Re: Book recommendation: Real time rendering
Was one of the first books I read getting into shaders. Definitely awesome though as you mentioned is now dated. The Cg Tutorial book by Nvidia is a good replacement and is free online too. There's decent amount of content though I feel that Shaders for Game Programming has more variety (post processing, lighting models,… -
Re: Remington 870 Express Tactical
Looking good. Don't really have time to give any "accuracy crits" but from the looks of those images I can at least tell you that some of those edges could use a little softening up, in order to read better when baking. Also the presentation in those images could be better I think, take a look at this tutorial:… -
Re: WIP - Arcade Machine
just use xnormal for your normal maps, its very easy to use and there's a basic tutorial for free on eat3d site, unwrapping shouldn't be hard either just look on youtube for some tutorials this looks pretty simple to unwrap, also i see some edges on the the side you could remove but the model is so lowpoly that i don't… -
Re: [UE4] WIP - Star Citizen Corridor Environment
I mostly started out of hobby back then there werent many tutorials or even youtube xD about in 2013 I started studying as a degree so most of what I learned was through tutorials and critiques.

Re: see through texture question
Did you create an alpha channel in your bitmap? BTW, here's a nice liite tutorial I saw recently, about pre-multiplied vs. normal alpha. http://www.ypoart.com/tutorials/Alpha-about.htm Probably way beyond what you need right now, but the knowledge does come in handy if you see a halo around your transparent material. 3ds… -
3Ds Max inset problem
Hi, I been running into a problem following the Grenade Tutorial of ChamferZone. When he inset the letters/number (01:20:30 into the tutorial) the edges of my number overlaps which afterwards creates a weird shape when I push out the outside edges and chamfer the number afterwards. As the lecturer of Chamferzone didn't ran… -
Developing Skill
Hello Polycount, I am new to 3D modeling and I just got Zbrush 4 pretty recently. I just finished watching these Zbrush tutorials: http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/zbrush/pixozbrush/ And they were very useful, they familiarized me with the interface and what I can do in Zbrush. But now that Im familiar with the… -

3DSMAX - Selecting unwanted vert in symmetry
I am new to 3dsmax and am working on the high poly spaceship tutorial. The problem I have is that when I select one vertex it automatically selects the middle vertex as well. When I turn off symmetry it doesn't do this so I know it has something to do with that. I followed the tutorial correctly and re watched the part…
