Re: Interior with evening light attempt
Hey it's a start! Are you working from a reference image? Post it if so, get some ref if not! Some of the proportions feel off on your props with regard to modeling. Night scenes can be tricky since they need to be 'dark', but you typically still want contrast and depth in the image. Start by thinking about the motivation… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (64)
@blot12345 Things are looking cool! I don't see issues deforming the model after it's being baked... because distorted meshes would also have staight UV's to be able to minimise pixel artifacts... So unless you need the deformation as a guide for creases or something than there is no issue as far as I can think of. I do… -
Re: Maya -- Avoid sluggishness when many overlap UV shells are open in UV editor?
I appreciate that. But it looks like I have made error. Last night I looked at a current scene I was working in and guesstimated what I thought total cards would be for the problem scenes. I was way off. Overlapping UV shells become a problem when it gets to ~1,000. Maybe that's still in range where we shouldn't have slow… -
Re: my firsttime doing enviroment modeling
I think this is too ambitious for you. There are some really annoying mistakes in your scene. For example you have paid little attention to the steps. Just count the steps and you get big problems. You have 9 steps at the bottom and 4 steps at the top. Where there is actually 7 steps at the bottom and 9 steps at the top.… -
Re: Maya Render troubles
I haven't figured out the specific problem. I applied a jpg and it seemed to work fine. I thought, for sure, Maya could use PSDs. Why else would there be an option for them if they aren't supported? I'm not sure how it could be a problem with my build, I don't know how I could screw up Bump<click>, file<click>,… -
Re: [UDK] DeadSpace apartments
I'm really liking that door part of the scene. The contrast still doesn't look quite the same as dead space though. Might be the fog that's washing out the contrast a bit. The darks don't look dark enough, but I think that's more that the lighter parts are all relatively dark as well. If you take your image and the… -
Re: Mini Environment - Tropical Island
Hey, Thanks for the comments. Yes, the difference in era is a problem. As I mentioned the scene is based on the Typhoon Lagoon water park entrance. The original concept was just the buoy, the rocks, the anchor and the trees, but I felt the scene was kind of empty so later I added the barrels, the chest and the boat. That… -
Re: [WIP] Enlighten Contest - Temple of the Swords of the Ancients
My overall direction isn't to distract away from the default scene, or deviate too far from the objective in making lighting in this scene shine. But I do want to provide enough objects that will emphasize my narrative. My usage of lighting will tell a story of juxtaposition. The contrast of the cerebral glow of future… -
Re: UDK is garbling my UV's
This is wierd tbh. This file was originally made in max 2012, and in my frustration I went back to 2011. The above file was giving me errors so I placed all the UV's inside the space for both channels and exported to UDK and got the same error message. I then copied all the objects form this scene into a new fresh max… -
Re: Unlimited Detail
So I did some rummaging - they've literally made no progress at all since last year; all they've done is scan in some static scenes and render them the same way they always have done. They're still totally CPU bound, too data intensive to actually compile any real scene, and they still can't even light or shadow their…
