Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
this thread definitely needs more pictures. i tried implementing it real quick using this test model by Earthquake. The derivative map was generated in xnormal and looks like this: seems like they work ~ok~. there seems to be a small accuracy gain over tangent space normal maps, since derivative vectors don't need to be… -
Re: T-Pose - What people are using and why?
Reviving this quite important thread, since I've had some problems with choosing the most optimal t-pose. These things concern me: - the importance of the anatomy on the armpit - polygonal angle on the armpit for normal map baking - humeroscapular rhythm (the movement of clavicles, scapulas and muscles related to the… -
Re: Ps: The struggle of a Digital Art Beginner - Need Criticism & Advise
I think it likely that your problem stems from the design itself. I think it's possible to render something well enough that it forces your design onto the viewer, but if you have to do this...perhaps it's time to reconsider a view things. Your sword is interesting, but does it make sense? It appears a large portion of the… -
Re: Discussion: Do you consider yourself to be an artist?
I got nuthin. I think what i create usually is "art," but i dont think i manipulate (or can, because of most of it is commercial) it to having the emotion required to evoke the viewer to feel something. I grew up a musician (musicist lol), playing my violin for anyone and everyone. I wanted to be an artist of music, so to… -
Re: Skin Shader - Realtime Translucency
Heh - I'm looking at a "To Do" list I wrote for myself about two months ago. Two of the items on the list that I hadn't crossed off yet are: - Write a skin shader - Write a tutorial on the basics of shader writing Funny stuff. Thanks for helping me with my list, Joel. :0D I would love to contribute to a project helping… -
Re: really cool explanation about piracy
Those are some good points. I think the biggest problem is that both sides are being undiplomatic in the argument at large. The number one rule that one must never violate if they want to successfully persuade others to their point of view is: Don't be a dick. As soon as you enter the debate with insults or a completely… -
Re: UK urged to apologize to Alan Turing
Sorry, this isn't a discussion over who likes ice cream and what flavor is best. It's a discussion that covers human lives. As has been pointed out in the thread, the guy underwent chemical castration after doing possibly the most that a single person did to end the war, and was so utterly destroyed he commited suicide.… -
Re: [Suggestion] About HEAJ members posts
Hi Guys, I'm the little teacher. I really didn't know that it would have such an impact on the forum. I realize now that it would have been nice to tell you something about it before it happens, my apologizes for that. And thanks a lot to most of you who have welcome us so well! This is a really good experience for the… -
Re: 3ds Max CAT: Adding 'Skin' modifier after rigging causes bones in hand to go haywire
Hey thanks for the reply. The hands are separate elements/objects. I've detached them checked the scale, it's at 100. reset x form anyway,reattached them to the main model then reset xform to the entirety of the model to no avail. Could the hand topology geometry or pose be causing this (it's not the best). I can rig a… -
Re: Maya's interactive tool
Because HighEnd3d seems to be dead, and theres no other traces of this script anywhere took a bit of time to investigate(also google cache is dead too). I think python changed how classes are imported, so add a "." to any from file import class. So modify __init__.py and interactive_tools.py from .interactive_tools import…
