Re: Bulb in gaming asset
Lightbulb? Single sided is the common way to create this. The inner surface of an enclosed glass object is usually not rendered in a real-time renderer, because they usually render only the closest layer of glass. -

Re: Tom Hiddleston Game character personal project
Hello 😀 long time no see so i started working on the pants let me know what you think also am wondering, should i add surface details in zbrush or leave it later in texturing fase? such as fabric surface details? i think to my self to just do everything in zbrush and export out different layers and bake them separately to… -
Re: [FINISHED] Viking Mountain Pass Environment
Oh i see whats happening. There is a lot of surface variation in those rocks' normal texture. So i expected some of those surfaces to cast shadows... silly me :) . Maybe use some strong AO to mitigate that. -

Re: where do i put my loops!!
When working on things like curved surfaces with holes, especially when there gonna be turbosmoothed required a bit of pre-planning. It might work out easier to model in holes into a flat surface then use FFD to get the required shape. -
Re: The end of poly modeling...? What...?
CAD is very interesting. Clean booleans, every time, and mathematically perfect surfaces. For some operations, it can't be beat. But it's hard to swap between polygons and CAD surfaces so you have to pick up front ... choose wisely. :) -

Re: Triangles vs. quads
I think super long tris are okay, as long as they are defining a surface that is completely flat. the second you bend the normal tangency on a surface with crazy long tris however, you`re going to end up with undesirable results. -
Re: A few questions on production quality textures
complex shaders generally do the job of calculating how the objects surface interacts with the shots lights. you still need textures to describe the surfaces. (I have no film experience but I've done rendering for TV using mentalray)
