Re: justifiable price for a computer? or overkill
3000$ is absolutely insane if you ask me. I do a ton of gaming and 3D rendering/Dynamic Range Image stitching and I never run out of memory/threads. I just recently upgraded my PC for 450$ with 6 gigs of ddr3 ram, the quad core 955 AMD Proc., a 4870 HD 1 Gig Vid. Card and a 1 terrabyte HD and this will easily last me for… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 10 Concept Thread
I also don't really get the temple, it's the same as the last one, just another setting. just adding another suggestion: (altough people that have done a couple of challenges might be tired of the sci-fi'ish stuff by now) Maybe it might look a bit much at first, but if you analyze it I don't really think it would be that… -

Re: Autodesk Maya help! Trying to build an animated texture rig
You can either use expressions or connect attribute nodes directly. Maya is all node based, so just because something is a geometry or NURBS node doesn't mean it can't be fed into a shader node. If you select a polygon or NURBS object in your main window and open the Hypershade window, and select Graph > Input and Output… -
Re: Lantern Prop - Material Practice
Oh sorry I just assumed it was Marmoset 2, my mistake, and I think sltrOlsson made the same mistake as well. For Marmoset 1 you will want to bake in some AO into the diffuse and spec map to get the best results. For the diffuse make it a darker color, like a dark brown, around 50 out of 255 so the metal will start to look… -
Re: A couple of Unity questions
1. You can edit Snap Settings under Edit>Snap Settings, and hold control while transforming to snap. 2. By default unity applies a 0.01 scale multiplyer to imported models. You can change this in the import settings for the model. You always want to setup your scene so that 1 unit is equal to 1 meter, if you dont your… -

Mudbox 1 have curves... If they didnt change the menus in the beta of new Mud, here is how to do it. 1:Go to Curves > Create new curve. Draw your curve (a straight line in this case). IIRC It s gonna act as a stencil. IE you can have 1 curve and roate move zoom the model and the curve will stay as it is (not sure if you… -
Re: 32bit depth pass maya 2010?
If by 32 bit you mean 24 bit color with 8 bit alpha/transparency, then I have something working. Also, if you're wondering about a file format, .tif works fine. Its lossless and supports alpha channel transparency. Here is how you will have to set up your render layer for a depth pass with transparency though: Step 1 -… -
Re: Brawl² Challenge / Competition, Vote and discussion?
Going to have to respectfully disagree with this one, not the stuff about no AI, that is totally fine, but about having no limitations. I don't think you can accurately judge a 1 billion triangle super detailed sculpt piece against a low poly hand painted piece, it's a problem I feel that has popped up with other… -
Python import path issue
Hi, I'm wrting a 3D importer to Toolbag at the moment. My app is passing the path to the FBX and invokes Toolbag with an import script and that path as arguments. It all works fine if the path and name don't contain any special characters.But when I have some polish letter (and I guess any other special characters) it…
