Re: Looking for critique
I would argue that you should present your textures the way they are. To me, when I see the "cleaned up" version it doesn't tell me that the person who made it knows that you should blend/extend the edges, it just looks like they painted within the lines. If you really want to make it clear where the uvs are, add an… -
Re: Kevin Bryant - Maxscript thread
Nothing much to thank for, really. Sometimes it's better, sometimes not, here it's more for simplicity's sake. As for manipulating pivots, I would probably just make a checkbutton for that - I think there's some global or function returning if you are currently in Affect Pivot Only mode, but a simple checkButton should be… -
Re: [Painter] Performance, Painting, and Height L32F
To extend the compression idea, there COULD maybe be something where I could right click layers and set them to "frozen" mode or something so Painter could optimize them in some way so painting below them would become faster? I dunno... As it is now, once I get beyond a handful of layers, working at 4096 is a no-go. Even… -
Re: WIP - Cathedral Fighting game Environment
Thank you for the critique! I will be doing 2 variations of this level. One with a taller and longer hallway and one to the scale shown before. The smaller hallway was there just for the scale of the class project. I will however when this project is over going to extend the hallway. I will be doing a camera fly-through… -
Re: Do you freelance or work at a studio?
In terms of flexibility, I can say a lot of the time when I was a working at a studio was wasted on commuting each week without being on the clock. 1 to 1.5hrs of commuting a day can equal almost a full day of work each week. This extra time really pays off with freelancing. Benefitting both the project completion… -
Re: Intel plans to make your motherboard and CPU a into single part.
Don't forget that while the cost of the very best may increase, the quality of the very worst is also increasing all the time. Even bargain basement laptops are good enough for most 3D artist tasks now, they all come with multicore, loads of RAM and programmable graphics cards. They might not be up to scratch for running a… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge Ausgust 2015 (33)
Ta-da! First time ever using Zbrush! I used some sculpting videos for advice and made a hi-poly plank. I duplicated, transformed and rotated the plank a few times in Max to make a square area, then used XNormal to bake the hi-poly group down onto a texture for normal and AO. Using the AO map as a starting point I made a… -
Re: Obama signs the NDAA into law
I know voting is supposed to be the best tool the people have to help shape the future of the country. But I cant help at feel that billboard is merely extending the "right vs. left" dialogue that big business and lobbyists want everyone to be having. I wouldn`t consider a single candidate that is up for office, better for… -
Re: I almost got arrsted for this model
About 13 years ago, I ended up getting a visit from the MIB after taking some photos up near a restricted military installation in the Florida panhandle. People don't like photographers, especially not when you're out taking pictures of sensitive things like electrical substations, oil facilities, and radio towers.… -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
To pretty much reiterate what perna (among others has stated) Max will in most cases allow you to complete a common modelling task in less clicks/gestures/actions some common modelling actions being... eg. connecting some verts with an edge, separating a selection of faces from the body of a mesh, bridging the gap between…
