@BucketOfNuggets Yeah, I will look into this! I might do a more "original"-pipeline approach similar to my Kappulus Rocks but with a lower the res and no normal maps...maybe? Rocks might feel more fresh (made back when I was a student (2013-2014 somewhere) :) ) Not sure If I want sharp angles on the rock walls thou, but I…
From your terminology I assume you are using Maya. The large cloth draping over the shoulder and elbow will be very difficult for you to get working. It'll need it's own bones and constraints if you don't want to babysit it while animating. I recommend making it shorter and smaller. At work, as a tech artist, I would…
I know how to make polygonal hair using alpha planes.I am looking into trying out strand like simulated hair instead of polygonal ones. I recall this was possible in tombraider 2013 as well as with Alice madness.I downloaded the nvidia hair demo and it runs smoothly on my laptop.Is there a way to incoporate nvidia hair…
Also regarding your problems with slowing the particles down: Velocity Over Life is a better approach for what you're trying to do. The setup would be: *Create the module *Change your distribution to ConstantCurve *Set LockedAxes to XYZ, this way you can set only X and it will use the values across all axes *Set a keyframe…
Was doing some tests, makes me feel like I am doing something wrong: Wanted to test the tangentspace switch, but the 3dsmax wasn't giving the result I was expecting (but looks fine inside max) Then did another bake in Xnormal 3.17.16, normal map is looking as I would expect it to in PS. Converted the normal map in…

I still like 32 inch hdtv for monitors, some are just amazing in both color range and quality. If one were to move away from the tv and want a gaming + art experience... then something like the LG Ultrawides. They are made for gaming and workstation use (graphics). See:…
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I ended up finding a bunch of articles from Envrinoment artists going over what it takes to get into the industry and they pretty much laid it all out. Interesting to note they all recommend drawing. For anyone with a similar quandry, heres the better pages I found:…
WebM is a container format especially created for Internet streaming. This open source video container is developed by Google based on Matroska and encoded by VP8 and Vorbis (updated to VP9 and Opus since 2013). MP4, abbreviated term for MPEG-4 Part 14, is also a container format following ISO/IEC standard, but more…
Hello there! Thanks guys for your comments! And I will try to make my scene as close as a Double complementary Harmony (Like a lots of landscape paints), it's for that purpose that I did the light of the cryo red. The thing I will make it a beacon light (animate the light flickering)! that would give more sense. I am kind…
