Re: AK-337 modular rifle system
It's always going to be a trade-off between several things. If you have more UV islands you have more seams, which is less efficient (more splits*) and harder to texture (more seams), but potentially packs better. You can add extra loops (as seen here with the suppressor example) and have less islands, but at the cost of… -
Re: New Portfolio!
Remember to always strive for quality over quantity - you will be judged by your weakest piece. On the AK-47, I think the wood texture is really hurting you. The grain feels far to coarse, and doesn't really flow with the shape of the stock. This example is the closest I could find to your model (most have wooden stocks… -
Re: research survey purpose "3D modular design"
any help guys its important for my subject :) theres around 10 question all related to 3d modular. please help me you can answer it here : 1- What is the better way to match the modular pieces element model with independent pieces elements of the environment? 2- Nowadays there is snap tool that allow snapping using vertex… -
Re: Can 3ds max morpher change normals?
i have looked into my issue some more, and i run into something weird. i have a character mesh, that i want to deform using the morpher. what i notice is though, that the morpher doesnt change the normals. i mean, for example if i make a morph target with a 90 degree rotated head, when i pull the morph slider, the… -
Re: [Portfolio] Scott Army, Character Artist
Hey, not bad work you have here. I like the menu options but I would combine resume with contact, and just call it resume. I don't particularly like the year by year break down. I think this can work okay, if your showing professional work, but when its personal work (because you have yet to get a job) it could be seen in… -
Re: Quantic Dream's Kara
illusions, it doesn't have to be there for a sinister purpose to be worth comment. This kind of thing almost never is done with malice -- it's done out of thoughtlessness. Generally one must be careful if one is a part of a privileged group to listen to the perspectives of those not in their group about these sorts of… -
Re: Overlaying / Mixing normal maps
Right, its basic art theory. Adding noisy overlay textures is going to do the opposite of making your forms pop. I'm not sure what the rest of your rant is about here, as I never suggested he do anything that you're talking about. I certainly do not agree that your example shows balance however, its a classic example of… -
Re: New model need some crit please ^^
Sorry for being unclear, I didn't mean to imply that the amount of detail in high poly will make a difference, just the amount of sampled normals that you get on the normal map, in other words, how colorful your map is. Here's the example: If you look at the example B - the low poly model that has mostly flat blue normal… -
Re: [Maya 2009] Rendering + Melscript
Several options to choose from: 1. If you're rendering in Windows, you can initiate a batch render via .bat files, which also happen to allow you to choose where to output files to. The only limitation being that while you can choose where to output images to, if you're using render layers, rendered images will be placed… -
Re: Boat Yard- plz critique
Again, all your textures are really tiley, try to reduce that appearance of reoccurring tiles as much as possible. Right now, all transitions are one tiling material into another tiling material. Add a lot more trim on everything to transition it all together. For example, water damage seeping up the sides of the building…
