Re: Ambient occlusion map or Ambient occlusion pass?
Arnold is an unbiased brute force pathtracer and 'AO' is resolved as part of the render. In other(older) offline and non brute force raytracing hacks like light cache and irradiance mapping are used to add the AO effect. Of course this doesn't drop you from rendering an AO AOV pass and comping in post. Arnold is actually… -
Re: [WIP]Dragon Wing Frost Bow
Getting closer and closer to finishing this bow. Made adjustments to the model and now just finishing up some texture work. Going touch up on some rough areas on the Diffuse map then once that is complete I will be creating a Normal, Spec and Glow map. Once that is complete the bow is finished and onto the environment it… -
Re: dDO 5.3 - Work res option?
ehhh, I used it once, maybe It has changed but in my case when I did the job and wanted to rescale effect....pufff after multiplying texture x4 results was completely different ;( I had to redo it again in final resolution. It saves preset but calculations are made from scratch and results looks really different depending… -
Re: Character Feedback Wanted, please!
Thanks for the feedback Tectonic. I see what you are saying. I was trying to go with simple shapes but I don't want people think it is hair so might sharpen them up a little and hopefully once the are textured they will look more like horns. I am doing a pass over the whole charterer once more before getting final crits on… -
Re: Glacial Castle
@ Alex3d - Those crystals from orb look really nice. I will defiantly take a look at how those were made when I get home. @danhohncox - I agree with the blockiness of the scene. I changed the ice mesh to something more jagged and the results are way better in my opinion. Now if I could just get something similar to that… -
Re: Tile Helper Zbrush Plugin
Interesting... Everything is all messed up! It seems like the width of your menu is smaller than standard. Could this be true? What size is your monitor? Most of these buttons I force specific pixel widths so they won't auto resize. You can see the button "Random 90 Rotation" button is set to auto and it fits within the… -
Re: [UE4] Service Corridor - Yes, another Sci-Fi Corridor!
Hi guys, I've also started a blog post on my workflow, and will post the full workflow on this post once done if anyone feels it might be helpful (sneak peek screenshot below!). I'll more than likely make this scene downloadable with all of the assets during July once work has calmed down a little, so if anyone would like… -
Re: [PORTFOLIO] - n0body, 3D Artist
A portfolio website is not a once and done thing. It needs to grow as you grow. The overall look and feel of your website reflects on you. Simple is definitely a good thing, but the white burns the eyes. I actually didn't even let it load the first time because I was like "WHOA WHITE!!!1!" Once you have a job then it is… -
Re: How to bake a clean normal map without split UVs Island on every hard edge
In painter you have the option to average your normals, something you can try is setting your smoothing groups as the UV islands are set, bake the normal map twice in painter, once with averaged normals and one without, combine those two maps in photoshop masking out the hard edges that looks bad. I know its not the ideal… -
Re: A video every aspiring artist should see..
I kind of like it but, really, once you see that's what it's going to be, you can ALT+TAB away and just listen to it. Right? :) At any rate, I don't think this would have nearly the impact in just text form or a blog entry. I saw the original a number of months back and it was just text at first. I liked it but once I…
