Re: MMORPG Spaceships
Hey Acid, lovin the scifi crate got some really nice details in there. Im not the best texture artist either but I found this great tutorial specifically related to texturing hard surfaces like metal and such, really helped me out alot.… -
Re: Mass Effect Assult Rifle
^ I bought some DVDs from eat3d.com they have two hard surface DVDs that have to do with modeling hard surface in zbrush..those two dvd will give you everything you need to know honestly.. there is other stuff if you look around on youtube but if you looking for in-depth course i recommend those two DVDs. -
Re: "KoddeShader", a Maya CGFX shader
i tryed your shader but it did something kinda nuts to me. for any planar surface it kinda set the lighting all the way to 100% making any surface at 90* to the light source 100% white.. which sucked :P if you want i can post a ss or am i just forgetting something really simple? -
Re: Transparency with ColladaMax and CgFX?
OK, thanks. We're using blend modes to combine individual ingredients within a surface, as well as to blend the resulting surface with whatever's behind it. For example we have one that optionally inverts the dest, multiplies it by an RGB value, multiplies the src with another RGB, then blends the dest and src using one of… -
Re: TF2 Nurse
I really like the stylized look of the hips and legs, especially for how it reads in the silhouette. The only thing that seems to bother me is perspective wise the left shoulder should be higher than the right. And the surface of the dr. shirt seems jumbled over the right breast, like there should be a clearer read-out of… -
Re: Unreal 3 Shadows not working properly.
Yes you are wrong. If you have a low resolution lightmap on a BSP surface the shadows will just become a big blur and you will lose any sort of shadow definition. If you want sharper lines in your shadows you need higher resolution shadowmaps. As it's a BSP surface, select it, then hit F5, and lower the number under… -
Re: Already baked model, to new topology? Rebaked.
When you bake from a high poly the generated normal map tries to account for the differences in the two meshs surface depth relative to each other and preserve the way light would interact with the higher poly one. However if you simply transfer a normal map from one mesh to another lower poly one the changes in… -
What is happening to me in Blender??
Hey everyone, i have a model of a fork i made in blender and for some reason parts of the mesh are somhow broken and generate these weird surfaces that are not actual geometric faces, like in the photo but when you look in wireframe it's all normal only in edit mode there is this shadow like surface if i try to subdivide… -
WIP Sci Fi Viking Character
Hello guys, i'm working on that personal project, trying to improve the hardsurface techniques. I`m really open to critiques and ideas, that will be awesome :D ( For the weapons too ) Also tips about retopology, because i`m suffering with how much subtools can one Hard surface character have hehehe Its my first try of hard… -
organic specular help!
http://www.heartworks.me.uk/ this is the effect that i'm after for a moving organic surface i'm working with. notice how the surface has an almost dynamic specularity to it? i cant quite seem to wrap my head around how to achieve this effect in realtime (specifically unity) as all of my tests end up looking stationary and…
