I'd first go and check if the Ryzen platform is now mature or if it's still misbehaving and crashing and doing weird stuff in idle like a few weeks ago when it was released? From what I've read there's a risk you might be in for a PC modder experience at this point: trying a new firmware, Bios setting or driver version…
Can't agree enough with Alex. Being good at googling and knowing how to change keywords to filter specific results is a god send when it comes to learning pretty much anything these days. A lot of times the colleagues are a great resource if you're in the position to be around those people but not everyone is so just keep…
@ Magno : Actually, I simply scaled up the model till his hand is hidden behind the sword. I also tilted the sword slightly to ensure he held it ok. Just little tweaks till it fit. Animations look great, its only the idles where every once in a while one of his fingers pops through. If you have any resources on how to…
The corridor does seem rather monochromatic. Even the video display is just white, when they are almost always used to provide color and lighting to a scene. Try reducing the overall lighting, and make the small lights provide isolated pools of light. Keep in mind that artificial lights are rarely white - fluorescent…
Howdy Howdy, Good news everybody, I began messing around with lighting and I might be to heavy handed with the color but lightmaps are working! :D So I put a good hour into lighting today and I am liking the direction I am going in, I feel as though its going to need a lot of adjustment before its gets to a really…
Don't forget about people going onto reservations so they can rape women and get away with it thanks to the local authority having no power over anyone but Native Americans. Even caught in the act, anyone who is not from the tribe is released and the case is "passed on" to the Department of Indian Affairs where the case…
really appreciate the feedback everyone. Everything everyone said was great and really helps...responding to each of you specifically would take a lot of text, so I'll just address things generally I suppose betrayed isn't really an appropriate word, but there are also other things I can't mention simply because of an NDA…
Step 1. Stop thinking too much. Save your file with a new name. Then come up with an idea, and just try it. There is nothing to lose. Okay, so here is the sign. Step 2. We need that corner to bend. So lets put an edge there and bend it. In Maya I use a tool called multi-cut. In blender, if you don't know what tool to use,…
that's some nice tight detail. looks good, its a nice piece to test your displacement workflow on. actually with hires textures they don't do it like that, one big map. and you can have upwards of 400k of texture space on a film creature. that would be one big ass map what you want to do is take a shot at using multiple uv…
Zak you really should change your post title. From reading the posts its obvious no one really gets that this WAS a Steampunk gun at one time that you are now scrapping off most of the Steampunk elements to make it appear to be a more modern gun. You can edit your first post and change the title. As for the gun I think the…
