If by "historical" evidence you mean - Written by men at a time when... - The world was flat (and the center of the universe certainly) - The oceans were ruled by sea monsters - The first passages were written by a man who knew someone who knew someone, 60 years after that persons death. Is it that surprising that people…
Throwing a ground plane in makes sense if the ground is part of the 'occluding' geometry. Ambient occlusion is just a measure, from zero to one, of how much the near-by area lets light in to a point (where zero is no light and one is full light). It's a poor representation of higher frequency direct lighting, and should…
I've changed the hatch. It has moved a bit to the front and in my opinion it would allow easy access to the vehicle without moving the turret. The hatch is supposed to slide sideways performing a 90 degree rotation to the left side of the vehicle. As the hatch is now quite close to the angular intrusion on the hull I had…
You have some good detail in your painting, but you simply cannot see all the work you did because the painting came out a little blurry. You can fix this by creating a new empty layer then pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + E. This creates a visible duplicate of everything in your file. Then go Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask.…
Hey Bobo! Fantastic stuff as usual. Perfect blend of handpainting and baked info, inspirational!! I like how you didnt paint some kind of directional highlight, but more like natural wear and tear, sunlight induced discoloration and so on. Very very cool. On a side, I have a question regarding characters in the games…
[ QUOTE ] Judging by the reports from various demos they've given at game conventions/exhibitions around the world, at the moment it's quite unstable and slow. I'll be interested to see how people get along running it. From what I hear even pretty new high-end systems can chug a bit on medium graphics settings. I assume…
Hey polycount new n00b on the block I've been modeling for a very short time and I thought why not throw my stuff up here *shrug* feel free to have at me (haha) so Yesterday I came up with an idea (stupid idea once I realized that its way out of my league). After doing a character assignment which focused on the low to…
I am having a couple of issues that I cannot figure out how to fix while I am trying out the 30day trial of Photoshop CS4 . I am working on CS2 currently and was thinking of buying an upgrade, but I would like to figure out if it is worth the hassle. -Their is a nasty white outer glow on the pixel outline of the brush…
Hello guys. I've been studying 3d and digital painting a lot last years. But who follows my attempts here on forum knows that my strongest ability lies on painting. And I really have a lot to learn in both fields... This year I posted here some studies on hand painted models, what seems to be the perfect combination for a…
Hi Guys, this time I´m working on an architectural visualization of my college. We want to use it to show new students our campus with the Rift. Later on I´m also going to make a little fungame out of it with some students. But at first I have to get all assets in there and still be able to play the game with at least 60…
