@ Blazier - Have a read http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/mar/07/disney-hand-drawn-animation Don't be soo naive to think 3d hasn't had any sort of adverse impact on tradtional animation yes it hasn't disappeared but it has significantly suffered some at least on the movie screen when you think that Disney a company that…
Remove the sound card because you should have one in your motherboard. Motherboard is way over what you should need. Look for a cheaper one that is compatible. Downgrade the CPU to something like Intel Core i7-4790K the cpu currently you have selected is much more than you will need. You may want to use stock cooler if you…
Sorry to hijack your thread but it seems your issue is resolved and I'm too using 3dsmax with a normal map problem. Can't make a threads yet it seems and I'm impatient. :p Pulling my hair out with this. OK, here it goes. I'm using 3dsmax 2013 to render out a Normal map but for some reason I keep getting these annoying…

Unless you just skipped through the above to see the screenshots, you will see that this Arenanet art test thread is over a year old. I wanted to try it again for 2013. I thought it would be cool to see the difference between the two. A year has gone by and it's mind boggling to me looking back that I actually thought what…
Don't trust anything you see in the static mesh viewer unless you only plan to use dynamic lighting, because that's what it's showing you. 1. Rotate those sections 90° in the primary UV set, don't forget to re-bake the normal map or use these Normal Map Actions for Photoshop by Will "sinistergfx" Fuller for quick normal…
Thanks so much for answering! I'm in the process of trying to follow your steps and I found this tutorial (https://blog.turbosquid.com/2013/11/06/making-a-quad-sphere/) to help me with the subdivision of the cube into a spheroid (I've never done it before) and I got to step 3 which looks like what you have in your step 2.…
I was thinking about this and likeness the other day - actually for a couple years, since I saw INFINITE do his likenesses on CGTALK which were dead accurate to the actresses, and photoreal, and in some shots nude. Ellen Page went on record as being affronted by NAUGHTYDOG for 'ripping off her likeness'. I don't think…
I got several game ideas saved to my Hard Drive. But I'll narrow them down to my two most important. One's a fighting game. It's got that top down, huge arena going for it. Think Powerstone/Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm but with more emphasis on fighting. The other is a RPG. It's almost a mix of Final Fantasy IV meets…
