Thanks for the response, Adam. That's too bad. There were some fantastic points being made. Well, to continue the discussion, I`ll first touch on the first point. The OP had said he was talking to his dad about unpaid overtime in the industry, and that he couldnt come up with a good reason of why it happens. And that he…
Hello everyone! This character was created based on an amazing concept art done by Maxi Hoy, i decided to create the character in 3d in order to study and explore more the character art pipeline for Unreal Engine 5. The main focuses on this project: Improve my Unreal Engine 5 knowledge, understand the use of Detail…
It's not the same thing and they're not mutually exclusive Baking specular occlusion into a texture is the same as baking ambient occlusion into a texture - you do it so you can insert information that doesn't exist in your meshes into the lighting system. The bent normal stuff is about manipulating the surface normals…
We've discussed the legal stuff ad-nauseum on here. Like any copyright issue it's fundamentally unenforceable if the person doing the bad stuff is somewhere that bad stuff isn't illegal. As far as the tech goes.. I have trouble believing it could ever guarantee an imperceptible change because the whole process is reliant…
If you mean the maya software renderer I'd doubt it will do everything you need it to do for a production quality render. It does do raytracing pretty quickly but what you're likely to miss if you're used to vray (which i haven't used but i'm pretty sure it does this stuff) is the ability to do indirect illumination…
Without knowing more about their tech I can't speak for certain but I "believe" they are using a deferred renderer which would explain the complaints about shaders. If it's a deferred renderer in the traditional sense then all of the textures get rendered out as render targets, so an image with every objects normal,…
DEE: :( I don't know if I want to believe that all women are like that. Is it wrong to think that there are a great number of genuine women out there? I believe there are true women in the world. Women who have grown up from being manipulative little girls into true mature adults with the capacity to truly love someone. My…
Based on my understanding, the first temp .dds file should be a duplicate of the correct (rename) .tif file, but somehow it's just put a image with Recourse Compiler Error text on it. And I don't see a point to keep it. Since saving manually as a crytif file didn't generate any temp .dds file, but well it's just wasting…
Cubik i think he ment that it lacks SIZEABLE main engines for forward thrust... Just looking at it, its hard to believe those little thrusters could push the damn thing. It's obviously made for transportation and maybe some assault (didnt read description) and it looks like it weighs a few tons. To believe those 2-3 foot…
Trying not to demonize or lionize here... it reminded me of watching Spirits Within, anyone else get that feeling? Materials were good, post-processing stuff really helped the believability. but the digital actress herself went skating up and down the charts, just like watching the FF movie. There were moments where you're…
