I would buy X-rite colorimeter first and then spend the rest of your initial budget on any cheapest 6bit+FRC IPS monitor. One LG sells probably. One more note is that in regards of PBR you can believe your eyes or just a few references much more than any "calibration". And otherwise that rule not always works in regards of…
Little update inc. so I have started to block in the shapes, they are turning out to be quite the challenge, but I am trying as much as I can to stay true to the concept, but at points I may have to play a bit with it. Also the coat is still not in this yet. not too far off from starting the highpoly though :) ! That said,…
Thank you for the notes @tiagosol I really appreciate it. I've made a lot of changes since the previous post, I was also lucky enough to get a live critique by Elyse Gymer ( #ElyseCritiques ) I think it looks better but I want to keep pushing this, critique is welcome. I still need to track my arcs, I'm seeing a lot of…
@Special KBS - Thanks for your appreciation. Base pattern is made with a shape node attached to splatter circular, and then transform2d from there onward to get the arc shape.Stone pattern can be changed at any point. @Myging - Thanks for your appreciation. Here are some links to get you started -…
I dunno... right now.. after the group games the intensity of the games in quarter finals has been on the floor. Lots of boring games :( I hope semifinals brings some awesome games. Germany vs Brazil i hope is a fun game, and i hope Argentina beats the Netherlands. I am still pretty upset about Robben and his diving game.…
IIRC, the Container system doesn't work for rigging, as the Container acts essentially as a single item. You can't bind the bones in a Container to the Skin. We mentioned this problem to Autodesk in their last visit, so they're aware of it. Maybe it will change some day. I have heard that Maya has much better support for…
Word. IIRC you used to model in max, right? I'm curious: What's your opinion of Maya's tool set compared to max's now that you have some time behind both programs? Do you prefer one over another at this point? Geo is geo and and i'm sure it's pretty much business as usual in maya, but i'm curious how you feel about the…
i can add the mech stamps to the list. They will take a bit more time. Here is what I have so far on the list. Scales (Alien, Lizard, etc etc.) Leaf (Veins for use on existing leaf models) Bullet Holes Impact Crater Cloth Stroke Brush (with gravity) Rope Bricks Mech/Tech Wood Grain Rust Patch Eye Iris (I will try this, was…
Got distracted texturing some stuff, but I went and baked this. I used a different workflow for this, I didn't explode the mesh but exported as several non-intersecting groups and used backstube and packstube to bake/composite. Worked out quite well. I still need to fix some AO errors though. Polycount is kinda high…
It is terraced, but the game is almost top-down. It's a remake/port of Ragnarok Online, so the game's camera will behave similarly. The terrace-ing is more to divide high and low level mobs. Most of the weathering will be handled by textures, to make it look as natural as possible. I did forget to add ramps to get between…
