Re: Vray or Mental ray, for photo realistic characters
i think you have to define who the user is before you can make a real comparison. the needs of a single artist rendering turntables for there portfolio is vastly different then a studio pipeline that consistently has to render huge datasets at 4k+ with a large assortment of custom shades effects and displacement. for the… -
Re: War for the Overworld: Troll WIP
100th post....woooo.... Yeah, trip to the chemist for Mr Troll. Either way gotta get some specualr information going. Meanwhile, I've been playing around trying to get this shader set up. http://www.moddb.com/games/unreal-tournament-3/tutorials/tf2-shading-in-ut3 Ran into a bit of a hitch and I'm not sure what to try :( It… -
Re: Never use turbosmooth?
while I agree with perks of using classic modeling tools (like way faster boolean operations) one thing to not miss is that he also using Modo's 'rounded edge shader' to get quick smooth corners around non-subd meshes along with adding support loops for shading afaik. Though that shader isn't that usable for large scale… -
Re: Dota 2 Props to 3dsmax, maya, etc...
I've created a shading solution for Unity similar to Dota 2 : Game Shaders Volume 1 - Dota 2 I am currently working on shaders for static lightmapped objects and I need assets for testing purpose. I thought about using the Dota 2 map or at least a part of it. But I don't want to spend to much time at creating it again… -
Re: pushing my skills in texturing - approach
Can we see the UVs? Where the jacket and the shirt meet is the thing you should fix first, I say. You can create a crisp edge there by having the shirt and jacket UVs separated. Also, from a geometry standpoint, I think her collar might look better with a sharper crease around the ridge, you know? Instead of a rounded… -
Re: What to learn to be a great texture artist.
substance designer doesnt create shaders, it can be used to create textures to drive shaders. the first thing i would do, check online if someone 3d ripped those models and analyze how they are set up, but also look for talks, naughty dog ofte explained how they did things and how they tackles stuff. if not for TLOU2,… -
Need some advice and a general critique of my Sejuani sculpt.
Couple questions: I'm not sure how to go about the eyes -- first time doing a stylized head. Should I sculpt the eyes right out of it? Should I make weird-shaped eyeballs? Normal-shaped eyeballs that are really big? Also, in the reference, the colors are more vibrant. In my experience everything looks drab in Mudbox,… -
How to present high poly models
Evening all! Just wondering if anyone knows any shaders or plug ins or...whatever to best show off high poly assets. I am close to finishing modelling a Mossberg 500 scoped and want to present it the best i can. I am aware of xoliul shader and the 3 point shader and marmoset but i am currently not aware of anything else?… -
Re: StarWars E Wing
I've never seen this craft and I think the concept is awesome...it has a lot of character and looks pretty deadly. My biggest critique is based on your render it's really hard to understand the shape and how accurate it is. Currently your nose cone looks completely wrong and there really isn't a whole lot of detail to the… -
Maya render passes with writeToColorBuffer
Hey My problem is that I want to render out passes from my misss_fast shader in mental ray and I want to render them out in passes, therefore I use writeToColorBuffer for each "pass". Then each buffer writes to a mib_color_mix, which later connects to a shader with its on shading group assigned to it. Everything works as…
