Re: World's smallest ring pistol.
Looks good, I like the material. I actually did one of these myself (portfolio in signature). There's a couple issues with your model: - The hammer wouldn't be able to cock back over that sharp corner it connects to. - No bullet pins, this ring uses special bullets with firing pins sticking out the side. - The hammer… -
Re: Student in need of Polycounts Wisdom (aka portfolio critique)
Id still recommend cutting the boy of silence, and also the lost temple environment. If your going for an environment artist position, you don't need characters there anyway, and the lost temple isn't even close to your current skill level. Your latest work looks a lot better tho, and I think you should start another new… -
Re: SOLVED: How to use already made diffuse in Quixel?
Thanks for all the input...but I am about to pull my hair out...Quixel or Photopshop keeps crashing..first after inputting the maps (mesh,colorID, normal,ao,heightmap) it wouldn't pick up all the material ID colors (I used the swatches from DDO for photoshop), after manually assigning the material color and creating the… -

Re: Looking for some basic help with foliage/trees/shading for 3ds Max/Unity
Averaging the normals on both trunk and stump worked perfectly, thank you! I figured it would be a vertex normal issue but didn't know where to start. Somehow, as I've continued working on other assets, the leaves lighting problem seems to have fixed itself? I'm really not sure what I did, I don't think I changed anything.… -
Re: looking for a career advice
Don't underestimate yourself. If you are really interested in something art related, go on, imerse yourself into the subject, experiment and see if it is really what you want to learn for the next 6 months. I myself, for instance, started learning 3d (with no art background whatsoever, only some oil painting here and there… -
Re: Flow Map Painting Script - Early Alpha
yes, this is something me and Norman have had heated discussions over: in order to only use the R and G channels, we have to use only half of the 255 values, and since those are integer values, 2*0.5 gets lost. not only is this bad for accuracy of the flow map, it is also a source of problems: a solid color of 128 for… -
Re: Graphic tablet
Seems we all found decent solutions to prevent wear of our tablets, that is pretty awesome. I went the home depot route and it was a perfectly cheap solution for repairs that just made correcting the problems that much better, i just wanted to add the sheet I put on. I purchased two sheets just in-case it is only almost $3… -
Re: Seams...
I think the minimum edge padding(dilation) to use is: log2(max(width,height)) + 1 = nMipmap Levels + 1 for example... for a 2k x 2k texture is (12+1) = 13 in that way it's guaranteed that if two pixels use the maximum and minimum mipmap LOD then a 2x2 box filter result won't present visible seams. The default in xNormal is… -
Re: Environment Work: Asian City
The lighting is coming along. Hopefully, like you mentioned you will have time to add in the story. The piece would have been better served if the story came first so it could be better unified into the overall design of the city. Possibly have vehicles crashed off to the side. Ash residue permeating the air like show…
