Re: Question about ambient occlusion and color.
Yeah AO is not a real world thing. AO is a rendering hack we use because realistic lighting is far too expensive to render in real time. The ideal use for AO is to be used in a shader that multiplies on the ambient light as Farfarer notes. In Toolbag 3, the AO slot multiplies on the ambient (image based lighting) diffuse… -
Re: Guild Hall - anyone heard anything good?
Pak is dead on. And we tell that to students. We also tell them that getting this certificate or degree does NOT guarantee them a job. Some students come to the school with that mindset.

Re: TB2 beta thread

Re: Mean Head
I've recently done a high res head texture using the SSS shader (render posted here, I'll post a few more angles soon probably), and I used mental ray's misss_fast_skin in Maya. There's a really great free tutorial by Alex Alvarez on Gnomon website about simple fast SSS shader, and for the skin shader, the principle is the… -

Re: Panzer Mech Klasse B
Industry comparison First Wave For these comparisons I decided to begin with my references, and so with Tor Frick as my model is just inspired by a concept art and so I do not have any other 3D references. First main critic: Paint Paint on Tor Frick models is simple, it is just a coloured layer with a roughness layer made… -
Re: bounch's items!
Hey guys, so it was a close call, and of course there was more I was hoping to do (that's deadlines, for ya!), but I'm still very satisfied with the end results. Allow me to present my final new bloom entires. The first is with the talented fudgiewudgie. Fudgie had approached me and was all like 'YO MOTHAFUCKA LETS KICK…
