SpecularPowerSampler is what you're looking for. The topic of blurry cubemap has been covered several times in the thread i think. (check the 2nd from the left: http://www.mentalwarp.com/~moob/show/shaders/GenericBRDF/shaderGeneric01.jpg)
that sir, is extremely bad ass! only thing is i think if you pushed the angle on the vertical part after the 2nd floor to lean more to the front it would help stylize it more and just look freaking sweet
The whole "borrow money from China" thing is a perfect example of our scare media at work. Japan has lent us by far the most money with China coming into a distance 2nd. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
Thanks, thnom. That's really encouraging. I'm going to take him to a matinee next week. I enjoyed the first one a good bit so if the 2nd is better I'll be able to sit through the whole thing too.
For those curious. I use a 2nd 24" monitor for work. It's on an Ergotron arm so I can position it wherever I need. My desk is tiny, but it all fits and works well. So the 27QHD is huge, but entirely usable.
Thanks Serith, I have moved my 2nd scene down a a bit. I am trying to learn zbrush's tileable texturing techniques so hopefully I will make a better environment next. Thanks for the input, really appreciate it.
Here's my 2nd concept for archer. A rogue archer that has special abilities like incredible eyesight, wide range vision and high precision targeting. Her weapon is ethereal which fires a spiritual arrow that pierces the inner soul.
This is great, really nice modeling! Only crit I would give is the 2nd (lower) trigger guard could use some more geometry, i think sparing some tri's there would really make it look a lot nicer.
I have to say the previous version looked a lot cooler (and more creative, for the matter). I just think u should have gone more bolder with the shapes and design Maybe its 2 early in this 2nd version to tell
Shouldn't the middle set of the wings be under the other two? Or atleast the top under the 2nd which is under the third. Other than that it'll be amazing if you can fit those 6 wings in the tri budget (100 each wing!)
