Re: the reflectivity of everything
[ QUOTE ] heh, i was talking about reality. [/ QUOTE ] So was I. I was also giving you some practical advice instead of just light theory. Real world lighting bounces but the default settings in Max/Maya do not. The real world has AO, Max/Maya by default do not. It will be hard to achieve some of the effects of real world… -
Re: What to do? DS enviornments
You should ask yourself how big these objects will be on the screen? How close will you get? etc. And then put it in screen shots the size of the DS screen to see how shes holding up. Buildings usually all share similar textures; ie. bricks, siding, etc. And then their colors are tweaked by vertex colors. Sharing palettes… -
Re: Mythic Tomb - Michael R.
So far you have stuck pretty close to the concept which is good, but the brick texture is way too clean and is not tiling too well along the edges, you might want to look at that.

Re: Dynamesh not workin so hot

Re: Meet the best iPods ever.
If I were an apple/ipod enthusiast this might be something like the holy grail 2.0. Personally though I want a media player to be just that. Give me an assload of storage, a simple mp3 drag and drop interface with my PC and I'm happy. I'm currently using a 40gb brick of an iRiver and probably won't upgrade until it… -
Re: 3D Art Improvement Thread - C&C Welcomed!
Still making edits to this piece, as finding time for personal projects has gotten slim =) Basically I have gone back through and begun to clean up or redo some of the temp materials. Updated the wood, smaller props, and chest. Still need to replace the proxy brick material and adjust the windows and replace the picture… -
