Re: Model Topology/Method Question
I think what you're doing is fine for the most part. What's this model for? Knowing that will help answer your question better. These are some things I would personally do (see image). You could remove a lot of edges to create quads (as seen in green). You could also condense the parts highlighted in yellow to avoid a lot… -
Re: moola beta
sent it keyser. Expect it in your junkmail. Thats where I got mine. as far as the games, ro-sham-bo is best out of six, with an extra little rule. The gold nugget game gives you 6 nuggets with numbers 1 through 6. A random numbered nugget is placed on the table between the players between 1 and 6. You then choose which of… -
Re: Lighting Basics and You...
The Omni light only is 6 spotlights, when needing shadowmaps. Otherwise its indeed one of the mathwise simplest/cheapest/fastest form of a lightsource, cept for infinite distant light, as Vailias suggests. But as shadowmapping is used in many games, and no-raytrace stuff is around, omni in realtime shadow situation is… -
Re: Diablo 3
Between 1-5mill~ Depends how lucky I get at logging into the AH at the right times :s I've gotten about 5 drops that sold for 1-4mill and a bunch that sells for 500k, and a lot for 150k ish. And surprisingly, this 6-stat helm recipe I've got has been rather profitable. Salvaging all lvl 60 items to get reagents... it costs… -
Re: 3D render character showcases
Your post has been here for a bit and it hasn't got any response. There are things that can assist you. The wiki has everything you need, and a whole lot more: wiki. I put some stuff below that might help. 1/ Anatomy: That is really the first thing with figures. A good practice is to start your model naked so you can… -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
@Celosia as you can see in step 6, yes that's sort of what I'm doing, though I'm not using the mesh to curve node. Also, wow, I didn't know the curve radius did that - I was initially trying to use the curve to mesh node but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted. I only experimented with it a bit but I guess it's possible… -
Re: Hand-painted stone texture, bad tiling?
If you want to go nuts and improve drastically, I'll tell you what we did in my digital painting course where everyone improved drastically. One week we'd paint 6 different kinds of stone textures (granite, stone slabs, obsidian, etc --or even a couple the same kind), then the next week do 6 different kinds of wood… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 8
+1 Understandable. People do generally have a short attention span but might I suggest having the two related to each other. Having an environment challenge every 2 months is a bit more realistic like the others have pointed out, but in doing so you could have a bit more diverse range of themes; instead of covering 12… -
Non Realtime Graphics - Displacement maps for wrinkles and pores
So I hear it's common practice to combine a displacement map for fine detail, but for the really fine stuff, micropores, wrinkles etc you combine that disp map with a normal/bump map. I'm having a hard time baking these out and making them fit. Here's some tests. I'm baking from subdiv 6-1 in the first two. But when you… -
