Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
You don't need C/C++ at all to learn CG/HLSL. CG's a much easier language than C++ though they look similar in some ways. The biggest hurdle for a lot of people is not having the technical background information you need to learn quickly. It's important to get an idea of 3d maths and how the rendering pipeline works if you… -
Re: Jason_Gullion: Blizzard Student art contest
Lose the normal maps - Use them as a part of your texture if you want this to fit into the WoW universe. It's about the volume the maps add, not about dynamic lighting effects. The Tiling rock texture is missing secondary shapes and the tertiary detail is too noisy imo. Something less consistent through the whole texture… -

Re: 3DS Max - Can't 'deselect' edges or verts
Mark, you are the man. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out here, truly appreciate it. I managed to model a head today in Max, which I'm quite happy with. I did this with the Maya option ticked on, but maya selection in the mouse options set off. So I think it gives me a mix of the Two. It seems to work… -
Re: Maya modeling likness is it possible and if yes what tips or tutorials you reccomend?
If you mean likeness in terms of humanoids then depending on the requirements I'd search the web for film material, pause the film, put it under zbrish and make the app transparent and use that to sculpt over. If you just have a still there is an app that you can use to construct a face using presets and sliders ( don't… -
Re: Hawken Mech Bay WIP
Okay so I've spent a few hours revising the proportions of the objects and redoing the camera aspect ratio, I have it set up as a 2.094 ratio and I've changed the FoV accordingly to match the concept, currently sat at 69.3. Here is where I'm currently at with it. Before I continue with any other changes I'm going to get… -

Re: Female Character
While achillesian's paintover wasnt quite on the mark there is one thing that you need to learn in order to recieve the full benefit of peer critique. Try not to get too personally attached to your work. Its hard not to, but being defensive when receiving critique is not going to help you improve. Don't take critiques… -
Re: [UE4] HL2:EP2 Outland Hut Environment
I believe the lighting in the original does make some sense despite it being pretty blobby. It was baked, bounce light after all! The lighting in the original works because the interior isn't directly illuminated by the sun, so it's dark enough that the lantern and screens produce the most dominant illumination. The very… -
Re: the ultimate question fine art versus digital art
