From what i read the skylight has no shadows at all. It's just meant as a global ambient fill light. That's what I'm trying to use it for, to fill shadow pools with ambient light across the board. It's the skylight lighting that isn't showing up once i build lighting. It shows up fine in the dynamic preview but once i…
Yeah I was gonna say make sure you collapse your stack every now and then to "save" your uvs on that channel I have to do this for light maps for ue3 so I will do all my unwrapping on channel 1 for my diffuse, spec, normal, etc and then once done collapse. I get my textures fully painted and complete and before exporting I…
looks like a single long rectangle that fits the grass UV space once vertically, but extends well past the edges of the UV box so that the texture is tiled horizontally many times. imagine a telephone poll fallen on its side and it coveres the grass on the UV sheet. Once that's done the Pivot point was set at one end of…
MMM... I got this song a couple of days ago, and man oh man, I am so happy to know that Tool has gotten greater once again. I was excited because Maniard (that how you spell the singers last name) was going with A Perfect Circle, and knowing that once he comes back to Tool... its just going to be that much better... and I…
I agree with bearkub (and your suspicions), the prebuild CD probably doesn't have the drivers. I didn't read enough, and was thinking you were just using an old XP. Most likely it doesn't have the drivers for your motherboard, which is probably causing the bus to crash. I'm surprised you got it to install once though. If…
other method is using 2.5d to create tilable map i wont go much detail on how to do 2.5 d texture since the tutorials are quite plenty out there :) like this [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNgs2DcAsF4"]ZBrush Tileable Textures 01 - 2.5D Workflow - YouTube[/ame] btw in my case I created 16 bit alpha map to create…
The question about running out of ideas is an interesting one. I think there's probably some way to model the diversification of music as a branching, fractal system, however there's another force at play. Capitalism and market forces. We're reaching a point were major record labels are the creators and purveyors of modern…
What did one Trojan say to the other outside of a Gay Bar? - Want to go in and get Shit-Faced? The Joint Chiefs were together having an argument over who had the bravest soldiers. They argued for 3 hours until they settled on going to each of their respective bases to have a member show what bravery was. They decided to…
I was talking about the wider context than that. The essay was on the Cato Institute, which is a Libertarian site. The target audience is other Libertarians. He doesn't need to say "no one should vote", because as a Libertarian I already (by definition) believe in Anarchy (meaning lack of government, not lack of order). So…
Now rather than trying to shoehorn futuristic human interaction tech into already established and optimized pro workflows, I think that a good angle of approach would be : what part of the creation process are currently cumbersome and time consuming, and could be re-invented from the ground up ? The survey mentions…
