Re: Modo Rules!
That's one of Max's most fundamental downfalls, tbh. They just lump new shit on top of old. One of the good things about Luxology/modo is that if it requires a total overhaul of a system for better performance or better features, they'll do it. Rather than having it bloated to hell with a backlog of legacy features. I… -
Re: Looking to get a new comp
SLI is a waste of money, the performance gain is slim and the cost increase too large to justify. More video RAM means you'll be able to choose higher texture resolutions for much longer. Doubling the cost isn't worth it, though, since you can just buy a new card for that money when your old one is obsolete and get a much… -
Re: Airbørn
ah yeah the wale... what you are referring to is a airwhale the weatherwale is just the airborn version of a weathercock (like chicken not like penis! :P) and no that one was just a crunched down old version of the whale to have something to work with the SSS but nice idea i'm just posting the processhere too to keep thing… -
Re: Secret from Inside the White House (wow!)
I read the whole thing, and I believe he's telling the truth. He's too cautious, and honest about what he doesn't know. Old people have problems. And being in politics so long, especially in this administration, they simply escape humanity. I liked his comment about how "the most respectable people in the White House are… -
Re: Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
@Chronic: RG's technique works by adding detail normals to existing ones. It's kinda similar to embossing. New normals are stamped down on top of your old ones, but their orientation isn't changed. That's as good a job as I can imagine doing with Photoshop! CB's approach is more like baking from a 3D model... details end… -
Re: finish what you start damnit
Yeah I actually have this problem too, I lose interest after the modeling stage. The only way I could finish my portfolio was to actually build a model and then take a break from it and build something else. When I had enouhg models for a portfolio I went back and finished the earlier works this kept me from getting bored.… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Feili Chen
I had to fight the urge to close the window as soon as I saw it was in Flash and had a loading bar. And man, that loading bar takes AAAAGES with no hint as to where it extends to. A lot of folk wouldn't bother to wait for your site to load before giving up and looking elsewhere. Stick to plain old HTML, there's no… -
Re: UT2004 - Klash | SDK
Slaughter- that is fucking sweet- it's a nice style you've got going on there, it's one I really want to see ingame IronbearXL: good going, the muscles look a bit too well defined for a woman for my tastes but she's shaping up pretty well Still haven't started on the torso texture for my character, I need to get my arse… -
Re: Rendering Normalmaps in Max8...
Ok, thanks mate. I tried his simple NM shader and it worked better than the one I found in max. I can't seem to render it though. Are there any shaders NM shaders out there that are renderable too? I'm running directx 8 and I think that might be causing some problems for me. Old laptop graphics card. Edit/ Oh yeah, I tried… -
Re: Maya questions
I use Notepad++ for more complex scripts, it doesn't have a MEL syntax highlighter but TCL is close enough to work. Context looks pretty good too, I keep meaning to give it a try. I still can't believe how horribly stunted and rudimentary Maya's built-in script editor is, considering how much reliance the majority of Maya…
