Figured out what I'm having in the indents on the outer wall In the hallway, heaters with bamboo-esque decoration either side. To the lower right is a tablet type device that will be the focus of my next (very far off) project. It's hard to portray the heat effect in an image, so here's a video.…
Id set up a image of 512 by 512, get some grid lines at set that at Grid lines every 128 pixels, subdivisions 1... make sure you go to Window Show Grid. Id start off with your brush at 100% hardness, 0 spacing, and for the grout lines turn on the Scattering and raise it up to something that makes it not so uniformal, then…
Just saw it on iMax 3D at Universal. Was pretty good, not like a mind-blowing experience, but still very much enjoyable. CG Jeff Bridges was seriously off, maybe it's because we're CG nerds, but I just couldn't accept that he was an actual character. But I don't really know that I can pin-point why. The lip-sync in LA Noir…
I have backfaces on when I model, but I have two sided lighting off so any faces with normals facing the wrong way show up black. What are the advantages to having visibility off instead of the way I currently work? Mane, how are you using append? Have you tried clicking a left edge then then clicking the right edge? That…
I have two major issues with this scene, first off the scale off the scene seems very odd. Each object seems to have been modeled at an arbitrary scale and doesn't seem to fit with the others, and the scale of details for the various objects are very confusing, for instance, the very soft edges on the concrete blocks make…
So today I had some interesting progress. I left off with the beginning of a handle Monday night. When I started work Tuesday I compulsively finished the carrying handle. Once that was complete I started to give definition to the Stock, Grip and Hand guard. All of this detailing came in at under 850 verts. I also hardened…
well the units are always in meters. When you create a terrain it will ask you what size your terrain should be and for performance reasons it only offers you power-of-two options. You can chose resolution and meters per unit, so for your small environment you should probably just chose 128 by 128 and 1 meter per Unit and…
Upgraded to Win10, I like it. Feels very similar to 7 with some of the new stuff of 8 but still way more 7 than 8. Takes a bit to get used too but that was the same of going up to 7. Everything has been working great for the last few months. The only issue I've run into is that if I turn off my second monitor I have to…
Err... objects with 100% self illumination cast shadows on other objects, they just don't receive any shadows. The stick on the left is 100% self illuminated. You might of turned off shadow casting for that object in the objects properties. Or turned off receive shadows for the ground plane? (Select object, right click,…
