Re: Various hand Painted Props
I'd say get some simple lighting PLUG http://blog.environmentartist.com/?p=205 in the scene. Not sure if this is going to be in Maya, UDK, CyEngine, etc. Jessica's point about the textures feeling flat is valid. But once you light it that might change things a good amount. One small gripe I noticed on the center floor… -
Re: Shotgun Model, Critique and Help?
The shadows are shading errors. This is caused by having improper edge shading, there are other causes. The linked thread above explains alot of this: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107196 Your mesh is sharp and blocky in areas, like the stock, the trigger guard etc. Your pump has no internal geometry, its… -
Re: anyone made tiling meshes with mudbox
I have a technique for making perfectly tiling meshes in zbrush, which is slightly longwinded but very good, been using to make cliff faces, cliff tops etc which tile in one direction, it is very powerfull for this, you just have to work around some issues, like dont use the edge of the mesh to tile across, that way you… -
Re: who is the best band in the world?
Good god, there's no way I could ever even think of a favorite band with all the stuff I listen to. I MIGHT be able to pick a favorite artist from every genre I listen to, but that includes rock, metal, industrial, techno, hip hop, country, classical, etc, etc.. Ok, here's some stuff that I'm digging at the moment, that's… -
Re: Sony: Nobody will ever tap full potential of PS3
I just wish metal gear solid 4 is quickly ported to the xbox 360. I think the main thing about Sony's machines has always been third party support with exclusive titles, the PS and PS2 both had the largest game libraries of their generation of consoles. Wasn't the PS2 the hardest console to code for compared to the Xbox… -
Re: Children of Men
Just caught the film tonight and I have to say that I was really impressed, This is really an awesome film from beginning to end, with one of the most original concepts to come around in quite some time. I feel it's right up there with the likes of 12 Monkeys, Gattaca, Mad Max, etc. This movie had me thinking about it on… -
Re: On the job: Time spent on asset creation/revision?
Yeah, there's no real standard. For example, let's say that you need to make a car. If this car is just a prop in a game, and won't be driven, it might be very quick to make. Maybe a few hours, or a couple of days at most to make it. However, if you need to make a car for a racing game, and need to do the interior, engine… -
Re: Flu shots this year?
Regardless of what you think about vaccination, homeopathy is unmitigated, ridiculous bullshit. The more you dilute something, the more potent it becomes? Water has "memory"? Total crap, placebo effect aside. Please don't give these charlatans your money. However, a lot of people mix up homeopathy with herbal/natural… -
Re: Windows 7, 3DS Max, and weird Wacom tablet problem...
there are a few threads on problems like, including one i started awhile back. you sound like you're in the same boat as me. i tried every hack i could find online for disabling the various tablet services in windows, but nothing totally fixed it...i would think it was fixed for 10 minutes, and then something would go… -
Re: I have something to confess =/
what, this forum is the most politically incorrect there is, and that is great. I might have not been around the "good old days" but this forum really holds quite an amount of different thinking (politically, artwise, intelligence etc. etc.) people who can take a fullblow hit against their thing and can defend it and the…
