Re: Revolver.
Its good to see you posting here dude! I will try to help you out the best I can, just make sure to post back with updates and questions. I am going to list my critiques in the order of which they happen in the pipeline, that way you can easily look back through your process and see how to fix them. 1) The highpoly base… -
Re: Working on the Train
Nice touch with the meta screenshot lol. I love the setup of this scene, though I did think the earlier shots had stronger compositions. A few other thoughts to apply to this or your next ventures, since you say you were pushing lighting and shading with this endeavor: Fabric - Firstly I thought the fabric was much more… -
Re: what exactly is an environmental map?
As you most likely know, spherical harmonics is a way of describing the diffuse lighting of an envioronment (as seen from a point in space, as always) by wrapping it around a sphere and deriving a cooefficiant matrix (per colour component) from the variation in lighting (as a frequency, not colour) around that sphere.… -
Re: toolbag 4 - ray tracing render shows UV seams
Sorry for the delayed response. The AO slot only darkens the diffuse ambient lighting in Toolbag for physically accurate reasons. Depending on your lighting setup (ie: if you have a lot of direct lights) it may not appear to have much of an effect. If lighting the scene with only the sky light, it's generally more… -
Re: [UDK] Mars Base
I'm a student myself, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt: -The Hallway seems very narrow compared to Sam Brown's concept pieces. -For this sci-fi style, everything should be minimalistic and sleek. Your lights right now feel very boxy and low-tech compared to the rest of the scene. -You should be playing with the… -
Re: Maxi´s Art Thread
Hey maxivz, you got some nice starts here. The second sculpt is definitely a huge improvement, you got some great harder shapes going there, some more definition and even sharper edges and baking that to a lowpoly and texture it and you got an awesome stone prop :) Glad to see my tutorial was of use, the normal looks nice,… -
Re: New Website Portfolio
Chinese Temple is clearly the best piece. Still, the materials are clearly generated with filters over the diffuse. The high tricount is also suspect as the building seems to have little detail. Not displaying the wireframe on this assets leaves a lot of questions. Old Industrial conceptually doesn't make much sense, but… -
Re: Environment (WIP) - Orient Express - Feedback/Criticize please
Hi SH4DOWM4NTIZ, coming along nicely! Good eye for detail. The rainy windows look great, but will work only for a train which has been standing for a while. The materials for the lamp and leather look excellent! The specular of the wood looks a bit too clean and broad in some of the shots. (Maybe not retouched yet. ) You… -
Re: Ethics Be Damned! - Year 3 University Project.
@Hotcreat, sorry I didnt reply sooner, didnt see your comment =P I usually start by creating a base mesh in Max, depending on the asset Ill use the base mesh as the final low poly. I then take this into Zbrush and sculpt any details and sometimes polypaint. When the sculpt is done Ill retopologise in 3d Coat or Max… -
Re: specular maps
Yeah that's a great article explaining a lot of the concepts. I wrote up a tutorial for Marmoset Toolbag here: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/materials Its for Toolbag specifically, but goes over a lot of general stuff like theory, how to research material types, and some examples of the actual content. The best…
