Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
Mental ray is a disaster when it comes to baking normal maps. It messes up the padding, it incorrectly assigns the background as the environment color even when the correct color is set as the "background" in RTT. It also takes longer and unless you crank up the Final Gather settings which increases the render time it will… -
Re: Sherlock Holmes - Tower Bridge Recreation (1850's)
Nice work so far on the assets. Well worth continuing the scene after handing it in and use it as a portfolio piece. You don't have to stick to the ultimate realism then and can snatch a few movie tricks. It's all about presentation.

They look at us as Freelance but we are required to show up to the office every day and put in the mandated 10 hours. If we miss time we get our pay… -
Re: Rat Man
damn excellent stuff there bobo, the only part I'd change is the hands and feet, the contrast between fur on the arms and legs and the hairless hands/feet seems rather too instantaneous. Adding some loose/stray/dispersed hairs may help to break the contrast. -
How do I know what should be normal mapped/baked in an environment?
I want to create a near future sci-fi city environment. I assume walls, side walks, roads, and anything "blocky" won't require a normal map baked from a high res mesh. But what about street lights? Fire hydrants? guard rails? manholes? display kiosks? This may sound like splitting hairs, but doesn't EVERYTHING look better… -
Re: rayy moving on again
cheers guys. Not sure what exactly i want to do next, but I am getting a bit jaded these days, so the long break thing is definitely needed. -
