I'm super excited about a lot of the upcoming games for 360. As far as everybody ranting about ps3 graphics being so much better that it's going to make it a better system, I did an interesting "quiz" lately. I took screenshots from Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect and Final Fantasy 13 and placed them all in…
I would recommend modeling it out with actual brick meshes, if you really need the silhouette to be affected. Most of the time you don't, a good normal map does wonders. Plus you can add individual low-res brick meshes here and there to emphasize edges. Here's an older example that combines two tiled textures, plus a bit…
100% agree with James I started learning MODO about 14 months ago, but it wasn't until the past couple of months that I switched to 3ds max and wanted top create higher polished assets rather than a HUGE environment, not just yet anyways. I have limited advice, but the ones I follow would be: 1. make an Artstation account…

Hey guys, I've had this annoying problem with DDO where the top row icons (open reimporter, save smart material, etc..) are all gone. Yesterday I saw the hotfix on the other thread and decided to give it a try. The icons did come back, but the reimporter still doesn't work. I'm trying to add an AO map to an existing…
EZ eveyone, its my 1st post here! Anyway I've just finished modelling and unwrapping a syringe I've been working on. Its fairly hi-poly, so I wanted to make the UV map fairly high res too. I want to export the template as a 4096 image, but every time I click "Render UV template", I get the error message thats shown in the…
