I've graduated a while ago but I've never found a job yet, so I'm trying to improve my portfolio now since I was a bit behind I guess, I took some time off for personal reasons and now I feel really behind the industry standards and trying to catch up, (when I graduated PBR workflow and substance painter didn't exist…
Thanks guys for the replies! I've decided then that i will get Photoshop CC and see what i can do from there then. However i'd like to know if there are any websites that are helpful for teaching about textures? I'm currently on Digitaltutors but i haven't checked to see if they have something for textures yet. Thanks…
Ok. So this may be a really stupid question to ask. I'm having trouble getting my static meshes into my map window. I've exported my .ase's as usual. Created a file structure in my Maps folder. Imported them in the content browser, named the grouping 'Meshes'. I can see them in the content browser. Problem is when I try…
Let's say I bake a heightmap texture to normalmap via 2d program (nvidia tools, xnormal PS plugin, crazybump, etc) - since the 2d program/plugin doesn't know how the faces are rotated on the uv map - the resulted normalmap might be shifted the wrong way. How would I go about getting the orientation right ?
Hi there. I'm not sure if you encountered a bug but I for one certainly haven't found this kind of issue with mentalray AO baking. However there is issue with units. Please ignore the information below, if you are aware of this! ---- All settings of Baked AO map are taken from "Render to Texture" panel and are in **…
Thanks guys! That actually helped quite a bit. I think I need a bunch more practice to get where I want to be... but I've figured out some good stuff for how to use dDO properly. Let me know what you think: I'm pretty sure I overdid it on the metal grunge- you can especially see it on the magazine in a few of the shots- it…
well, if you aren't going to be doing any serious animating or character work, you can see about disabling the loading of the character studio/skinning tools from being loaded on startup. If you are just modeling and texturing you can also get rid of any mental ray or other rendering plugins that are being loaded on…
This contemporary chair design combines a sleek, glossy wood seat with natural grain and a matte black wrought iron structure. The curved metal filaments create a refined silhouette, while the central wood piece serves as both seat and backrest. Perfect for outdoor spaces like gardens and terraces, this chair also fits…
Thanks @Olingova ~ The cockpit was one of the things I spent most time playing around with different designs, so I really appreciate the feedback on this :) The things on the front are supposed to be antennas, I had experimented with guns somewhere on the cockpit, but I couldn't get them to fit in a way I thought looked…
go ahead and pimp that third image as an in-line! the other pieces cry out to be complemented by their brother! table-breaking be damned, our bandwidth can handle it. aesir, space and shotgun have mostly covered the broad comments. i also like the first and third best, but i think a lot of that just comes from the second…
