Get FFDSHOW!!!, its a codec enhancing program and comes packed with a ton of neat audio and video filters. most notably is the sharpen… -
Re: Look what followed me home!
Cats are better than dogs anyway. They're way easier to take care of, and they have more personality. Dogs generally all have the same personality (which isn't a bad personality, mind you... I also like dogs), while cats usually have an individual personality. I think that's why some people don't like cats, because you… -
Re: Looking for friendly advice on how to get the ball rolling
Hi! Things you can try to get your hands dirty: * Bi-monthly challenge (any challenge really). Why it helps: fixed duration, concepts to work off, others potentially doing the same subject with perhaps different approach, gives reason to think about and articulate workflows. Fill additional parameters like style-specifics… -
Re: ZBrush - Using an alpha additive and subtractive at the same time
Hi guys, thanks for your help and yes - I can imagine that a -1 to +1 range could help ... but it seems ZBrush isn't able to understand these. I remapped the alpha in SD and exported it as tga/psd/tiff but it doesn't work. The output is still the same but now shrinked as you can see in the SD screenshot. On the other hand… -
Re: {Finished} 1996 Toyota Crown Comfort.
Update: I've modelled the fog lights and put together most of the UV for the car. Some additional improvements here and there like reducing the poly count of those little marker lights like Chadwick suggested and small improvements to the front bumper. -
Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
Hi! Took a look at the files and at the lowpoly exported from Painter and wrote down some thoughts (some not on issue): I think big part of the issue your describing is that the difference of the curvatures between high and low of the gorget is too great - but the highpoly would be best improved as well (see below). Low… -
A Little Bit Lost When It Comes To Rigging Armor
Hey everyone, hope all is going well for you! I'm currently stuck at the point where I need to start rigging armor for a character in a game I'm working on. Some of it is straight-forward enough, but parts such as the shoulder plates have me a bit lost. Basically they need to have upward movement, but only to a certain… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures
technically its the same? you can create the same values and materials. just with different channels, gloss is the same as roughness. and making the diffuse black and coloring the spec isnt something that couldnt be authored much the same way. but besides all the regulations and simplifications that came from those. metal… -
Re: Do 3D/VFX artists get the same creative freedom as concept artists?
there is some creative freedom or maybe rather various level of creative boundaries to adhere to. unless you do designs in 3d, yes you will be following other peoples visions. that doesnt mean you only have to follow a concept artists design, but also make sure the end result is in line with the final product, many levels… -
Re: Houses - Rent or Buy?
Ok so, I went ahead and did some more calculations here, when we compare an average per month cost of $1884 renting, vs $2300 owning. I changed the rental number because of the limitations of a Roth IRA, the per year difference here is the max($5,000) you can put in a Roth IRA each year. But please play along anyway.…
