Re: Baking artifacts
EDIT: Never mind, this is not related to the question and as you stated you forgot to add the mods for the example picture. —- You have 2 choices in a situation like this. 1: match the low shape as closely as possible to the high 2: Cover that entire crevice with a flat face and let the normal map create an illusion of the… -
Re: How to bake in Marmoset Toolbag with infinite padding?
Wider padding will take a little longer to render, and generally isn't necessary except in some extreme situations. Wide padding shouldn't cause any problems though, so you can set it as high as you like. It's worth noting that depending on your texturing workflow, the padding in your baked maps will likely be replaced in… -
Re: 3ds Max: Texture Atlas with repeatables
One way I’ve done this is to use a single uv in atlas layout. Ambient occlusion texture uses this layout, no tiling. Diffuse and normal map are tiled, and are using same layout except each bitmap has Tiling values so they are scaled within the atlas. One uv, but use tiling values in the individual bitmaps to tile them.… -
Re: Ghost Nova (Starcraft 2 Fan Art)
Hey man, its getting better! One thing you need to really focus on is smoothing out the planes of the face more, and paying close attention to the silhouette of her face and the basic forms. Check the shadows and light on your sculpt and try and compare it to your reference. For example, the first thing that jumped out at… -
Re: Portfolio Critique requested
As far as texturing goes, I think your Jake Sully Hunting Knife is the best piece. That said as far as a portfolio for applying for jobs, there's still a lot more you could do. ~I would omit completely that you're making props in 2 days time. It's not so much you shouldn't make your models fast, but you're better off… -
Re: Registry clean up How TO?
The registry is just a database of keys and values - all this "cleaning" stuff is mostly voodoo and dancing in a circle around some totem. Programs usually look for specific registry keys, just as they would have done in an .ini file long ago. As long as specific keys are accessed it doesn't matter if your registry is… -
Re: When we say multiple material id on a single model, what do we mean?
@musashidan Okay, that's something I've never heard of as a workflow. Gotta ping you someday when I come up with a character project soon to see how it works in practice. :D I've always just used separate materials on a single UV channel and that's it, so this is completely new to me. @bitinn I'm not sure what you're… -
Re: Charlie's Chocolate Factory
Here is my C&C... (1) Looking at your level as a whole, it feels very noisy. It doesn't feel coherent as an environment. Their is nothing that implies it's the Willy Wonka Factory other than the Chocolate bars that has it's name on it. (1a) For example you have this fantasy-esque land at eye-level, but you have a… -
Re: WOW: Mists of Pandaria And Kungfu Panda
Let me clarify since I think I didnt articulate my post well enough and some of you are running off in a completely different direction I intended for it to go. I was told, by quite a few people, those who have taught and or worked with those who went on to work in Blizzard's cinematics department, that the very same… -
Re: First time hand painting texture critique
Good progress! Nice to see you applying the critique :] I think you can push a bit more, especially in terms of contrast and lighting. For example, making the underside of the blade darker will help with dimension. Think warm vs. cool. So if your lighting is a nice blue, then you can make your shadows a warmer…
