Re: Swapping Max files seamlessly?
There's a way to set the absolute local paths to relative paths using the Asset Manager (burried somewhere in the file menu, I think). That way so long as your textures are in a subfolder of the folder that contains the Max files, it should all load up. Or you could set up a virtual drive to a certain folder and ensure you… -
Re: Smooth foliage like in Breath of the Wild / Europa by Helder Pinto - Mini tutorial
I actually have a parameter in the material setup to darken the leaves towards the center of the tree, but It doesn't look the way I wanted, so I only added a slight darkening. There is also actually a way to fake this ao effect cheaper than dfao. You can take the distance to the center of the x and y component of the… -
Re: Freelance questions.
I'd be extra cautious with them, from my (relatively small) local freelance experience companies don't even bother looking at ID, unless I'm initiating a signed contract to avoid being screwed ltr. I hope you'll get some input from more experienced Russians who post here though. If you have payment option choice, better… -
Re: Stylized Dungeon Environment [UE4]. Looking for some critiques!
Interesting work. It's a nice set, and you did some great work with the materials. My biggest issue is that it's hard to see the work you put in. The lighting is limited to a few local areas, so it's hard to see anything in the recessed areas. I don't think you have to make things a lot brighter, but perhaps you can add a… -
Re: Workflow - Manual vs Preset
I keep all my program modifications, like scripts for max and hotkey assignments, backed up in triplicate (local hard drive, DVD, offsite cloud storage) since they constitute the "form" that I like to work within As for templates for things like materials or rendering, most of that is based on taste, which is an… -

Here are the openings listed on their… -
Re: Contracted Job Survival Guide
just go for it. If nothing is holding you down (wife, kids, money, ect) then just pack your shit and hit the road. Bam! adventure time! I just moved down to san diego on the wim for a contract artist position. it could go anywhere from 3 months to a year, hopefully longer but there are no guarantees. I could be looking for… -
Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
Those last shots with the color map are beautiful, really like how it's working. Unless you're planning a lot of localized detail though I feel like it could just be two tiling textures (rock, grass) with some transition textures if need be. You wouldn't get all the same fidelity, but then the player is probably never… -
Re: Sketchbook: Retrotation / Zephir62 / Matt Olick
inbetween revamping my resume and portfolio, been painting more on this orthographic. I had an idea today, and I don't believe I've seen any complex voxel character rigs with PBR textures yet... wonder how this is gonna turn out! Planning on putting a windy scarf attached to his neck, made of voxel particles that pull… -
Re: MMPOG Addictions and treatments
Yeah, I think everywhere has issues with WOW. I won't even go into some stories I have heard on the board. Needless to say there are a lot of people that neglect the rest of their life due to it. I would say to either trash his computer so he can't play games or he needs a change in lifestyle. Maybe a move, change of…
