Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?
I agree with Warren, you shouldn't tie your masculinity to something like "being the bread winner". Personally I think that's pretty old school thinking from the 60's or 70's. I look at it as a sign of weakness when someone ties their self esteem to pointless metrics like "I must make more money than her at all times".… -
Re: How Not to Be Professional
Im beginning to like these guys. After reading the artist bios I think I might have to apply for a job. With standards this low, and and few choice nothings like "raising the bar, redefining the genre, and ofc, anamorphic lens flare," well, I could probably spend 8 hours a day doing nothing, playing pinball, drinking… -
Re: Quixel SUITE - News
Maybe I'm a bit confused about materials here. But if we're using PBR in 3DO, why do we have access to diffuse intensity? Surely diffuse and specular are inter-mixed based on the gloss slider/control map? I'm struggling to know how to set the diffuse/specular sliders here, it seems like once PBR is set then these should be… -
Re: Horned Reaper
I had a look around, I remember playing the game years back, I think you could make him a little more like the creature from the game with a few adjustments, it's easy to do realistic/wildly different versions of a character like Mario or Mickey Mouse because (a) they're so well known iconic characters and (b) they have a… -
Re: Sculpting prop issues...And passing them to UE4
Make your highpoly however you like. Derive the lowpoly from the high or edit it so the there is no inter penetration with the high poly. Separate out overlapping parts like the thin bars by A/ exploding the mesh or B/ putting them in UDM space (seperate UV). There can be no interpenetration of the high poly model and the… -
Re: Converting Montana coal to oil?
[ QUOTE ] What nobody has brought up is the fact that most all plastics are made from types of oil. Lubricants come from oil. Not just gasoline/petrolium. This is a tough problem. [/ QUOTE ] Good point. In fact, I think a majority of oil consumption goes to things other than fuels. Like you already mentioned: plastics,… -
Re: Village Houses - Environment Art
@Ashervisalis @mcgillchris Thank you guys! I toned down the sky a bit as well as the lanterns so hopefully its looking slightly more eerie and more contrast-y. I also added a few lanterns which are switched off as you suggested. Unfortunately a lot of the brightness in the background is being caused by the inter -… -
Re: makin' moves
Why do you want it? I worked at this one place that had a great pipeline they sold me during the interview but not at all in practice. Day 2 of my job I figured out what I thought could work. I realised only a few months later whilst reading my journal that the ideas I had thought up were the ones that eventually worked.… -
Re: Modeling Tool?
If i understood correctly your initial point, Benton, you are searching a "modelling" tool. And if so, you should consider Wings3D, before laugh about it. Wings3D had in the last years at least two terrific programmers working in its development: Andrew Shpagin (3D Coat creator) and Richard "Optigon" Jones. I am not… -
Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
Thanks Stradigos I checked out Tom's Hardware, Its a pretty intimidating site at first but once you get to know your way around its amazing! I've been checking benchmarks for games I play (I can't look past a good chart :P) but focussing more on their reviews and recommended cards. Tom's confirms that the Radeon 6850 is a…
