Hi, thank you for stopping by and for kind words. Sorry for the late reply, I was a little daunted with the task. Lately I've spent not as much time as i would like to on this project. Currently I'm struggling with a tree. I did identify it, and I think I've done it correctly, to my understanding the main tree on the ref…
hmm yeah, the textures are incredibly noisy, too much contrast ranging from black to almost white. You need to bring that to a more natural level. If you go to CGtextures under brick, you'll find lots of similar textures you can use as a base. I will usually up the contrast in those textures just a little notch. Yeah, i…
That is just extremely low res but not stretched. This is a huge asset, so even a 16k texture wouldn't provide appropriate resolution from close up. Imagine that you lay out a 4k texture on a 4m area. That would look acceptable from closer too, but it would start to look like your picture as you go closer and closer. So…
Thanks! I'll play with that when I next work on this scene! :) I made some leaves for the scene. I used an image from online and produced the normal map and 5 different colours from that. Here's one of them. they're going to be autumn colours so the five I currently have are a mix of oranges/reds/auburns/browns/yellows I…
Jeff- Thanks again for the input. I don't mean to say I will be programming everything. That's like saying I will paint and do art as good as I can now if I had never done art in my life. I understand people have code in their blood and I don't. I want to get a foundation though so I can make prototypes. Also, my 5-10 year…
Hey, Sam! Unfortunately, your hardware meets what I would consider to be the minimum requirements for 4k painting. 16 GB of RAM can be sluggish depending on the amount of layers being used across the different maps in your dDo project. I definitely don't recommend trying 8k painting with 16GB, but if you do, here's some…
Heh, cheap shot... like it. Architects have a reason to be elitist, they are required to do 5 years of Uni by law... since construction fortunately has a lot of legal regulations, and building design is a science as much as an art. As for dodging a bullet, I don't know what you are geting at. I worked Arch-Viz for 4 years…
Wasn't going to reply to this cause I thought it might be derailing but looking at the last two pages who gives a shit: I doubt you're going to find many people defending the 2s bracket as its always been more about statistics and countercomping than anything else... Which I think is why Blizzard removed gladiator from it…
Here are some quick guidelines to check your facial proportions: From the front: 1. Eyes are halfway between the top of the head and bottom of the chin. 2. The eyebrow, somewhat above that (use reference) 3. The bottom of the nose is halfway between the eyebrow and the bottom of the chin. 4. The bottom of the lower lip is…
