The heads on the bottom remind me of gargoyles and their original use as drain-spouts. The metal grates on the columns seem like they'd be for a brazier of some sort, and I'd expect a latch & hinges on them, and for a hollow space behind to hold the burner. I can't quite tell what is on the capital - winged seashell? It…
I think what it maens to take games seriously is to believe that games have value. So I suppose this includes game developers, etc. If it doesn't matter to some people, I have to think that's is alright. It is just something you can believe has value. Nothing wrong or right about it. Actually I'm fine if they disrespect…
Sooo Sooory guys, The better half said i had to go to bed and turned the PC off. It was running for a while, and the people that were in had a good ping, it is a 2mb connection but i had the max players set to 5 so for locals it was pretty good (50-100 ish). I dont know what it would be like for the rest of europe,…
it appears there aren't many fans of the Pencil tool... lol. Noobs! :poly124::poly142: Then again, i am terrible at naming threads. Did some more testing on a few other machines & from some friends who also use CS4, they were having similar problems as well. Submitted a bug report to Adobe... so we'll see how that goes. I…
This result can be achieved with pretty much anything standard grey and any kind of indirect illumination. set your skylight over 1 to as much as you need. A quick test here i set it around 2 actually. With mR and latest versions of 3dsmax add an Arch & Design Material reduce reflection and enable AO in the Special…
Pretty damn fine for your first try 2 things I'd change: - The damage. You could use some more nicks and dings on the blade itself, as well as a colour change where it connects to the wood (rusty orange or maybe a greenish blue). I think that could really make this pop :) - AO. Add some cool dark tones where things connect…
hey Zero, Yeah I understand what your saying...If you look closely the 'table' in the background is based on a plane tail wing and the side table is another part of an airplane. I'll have to see if I can find my reference art. I made this peice awhile ago. I didnt want to over due it, I was going for more of a modern room…
i need to change the uvw map on the wings, after poop was kind enough to give the model a once over earlier. thanks poop! also, before i release it, should i re-arrange the smoothing groups so its all one group, or leave tehm how i have them set up? either way, i guess you can all change the smoothing to suit your own…
I was referring to the shading going to black/dark quite abruptly in some places, so it almost looks like a black outline rather than a surface relief. Might be something funky going on with the parallax as well, because the grey texture is not a height map, at least as far as I can tell. Did you use some kind of converter…
i keep getting this result where it seems like a channel is being completely missed. it happened more than once, i've always managed to make it "reappear" but i don't know how i did and what is causing the issue. both meshes have been triangulated and i did all the basic procedures to bake this kind of texture. I've used…
