Re: baking shadow maps for hair cards with alpha transparency
If you use VRay make sure to bake CompleteMap and not LightingMap. Just throwing that out there. -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
oh well it doesn't look that different from valve. Valve used 3 rgb lightmaps, each storing light intensity, color and shadows for each direction. Epic seems to store shadows, intensity and colors independently.It's maybe more flexible. Simple lightmap doesn't look to store shadows. It's just storing regular lighting… -
Re: fantasy character
Awesome render and paintover, Tim. Mental Ray / VRay for the render, or just standard Max stuff? -
Re: environment uber shader request?
I get your point. that you'd make sense in a realtime engine with optimization in mind, while I was mostly interested in having a proper visual feedback in a 3d package. Even tough, in my opinion, blending textures for a terrain only make sense because you want to preserve a high pixel ratio without spending too much vram.… -
Re: panther ausf G.

Re: New(ish) Sculptures and a couple of concepts
carlo_c: they're a fair time commitment, tbh... I think it could be why more people don't do them. They range between a month and 3-4 months. Goblin guy took about a month.

Re: Thanator
Oe-ri po leiu, tsmuke. Very nice Palulukan! Beautiful attention to detail and flow with the head dress cluster. The rear legs do look a little short, but it may just be the pose and the way they're coiled up in that posture. Can't wait to see this thing finished and hunting tawtute-vrrtep. :) -
Re: Queen (death to 56k)
THats freaking awsome, did you render this with vray? -
Re: Volume lights and transparent planes
I tried mental ray and that looked even worse, didn't try vray. Stupid Max scanline. I didn't use a smokey clouds gizmo because I didn't know there was a smokey clouds gizmo. I was using smokey clouds planes (or rather pFlow generated smokey clouds planes) because that was the only way I knew of off hand to get smokey…
