Re: Burrill's WIP Thread
Dang it, I just keep getting into more problems. Here's whats up: Last post I found out that to get the lighting correct on curved meshes the UV ends have to be at a perfect horizontal or vertical alignment, like the picture in the previous post. I actually had both the texture channel the same as the lightmap channel, so… -

Re: Learning to do anything as a hobbyist.
I learn by doing, not following tutorials. I don't want to do a donut, I want to do [something] and I feel strong aversion to watch unnecessarily long videos with music, silly jokes and FX narrated by tiny heads. That doesn't mean tutorials are terrible, they're just not my cup of tea. They might not be yours either. So I… -
Re: [WIP] BlackSmith Girl Character

Re: Anyone remember the Dominance Wars?

It's not that the stroke is broken up, it's more like it's not getting all the data for curve and only getting a few points which it plays connect the dots with. Here's a… -

But lets see what I can remember. -I built some new areas of the map loosely basses on a couple of my favorite reference images. -I learned how to… -
Re: Displacement map "Surface Dithering" problem
I'm not seeing problems with your ZIP. This is rendered with V-Ray viewport IPR. I did have to add a Smooth modifier and set it to Smoothing Group 1, just to get nice smooth normals. TurboSmooth is set to 3 iterations. This is in 3ds Max 2024.2.1, with V-Ray 6.20.02. WIndows 11 Home, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 64GB RAM.…
