Re: Portfolio review (VFX, Environment)
That's my que! As far as your VFX go, you could pretty much omit the Maya fluids examples from your portfolio, as they aren't helping you much. All of them feel like they were simmed at a fairly low resolution. The fire looks alright, though fairly basic. The explosions need more work. They don't have very good motion to… -
Re: Distance Field Modeler for Unreal Engine
Thanks for your reply. I meant that MagicaCSG does not include the option to export to FBX yet, for example. I'd love to be able to use the results in a different package, like Blender or ZBrush, to finish it with details, and render it with a different renderer. I love SDF modeling. It's very intuitive and stimulates your… -

Rim Light ?
I have been playing around with Rim Lighting, to get my normals to "pop" more. What is the standard practice to using Rim Light though? I have tried both Diffuse slot Rim light and Emissive slot rim lighting, as I have seen example of both. Has anyone had good results with either examples? And what typically yields the… -
Re: How to bake a character with multiple pieces?
Depending on how your model is made, you might actually want to keep it exploded for the AO bake. For example if you have floaters on one side of your symmetrical model with mirrored UV's, you'll be baking the AO on both sides instead of one. Have a look at the polycount wiki for some examples… -
Re: Siamese Triplet 2D
more so thinner than thicker. In your latest image, you're kind of going a bit thicker than i thought it'd go, but it could be a stylistic thing? You can show and convey a lot more by using less pressure. in leiu of typing something out, here is a quickie expressionless paint-over example some other quick-search examples:… -
Procedural leaf venation. How to?
Hi. I`m wondering is there soft or workflow for creating leaf venation procedurally. Texture or 3d model, doesnt matter. For example reticular venation: I know that it can me maid with voronoi cells, but i dont know how to seamlessly join little cells with big ones. Also how quickly add variation to veins thickness. Any… -
Re: How to retypologise collectly
A mesh gets triangulated when imported into an engine anyhow. The reason why meshes are retopoed mostly in quads is that it is easier to edit them while working on them. But, there are parts of a mesh that just need a few tris and that is ok. The first example of your post uses elongated quads which as a rule you should… -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
interesting that every now and then this type of thread and debate comes up. Personally, its not much of an arguement to judge a 3D packages capability because you can't see much stunning work out there. That's hardly solid proof. The simple fact is that often studios don't announce or shout about which software they use… -
Re: I am lost with the topology
Even with good video tutorials you still run into having to sit through most of it to find info. They aren't easily searchable like a text document is. Maybe someone will create a system that transcribes text and makes the videos searchable but that doesn't exists... that I know of. It's easier to make a bad video tutorial…
