The s90 and s95 are great pocket cameras. You can get a DSLR BODY for around that price, but try to replicate the lens range and speed of the s90 and you're looking at double if not triple the price. A 28mm equivalent f/2 is gonna set you back at least 300-600 dollars for a crop body camera. I shot with an s90 alongside a…
Greetings! I had some oral surgery done on an impacted wisdom tooth and had it removed. I have been out of commission for almost a week and just taking it easy. Just have to do it one more time in a month or so, hurray... A small update with some rough leg sculpting. A bit lumpy, still getting a feel for the shapes. The…
Thanks for the replies peoples! @ErichWK Of course I'll do everything you've said :D I totally agree with everything you've said, especially about the outdoor lights. Might be a job for tomorrow though, since I have piles of actual university work to do! @Wesley Thanks man, means a lot! Hope to see you there. @ParoXum OMG!…
Look at your screenshots with the painter's eye. Would you expect a bright grey or white object to shade all the way to pitch black in real life ? Now imagine any great looking stylized lowpoly asset presented that way. They would all look like ass. Tweak your ambient setting in your 3D app. Also have a preset when the…
Alright, so this might be more suited for another thread, but I'm going to post here since it's directly related to my current project. I've been trying to really hit the style of the Halo 4 rocks and I've gone through a good dozen sculpts to no avail. I'm not sure If I'm using the wrong brushes, not doing enough in making…
The only issue with procedurally gradient mapping in udk atm is the number of lerps you'd wind up putting in for more than a single color change. if you want a 2 color "gradient node" just make 2 color constants and lerp between them with the alpha being whatever your were gradienting over. You could do it in a custom node…
Wix is fine, it gives the most freedom of all website builders i tested, but yeah its only as good as you make it. The presets are definitely the worst. So bad for beginners good for designers with no web skills. In this case he should probably switch tho. What you need to do right now is just keep on modeling and doing…
Ideally you want AO bakes with everything together. Otherwise the stuff that's occluding the light isn't in the correct places and you don't get a proper representation of the AO. Just explode out all the parts that would be animated and have obviously misplaced AO should they move (e.g. the top of the magazine that's in…
Blender has made a lot of strides forward in UI and usability with 2.8. If you haven't tried it recently I recommend giving it another look, speaking as someone who has bounced off it multiple times in the past. Blender now has a hotkey (keymap) preset called "Industry Compatible" that replicates a lot of hotkeys from…
http://www.photo.net/learn/technology/mflash/merl-non-photo.html I saw this article on slashdot (surprise!) and figured it may be of interest to those that don't frequent the site. Here is a blurb from the article: [ QUOTE ] what does it do? The multi-flash camera's non-photorealistic images look like line drawings, but…
