Energy conservation will kick in if your specular intensity is too high, most non-metals have around 2-8% reflectivity (linear space). Though it doesn't look like your spec map is super bright or anything so not sure that explains it, try turning off energy conservation though to see if that is the problem. What does it…
Hi Polycount i have a (probably) fairly simple question for anyone who uses marmoset to view the changes they make to their textures in real time. Whats confusing me is the specularity sliders for intensity, sharpness and fresnel. How can i tell what my specularity map will look like in the end if i can constantly change…
good point for sculpt centric builds/concentration. But considering most art creatives with such a 3D concentration have many other artistic visual interests? Even audio/music and design pursuits ( unless my bias is way off ) I imagine as much would be relevant for most? Particularly since Unreal seems to be full steam…
Texture flats. Didn't include the smaller utility textures and one I'm still working that has grunge in the red channel and a color mask in the blue. Trying to figure out what to slide in the other channels. Probably decals. Didn't do a good job of planning and now towards the end it's getting kind of messy. Something to…
Yea, shadows are a bit jaggy as well. The autoreload function is amazing, you can be texturing in photoshop and have marmoset open on the second monitor, and just click over to it and the textures update without having to click anything. Its a great tool for realtime preview of textures. After using it for a few days,…
Very nice :) Performance/Loadtime I'd be a bit careful of having 1700xSomething .png images scaled down. You'd be better off just having 1000xSomething that has gone through the Save for Web function of photoshop to save performance and done in .jpg I'm on a really fast line and it still took me a while to see the whole…
The problem with 'workstation' laptops is that they're often so damn big and heavy that it's like carrying a desktop round anyway, and even then you don't get a decent enough sized display to do any serious work on. Of course you could plug in an external display, but then surely you may as well just use a desktop? I…
The orc mount is your best piece. There's a decent amount of things to improve on that. But I've posted that in your orc thread. I would still put that first. Aside from the orc mount the thumbnail images or whatever they're called on your main page don't help showing your stuff off. Make your work fit that size better or…
Its hard to tell without a FPV shot, But it appears those floats on the back may have baked a shadow around the edge of them. Specifically the top segment, It has a black line over it, That i'd imagine you could just paint out in the AO. I would ad a few more segments to the strap at the point it rests on the stock as…
Well, that price seems really excessive for a laptop, if it was going to really be your main computer it wouldn't be a problem, however the fact that you're planing on building a good PC within 6 months makes me think that is just wayyyy to expensive. Can you last with the netbook? It will be a little faster than your…
