Re: EA Closes Mythic
Warhammer Online died a while ago, but I had some great times in that game. The use of player physics to block other players was actually fantastic in that game. Get a bunch of tanks to literally block off an area and the other team could could not physically pass w/out killing them. RIP :( -
Re: Alien Bust
Could use some help with this. I'm trying to render with Marmo, but I have these weird black spots that show up everywhere. Here's the issue and my mat setup. There is a single pointlight in the scene. I would be particularly interested in hearing from EQ or Perna or whoever else is involved w/ 8Monkey. Thanks! -
Re: Project: Normalmaps From Photos
-Edit profile curve with realtime preview -Combine with diffuse bump/emboss for added detail w/slider & preview -Save/load modifier stack -Preview as tessellation/normal map/parallax map with or without diffuse/spec -Batch I'd ask for automatic generation of ao and spec but that is getting a little out of scope. -
Re: Computer upgrade help.
Here's a thread about upgrading your CPU: http://en.community.dell.com/support....aspx#19970142 Your system has a 300W power supply, so you need a GPU that doesn't draw much power. Here's a thread about that: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/33...w-power-supply (apologies for duplicate post) -
Re: Saturation To Grayscale?
as a kind of side note: I've found that using the Black & White filter in photoshop gives different results from simply sliding the hue/saturation slider down to gray. I was told B&W filter was more accurate to see the values but I don't exactly know the math behind the different functions. -
Re: PC build need help
Also, to my knowledge when I got my PC w/ windows 7 home, 3ds Max won't even run on it. Don't know what your 3d app. is so maybe this isn't a concern. Anyhow, home versions kind of blow for anything other than just everyday computing. -
Re: Anatomy landmarks for animals.
There's a few animal anatomy books out there. I've got An Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists by W. Ellenberger which is pretty decent for mammals, though no other animal types. I suspect it might not be that easy to find these days, but an image search for "animal anatomy" on Google will pull up a bunch of pages from it… -
Re: Sketchbook: Grok
imho - you've chosen a bad photo to work with - it has a very bad b/w balance and colours are all weird and horrible. + Thats not a very productive way to do a painting - first do a base then the highlights and shade, that will make your life much easier and you will get better results. Good luck -
Re: Preview: Close encounters and Rednecks
The rubber of the tires still kinda bug me... they look ballooned out more like an inner tube than a tire... and i don't think i've ever seen tread on a tire that works like that w/ just horizontal lines. I'm thinking just a little texture change will go a long way on that. -
Re: [Portfolio] - Brad Myers: Character Artist
Your URL is a turn-off. You can pull off something like poop in your mouth once you have a few gigs under your belt. I realize changing your URL is a pain, but its just my 2 cents. Best of luck w/ the apps man! -Tyler
