Hey all. So I'm trying to use DDO for a character for the first time and for some reason its just not applying the details to my texture. When I use the Preview I can see everything fine but when I hit the DDO button its like almost nothing is applied to the texture. Its only around the very edges of my texture which is…
It makes a lot of sense that Adesk have chosen aistandard and Max's physical material as a framework. Incidentally MtoA 3.2 and core 5.3 just released featuring: New menu Export Selection to MaterialX allows exporting the selected shading trees to a materialx document. It's also possible to append several looks to a single…
I'm aware of the method in scanline renders in applying hair materials to an object and yielding results as found in this video. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqv8vrkWc_4&t=223s Although I'm looking to do so inside of Arnold as I'm doing my best to deep dive into the render engine. I was hoping I could get some…
When I heard about this competition's theme, I really, really, wanted to make something that would scream '80S!!' This is how Starfall came to be. The skin has a rather dark mountain in the background, with triangles covering it. The following items were used as inspiration: Aswell as the SG 553 Pulse skin. So far, this is…
I wrote a small post on my blog about searching in a web search engine before you ask for help or get too far into a project. http://blog.environmentartist.com/?p=923 Is searching something that you do? Or do you skip this step? Just kind of curious other peoples thought process on getting started in something. I just talk…
You can find good 256GB SSDs for $100, I'd say it's definitely worth it to grab one over a 128GB at that price, it's kinda a sweet spot. The Crucial MX100 256GB was $99 2 weeks ago. And here's a few similar deals http://slickdeals.net/f/7173308-sandisk-ultra-ii-240gb-sata-iii-ssd-95ac-tigerdirect?v=1…
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=110&code=023 I got these, they are real 5.1 headphones (no emulation). The surround sound is quite good (although not perfect) and the general sound quality is good enough for normal music and gaming (don't expect high quality headphones for music listening though). Comfort…
This is looking great man! The jeep is spot on. The updated crates look pretty sweet as well, but the boards going horizontally across the lid piece seem to be really shiny or something. I really like the artifact but I dont think it fits into the scene very well in its current state. It has so much blue to it that it…
Well, I can't help but feel like that earned a dignified response. "Hey! Eyes up here!" :# Happy accident, best way I can put it. And yes, you are correct about testing, debugging and documenting. I guess that's what I'm using this thread for at this time. I could always hope that this stuff helps someone else later when…
