Hey all polycounters, ive been working on this project for a while now and I've came to a bit of a design 'writers block' I'm trying to create a Perbilt 379 in the style of Twisted metal or Mad max, sort of weaponiazed road vehicles with whats easy to find at the time. I think my design a pretty weak at the moments so i'm…
In regard to functionality, id dont think there will be much between the 2 applications but isn't Bodypaint $1000? If this is really going to be 500 then that is some really stiff competition right there, which is great for consumers. :) Though you can have 32k maps, it doesn't mean you have to use them...it would work…
Just to put your numbers on income into perspective, the top .1% make a collective 325 billion dollars a year on average and the top .01% make 255 billion. If we taxed them at 50% and 80% respectively, we could pay down the deficit in a few years and fund universal healthcare, maybe even free vocational education. That's a…
Hey guys, I've been shopping around for a Wacom to do personal projects with (painting with a mouse is annoying now). While price shopping, I noticed that Amazon.com has a Wacom Intuos 5 Medium for $229. Considering an Intuos is around 349, I feel a bit skeptical about this price. Does anyone have any experience buying…
From the email I got from Corel: "Savings expire April 22, 2013 at midnight EDT" They offer this deal a few times a year (maybe twice?). Last time Painter was this price was 2012's "Cyber Monday" sale 11/24 through 11/29. They also offer Painter a couple of times a year at $229 new, $129 upgrade. Their usual sale pricing…
Ok, so I definitely hit a wall. No matter what I try I cannot pass uScreenTexCoordScaleBias into my function once i'm trying to do it in the diffusion subroutine instead of albedo. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I wrote the macro because I don't really understand how macros work... Either way, here's the code…
Hey Polycount. Long time fan and longest time lurker and I finally have something worth sharing. This started out as a fun little project of this camera but slowly blew up in scope. Here's the result : You can find more renders and a small animation on my artstation https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nE1Ko4
Hey folks. Working on this at the moment. It's a Błyskawica 9mm submachine gun designed and manufactured during WWII for the Polish resistance. Because these were resistance weapons, they were designed to be created in the workshops of craftsmen rather factories. More info here:…
Hello, I finished this robot character 7-8 months ago, and it's time to revisit. I'm completely re-doing the textures, and the scratch/bump detail in the normal map. So far I've re-done and re-baked a few UV islands so I don't get an ugly seam in the center, previously all UVs were mirrored. So he's ready to go, normal and…
