Glitch / Special Map - Pixologic didn't even know about this?
It can be very very very useful for shading/texturing, and more when the depth is 16 bit color. For me it's another greyscale map, so very useful as the "curvature maps" that we can get with Zbrush or other kind of grey scale maps. Arguing about if it's useful it's a nonsense, play with it and find its utility. I can say… -
Re: zbrush poly paint question
I'm aware of how it works. What I'm wondering is if its an improvement over the previous incarnation. The tile methods aren't really an option for production work. What I'm hoping is that the update somehow squeezed extra detail out of each poly since "PolyPainting accuracy has increased from 8 to 16 bit" I want sooo bad… -
Re: Baking AO, what options do i have?
So that image is from Xnormal or MentalRay AO? If its MR/AO it seems pretty huge. Have you tried rendering a smaller size like 128x128 with smaller samples like 8 or 16. It sounds like your settings are probably cranked and its not hanging but just taking longer than you're willing to wait to solve an area. What are the… -
Re: Vintage Gas Pump
