Interesting, thanks for the recommendations. iPad is not an option since almost everything I use is 3D on a PC. And I don't care much about the touch features because I never use them anyway (I still use the same used 11 year old Intuos I bought 5 years ago, no touch features). definitely concerning to hear your complaints…
Quick update from today, I got a nice effect with the woodgrain noisemaker and a polypaint colour fill. Im thinking I will replace the woodgrain with a photo texture and grab a normal/height map from the photo texture before I try out any rendering software. I added some nicks/cuts and general wear to the bat handle, going…
I guess that is the way of the world though, where I was two three years ago and (thankfully) not where I am today. Thanks dude. I'm working on a church scene and I want to nail down the wear of the pews. Looking at the reference, it's very splotchy wood and the lighter parts of the wear seem to be broken down into shapes…
Hi, Non-square textures are not on the roadmap for this year I'm afraid. This is however exactly the sort of feature request I'd like to hear. I'm still learning about games and games-related workflows so thanks for asking. http://mari.ideascale.com/ ... is a great place to log ideas. Although not officially run by The…
The new one is a mess. What is with those huge artifacts in the metal ? Also you have a redish and a yellowish white tone for the main color which dont go together at all. Just check out some other guys weapons and how they textured it. All you needed on the old one is a lot more wear and tear. Drybrushing is super…
As a friend of mine pointed out, Thanksgiving is a reminder of the depreciation in value of shiny beads. Back during the days of the pilgrims, we could trade them for enourmous portions of land from the native peoples. Nowadays, all they can really do is get a coed to show you her breasts at Mardi Gras. But if we can get…
[ QUOTE ] Does anyone really beleive they have been making it all that time? they were hiring at one point about 3 years ago, but even then it sounded like it was actually for another project... [/ QUOTE ] Yes, from what I gather from talking to ex 3DR employees it has actually been in a constant state of production for…
I'd learn how to either measure with an accurate to real life scale "human anatomy model", or learn how to work in real measurements, in the end you can "translate it after the fact", to whatever requirements are expected for the projects. Any environment artist or whomever knows is welcome to correct me but i feel this…
I've been subscribing for a few years now and I can't imagine that many people would opt for just one app. Photo editing. Vector illustration. Video editing. Compositing. Web design. Audio editing. PDF. As an artist, there's just too much value to be found in that $600/year package. You can make the argument that there are…
They mean, the difference between 2010 and 2010 design are the same as the differences between 2009 and 2009 design (I am pretty sure that's what he means) The beta has a number of good features, but unfortunately, they still seem to have not addressed many user complaints with Max at all- that douchebag Ken Pimental…
