Re: Has anybody ever accomplished a GI-type render like this in 3ds Max?
It means it's a diffuse(for example mid-grey)render pass, an AO render pass and a reflection render pass composited together. It's what's commonly called a 'Clay Render', which in this case also has reflections. The shader could also be created directly and output as a single beauty render pass - which negates the need to… -
Re: Fantasy Themed Dice Render (Looking for critique)
This is looking nice so far! I think it's lacking a bit in lighting and composition. You could add some drama with backlighting from the sun, which would really show off those colored caustics. A little DOF would be nice too. Also the boardgame edge is perfectly straight and even, as is the paper under it. Real world items… -
Re: How to handle texturing of large objects for games?
Ahh you are not talking about a specific mesh. My bad! There is a technique known as Megatextures, for example in Rage, but I don't think anyone uses this technique anymore.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)
It actually depends on what your target is. This concept art is from a videogame, and given the size of the object it would never require that many texture sets, even if it was a hero prop game asset. If it was for a vfx it might be acceptable for very high detailed closeups. As a game prop I would imagine the lead to ask… -
Re: Polycount Wiki Broken?
Thanks for the sleuthing. I'll see what we can do. On a related note, the forum software we use has made a change to their underlying system, now it will not show any image embeds if they use http: URLs. Some of our older threads now have missing images :( For example, the images here are all… -
Re: Your Art Test is BAD, this is why (And how to improve it)
Many strong points here. I would like to further expand on three of the points you mention with some of my personal experiences. Vague Documentation This has been an absolute nightmare for some art tests I've done. One of the main problems I've run into is art direction, where the technical aspects of the test might have… -
paste a file path in maya always adds prefix of file:///, which has to be deleted
working in windows 10 and maya 2022/2023 This is probably a stupid question but it is something that bugs me endlessly and I have not found an answer. If I copy a file from windows explorer and paste into maya, for example a filepath for a texture to use in a material, this bit is always added: file:/// for example…
