Re: Some of my new portfolio pieces. (Bandwith heavy)
Woogity: Hey Woogity, yeah maybe the anatomy on the chick is a bit off. To be honest this is the first 3D female I've attempted. I'm going to try to keep that in mind and focus on the anatomy more next time. Slave_Zero: Thanks man, I totally agree on the truck, I'm going to play with the hue of the tarp/awning a bit. Will… -
Re: 3ds max weard baking
1) MentalRay messes up the padding if you have more than one map output in Render To Texture. So bake each map (bump, AO, diffuse) one at a time and only have that one map in the output slot. Its a pain but its the only way to get MentalRay to correctly calculate the edge padding, which it looks like you need more of... 2)… -
Re: tiles texture for morrocan atrium house
The normal map was generated using the normalmap plugin in GIMP. I took the color map and painted over the white tiles with parts of the green ones. To blend them in, I used the blur tool. Before I converted the image to a normal map, I desaturated the image to greyscale and adjusted the values. I know you all have your… -
Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Hi Guys, I've got a question about HLSL rendering in Maya and renderers in general. I'm intending to make a skybox for my showreel an I wish to do it in HLSL instead of UDK. I looked into using Maya but I couldn't get transparency to work properly, it renders the background but does not calculate correct transparency… -
Re: Back Alley Brute
Hey Teriyaki, I really appreciate your feedback. I agree, he needs some more cavity delineation for those awkward material transitions. I thought AO was on when I rendered, but it may have been turned off. I think it's most needed under his arms, I'll tweak it a bit more. And for his lighting, I wanted to make sure he was… -
Re: Cube Map Reflection Problem
Doing some testing I'm really not sure what your error is. THe error I was thinking of last night was an error in my understanding of what you were trying to achieve I think. I'm not fully sure why you're creating a static texture though, as if you're going to be using the captured cube on objects in the same scene you're… -
Re: Heavily Modified P90 "Savage Hunter"
EDIT: @ perna, just posted this right after yours. Going back to read your stuff now. Doing some test bakes but I am having issues in some areas such as the handle in 3DS max 2011. The bake results for the handle show multiple artifacts and a very low appearing resolution even though I am using a 2048x2048. Using 3Point… -
Re: Specular AO in PBR (specifically metalness workflow)
Have you guys considered a resolution scale option in the Capture Settings window? Having to "manually" render at 4k or similar only to resize in PSD to get more samples in SSR or Alpha dithering is not ideal. Something that works like the resolution setting in the Render tab, but affects the outputted image only would be… -
Re: Project DAVE - Unreal 4 animated short
It is FINISHED! Sorry for the delay guys. I was waiting for an animation to be fixed and had to move in the meantime, but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3dXDOAjefQ The "rendering" was rather cumbersome. Most of it was done using Matinee's built-in recording function. Unfortunately, ALL of the screens had to… -
Re: Maya 2012 Viewport 2.0 thread
Here's some an easy advice for working with the DOF. Create a new dedicated render camera, create a measure tools > distance tool, position one of the distance tools locators at the render cameras lens and parent constrain it to the camera, position the other locator where you want the focus to be. Open the render camera…
