i know it to be faster 95% of the time(for me) when you have to match a photographic diffuse. I hate to have to repeat this but do not assume you allways handpaint from scratch. Can you honestly say that sculpting a brick wall to match a photo ( like this one…
thanks guys/girls I did actually add the mistcloak but to be honest it didnt really work without her and it being in motion and having it flow around her like mist so I decided its not worth it as I cant achieve those things and Id rather do a good job of post war vin nearer the end of the book where she doesnt wear the…
Aw, wtf.. I specifically chose my blogspot to upload so it wouldn't compress the images (and my imageshack account has too many images atm, need to delete like 500 just to be allowed to upload again, lol) I guess it does compress them. I'll find a new host and if not just start uploading to my site I guess. Thanks guys,…
Candystrips - thanks for the comments - I've heard before that the back right corner needs to be lit or finished... for a while there it was completely empty, and after filling it I never thought to go do much with the lighting - but yeah I'm gonna go ahead and do that for sure now! As for the door not being in line with…
Just my 2 cents but.. Last year I've learned to use modo, maya, little bit xsi, blender and a bunch of other apps dealing with 3d/textures/comping. Now I''m not a master in those all, but coming from only 3dsmax knowledge it was good thing to do. I can work on a more abstract level and not get stuck on the software cause I…
Yeah I'm intending on putting wires and gears in later more detailed joint connections and such. This is a long shot but I was thinking about that whole "tipping over" idea but most of the mechs I've looked at, especially from the mechwarrior era, don't really have to have that in mind, maybe because its a mech and it's…
@DWalker I'll mess around with selection states for the menu when I get home later tonight. I did intend for the 3 colleges to be read as attended rather than graduated. I have enough credits for several certificates at the community college and I'm currently taking the last class for an Associates in Art. I'll play around…
You might be better off buying something that actually intends to complete an asset, like a 3D motive tutorial, etc. Getting something that does a breadth overview tends to be NOT the right thing a novice needs to actually make something to completion. If there are features you need to know about, documentation already…
Crazy you might hate me for this, but for a green scene there is hardly any green in there. It's mostly dull brown. Aside from the one type of plant the greenist thing you have in there is the sand... one would think it'd be the opposite, to have the grass green, and moss on the rocks, etc. If this is what you intended…
Yeah good point, I'll try that. Intended for an ARMA-like game, both first and third, can be seen from any angle due to free look. That's also why I've got a hint of internal pieces when the fire selector is on full or semi. Yeah, automatic triangulation. Now that I'm moving on to the final bakes I'll make sure it's done…
