still lowering the polycount... gotten from 1548 to 1048 tris. dont wanna go TOO low, as this is gonna be a folio piece... what do you guys say is a good count for it? been told here 400 - 500 would be a must, but im guessing that would be good in game, where you dont pay attention to details... it wouldnt be as good in a…
Oh I laughed my ass of at this one. I never knew VGCats were actually funny comics but after reading through about 50 of them a few days ago, I've gained nothing but respect for the guy making these. Far better video game referencing in those comics than Penny Arcade or any other that I've stumbled across. I loved the…
I did something similar in a past job, where we used the alpha channel to define masks for three team colors. Each mask used 1/3 of the range within the alpha: 0-85, 86-143, 144-255. Here's an example with just two ranges instead of three, made with the old Shader FX in 3ds Max. Might give you some ideas. I can probably…
When I try to update the ID links, it refuses to actually change anything. There are a bunch of undefined colors I'm trying to set as well as changing the default. When I change and hit done and open the links again it didn't save. When I change, hit done, and then re-render it doesn't save. I recorded a video of what…
Hi everyone, I would love to have some feedback on this portfolio project I've been working on. I had the goal of creating an iconic film scene that you will instantly recognize, but in an art style that isn’t normally meant to be 3D. In this case I went for the magic bus scene from the movie «Into The Wild» created by…
Well, assuming that the 32incher at 4k is roughly 28 inches wide for 4096 pixels and knowing that the 12wx is 10 inches wide for 1080 pixels That means that the 12wx from 2009 has a resolution of 128 pixels per linear inch, and the 2018 32 incher has ... 146. Considering that the working distance is the exact same (length…
Yes you can have any scale you want. If you got X 256 Y something Z something then it would snap modularity on X but not on Y Z. For some meshes this is fine. It all depends on what you are doing. Combination = 32+64=96. It doesn't has to be 64 128 256 etc only. 108 for example is fine also. As it is 64+32+8+4 which is…
Hi Quixel staff. A bit of background : I am familiar with various iterations of DDO as I have been testing the program for a few years now (Legacy and Suite). Most of my experience is with DDO Legacy, having used it on a few personal projects. I however never had the opportunity to use the more recent DDO releases to their…
Almost all the drives on the market these days are Sata III, so I'm not sure there would be much/any savings finding an older Sata II drive. Plus, SSDs are rapidly developing tech, go with the newest model. Evo 250gb 840 is $140:…
