normalmap material weathering tut
Hi I've been really impressed by ambiant occlusion tecniques to generate a dirtmap but I've been wondering if it was possible to get a 'wornmask' in a similar way.

Re: MARI Indie 2.6v5 is now live
I'm of the same mind regarding Mari. It's just so damn convoluted and it eats up resources like a hog... to the point where you have to constantly micromanage your channels and the layers within those channels..as well as what they are linking to. Still, its a good option for those who need a painting app for $150 and dont… -
Re: [Text Books] V.S. [Video Tutorials] ??

Re: Environment job - Seek and rejection
Hello Tom, Some great stuff in there for sure. Keep creating stuff and work a bit more on lighting. What you have is a great start, but mix it up a bit more. From room to room or scene to scene. It's kinda like you play the same note at every point. Give your environments more punch, draw the eye. Less is more, we know you… -
