Bottom line: in this day and age we don't need to upgrade to "insane specs' (tm) to stay on top of things in 3D. I have to know: I once bought a noise-proofed rack from a specialized vendor for a workstation or two I owned. These machines were insufferable to listen to. Cost me high three digits or perhaps early four -…
This is my first major step towards creating an original game and atmosphere I can truly call my own. THE BIORIFT is a concept I’ve been nurturing for over five years, and now it’s finally taking shape. We’re a small team, but we have everything it takes to make something truly cool. https://thebiorift.com/…
In my experience, Ai tools make sense to use as a shortcut for small bits of menial work. As long as the task is well-defined with plenty of decent-quality source material for the model to pull from. And only if I am able to filter the output using my own specific subject-matter expertise. It's great at handling the…

I love love LOVE how Prometheus still has that 70's-80's sci fi movie x factor. I don't know what it is but i feel like i'm watching a trailer for an 80's movie but with better cameras and hair. I'm so glad ridley scott recaptured that essence we all fell in love with. I think it might be that he's using yah know.....sets…
Thank you all for the feeback. Here is the scene with one more week working on it. Unlit, lighting only, edges and roughness Before and after How I masked and blended materials. Mirror material, was going for a dirty silver look. Here are the curtains where I use the carpet material as base and blend unique baked folds. I…

I pay 15 grand for 3 years... its really in-expensive compared to other…
I found what looks like the same model TV: 1982 Sony Trinitron KV-1913 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NU6oAKfZRM I think it would help to not use pure black for the plastic, as you're losing some of that 80's "charm" in the look of the plastic parts. I find this site super helpful for getting color values for real-world…
