Re: Krita--Master Thread and Google Summer of Code 2014
Oh, btw, if there's anyone here who builds Krita themselves and does a lot with normalmaps: I attempted to make a tangent normal map blending mode, which substracts the base blue from the upperlayer before adding the values to the lower layer. For me it works, but I haven't done any serious work with normal maps to really… -
Re: How many material IDs can you have?
omg i accidentally just pressed 'report' instead of reply... sorry if you get some weird message from a mod. here's what i intended to reply to your post with: Right. At work I would never have that many materials on a single object, but in this case it was just for a single high rez portfolio shot and i wanted to get it… -
Re: Cement Refinery Project
After working on this scene for the better part of 10 months, I think its time to bring this project to a close. I'll be updating this thread daily with the screenshot progress until the end of the month. Whatever it looks like then is what will stand. Hopefully by the end of this i can chronicle the massive effort it took… -
Re: The Zone guard outpost
Ok, so last time I said that I said the time before that this building was finished. I lied. What can I say, I'm a perfectionist. Today I designed quite a few custom decals to go with this building (as well as future buildings). I also modeled 3 sets of crumbled plaster sections that have fallen off of the walls, which are… -
Re: Need For Speed - The Run
GT5 has no particles in splitscreen. (and therefore no ss rain or snow races) It's a fickle thing. You're using more cameras, but still rendering the same amount of pixels. You can ease off the anti-aliasing just a bit because both will be smaller, but you're still rendering a bunch of things twice. motion blur can go,… -
Re: Portfolio site help
Aye Zac has a nice breakdown of the popular hosts, a few new ones for me aswell. I occasionally get stick from using referral links even though it benefits the person just as much so i stick the vanilla in nowadays ;'). I've been using holeinthewall for the last 3 years now, managed to get my previous inhouse web studio to… -
Re: Mari +Zbrush
mrnpc, im sure it makes a difference though that you are in their back yard as opposed to someone/some group thats much farther away. I have no doubt about Mari's capability, but I question the accessibility front and how its being presented for a market outside of vfx and film. The market has texturing applications,… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
I think the thing is though, the average gamer doesnt want to drop 300-1000 dollars every couple years to upgrade their pc, when they can just buy a game, know it will work on their console, and chill on the couch while playing it. most people I know outside of the game industry who play games are kinda the opposite of… -
Re: BattleTech Light Lance
Indeed. I was pretty hard up for options on making the ammo feed for multiple reasons, the biggest one being the "divide by zero" logic of the mech's original design. The thing is all cockpit, and the idea of trying to fit a nuclear fission engine plus 120 missiles with an ammunition explosion safeguard plus all of the… -
Re: Polycount Update - BUGS & SUGGESTIONS
@pior Those mockups are great... Basically, something that if visually between what we have now and the old look. @adam responded to my question about the avatar/author info. I understand the logic but I think the separation ends up wasting space.. If you stack the avatar over the other info like in @pior s mockup then you…
