Re: Rendering models
I am sorry for the vague question. Maybe I should not have said best, but I was just curious for which renderer is commonly used when it comes to rendering your model for your showreel. I am not so fond of the Zbrush rendering, except for when it comes to WIP, and I am considering using Vray or Mental Ray for rendering my… -
Re: How to merge a Sculpt with Rocksurface the right way
Since you're gonna normalmap it, the mesh density only matters where you're going to notice a silhouette. Most of those triangles are wasted. It's not just a lot of vertices to transform, it's also a lot to load into VRAM & to store in memory. The lighting is going to be static right? Then don't bake a huge normalmap,… -
Re: Nvidia geforce gtx 480 and 470 Price and Specs
I got a 9800GT 1gig vram, I'm probably going to skip the 200 series cause I don't want to have to upgrade again for DX11, I can wait a year or so for prices to drop or a better line of cards. -
Re: Dream Room
Are you planning to put this in a game engine or are you going to render it with mental ray or vray? -

Re: --=Rudy's sculpting depot=--
Thanks a lot Amir. There we go guys. This last piece is titled Lost. It's always about my research on emotions, expression and body. Modeled in Zbrush and rendered in Vray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBUyTR8ajEM -
Re: Advice on a good Desktop
For rendering, ie vray, mentalray, etc. what you want is a fast CPU. The GPU is for realtime performance (ie. the viewport in Max / Maya / Unreal Engine /etc.), or for special GPU-based renderers. -
Re: Discussion: Increasing your speed with highpoly hard-surface modeling
For those that use Maya, here's a script I wrote a while back that does the same thing: //name: QuadConnect//by: PolyhertzstartQuadConnect;global proc startQuadConnect (){global string $curObj[], $vrts2Tweak[];string $origList[];$origList = `ls -sl -fl`;$edjList = `filterExpand -ex 1 -sm 32`;polySplitRing -stp 2 -div… -
Re: The Dragon Express
Heh Jessica, Nice clean models and a strong style. As for your question it's usually preferred to have less materials/textures on a model for perfomance as each one will result in a draw call. The more you have the more work the CPU will be required to do. If you had used two 2048 maps the texture resource in MB would be… -
Re: Bake Normal Map into AO
If I may sneak in a question to you guys who can do what philipk is asking about, but in max, how do you do that? I have tried using vray for this but i just don't get a properly lit ao result. The normal gets in there but its lit from a angle and thus doesn't look right
