Re: Concept car project
i love the form this has taken on. the angles are good, i love your surface transitions. I'd like to see a bit more of a compound shape through the area below the side windows, though. i'd also like to see a harder bone line through the side skirt area. something to match the hardness of bone line going from the door… -
Re: UDK - Lighting tileable modular building issue!
Yes this is unfortunately one of the issues you'll run into when building these type of walls. Your best bet is to try and make the surface area of the front of the block as large as possible on the light map or model in real brick and deform the surface at the points where the walls will be meeting to hide the seam and… -
Re: Critique my Portfolio
@lotet I've altered the Thumbnails, they look a little more interesting now. @jsargent At this point its a choice between Stylized stuff Such as your Aragorns Quest piece & Rabbids Rumble and Hard surface work such as Gun & Vehicles. I guess Environments refers to the Stylized stuff more then hard surface but I've found it… -
Re: Rendering floating geometry in maya?
Normally you want it parallel to the surface. What he's talking about by the indent at a 90 degree angle, is this, you need to slope the sides of your indent so they capture better than if they where straight. The red lines are rays that will be cast down onto the surface when you bake a normal map. Notice the rays aren't… -
Re: Smooth calculation mystery.
I don't think Subdivision Surfaces are so well suited for things that need to be super-duper-exact, they are an approximation that gets closer to the described surface the higher their subdivision level is. So your hole might even get a tiny bit smaller still, if you increase the subdivision amount. NURBS are much more… -
Re: Snefer makes guns
I'm yet to try Modo due to being knee deep in a project... but I'm wondering. Would you say that Modo makes hard surface stuff significantly faster? Or is it just preference? Because I'm looking at that rifle and I can't imagine doing something like that in 3h in 3ds Max. I know you have crazy experience already but that's… -
Re: [Maya] Various Mel scripts questions
Hi everyone.., can any one help me to make a mel script which by clicking on the button does the below all at once.. 1. creates a new layer with the selected objects with a specified name (for ex : dummy layer) . ----> for each and every object in the master layer has its own shader and one alpha map in their shader… -
Re: DIY Cintiq
I went from an intuos 3 to a bamboo, after the surface of my intuos got some wear and tear in it in the spot I worked the most. The Bamboo, for me, works so much better. The bit of grain on the surface has that toothy paper feel to it, so it's like I'm drawing, not using computer magic to do my work. I'm super happy with… -
Re: [WIP] Turret - Heavy Duty
So for painted metal, the material on top is going to drive your texture channel information. You may have metal underneath, but if it's got a coat a paint over top, then the metallic value would be driven by the paint and therefore be 0 (black). If you had a colored surface with a metallic value of 1 (white) it's going to… -
Re: Is there a "polystein kit" for houdini?
It's geometry that floats on the surface that sits so close it appears to be a part of the same surface. It's great for both high poly to normal maps or just plain static geometry in engine. It's great for both because it's a great time saver and in lot's of cases can save you some tris and verts if you don't have to…
