it's a bit beyond what you can do with a stateless pixel shader effect afaik. standard curvature is doable with a sobel (like) filter but this needs to consider a much larger range if you want to mask by a specific normal direction though - just dot(normal, other normal)
Hey man, keep it up! Your cloud studies show a nice range in understanding for texture and blending. I'd like to see more anatomy sketches. Point of observation though, when pencil sketching try and be more loose with the material. All of your lines seem to be a consistent line weight and it just seems like you need to…
The fact that you're even asking a question like that will mean your entry portfolio will prolly surpass the graduation portfolio of your classmates in a few years time!!! Most unis put more emphasis on traditional skills at the beginning because not everyone will have access to the hardcore PCs and expensive software…
Maybe someone can get this to work 100% of the time. http://www.bryancavett.com/edgeSlice.ms I'm getting the length of the first edge and a point clicked on the edge. Getting a percent from it and using it on the slide option for the connect command. Then I run a edge ring and connect with the new slide settings. Sometimes…
I love Ben Mathis's site, every time I have a question I will check there first. [ QUOTE ] 1) Everything does NOT need to be one continuous mesh. [/ QUOTE ] I guess it has kinda stuck in my head to extrude everything rather than to combine. From now on that will probably change. [ QUOTE ] 2) Too many polys where it doesn't…
Howdy. :) I'm looking to hire somebody to make a 3d model of the main character for an indie game that I'm developing and to rig it so that I can animate it myself for whatever purposes necessary. I'd like to stylize the character with a cel-shaded look to make it look more cartoon or anime-esc, which is the style I'm…
Your lighting is crushing your black really badly, I applied an inverted S curve to your image to bring it back into a sensible range. This could be down to your monitor display? It might be worth getting other opinions but I have confidence that my monitor is pre calibrated. Overall the scene is look cool and has great…
@Lazlow, his beard is beautiful :) BTW, guys, how old do you think this dude is ? I'm seeing sculpts of him ranging from between 30 yrs old to like late 60yrs old here. :P Alright, managed to bring total points down to 15mil. So... 30m tris ? Had to delete some highest subdiv. (hopefully no one will look so close to see…
Hey, Layout and prop placement etc. is looking sweet, although its very very dark so making it hard to see that. Checking the histogram in photoshop, it's tonal range is aaalll down the black end. Your mood board is dark as well but it might be nice to just bring it up the black a little bit. You could brighten up your…
the way parents view disciplining their children nowadays simply baffles me... they had an interview with them first thing this morning on the Today Show that was different from this one... they said the punishment aside from no video games is that he is grounded for only 4 days... this wasn't a "mistake", this was an…
