Your rendered bamboo shoots are about 80x600 pixels, which means they need a texture of about (2πr) -> 240x600 pixels for a 1:1 display. Usually you can afford to go a bit lower. I'd go for a 512² like this: Which gives you two separate textures for the sheets, a border for the top edges if you need a broken shoot at some…
Neither is sweatshop work if you go purely by it's definition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery But does that make it any different? It's psychological slavery and simply abusive. What would you call being forced (be it through peer pressure, fear of losing your job or whatever) to work 100-120h weeks with a mininal…

Yesterday i did some tweaks to everything, i realize that the point of the blade normals were messed up(i think that might be the "baking issues" that Zetheros mentioned), and i'm really more satisfied with what i got now, isn't 100% how i would like but i decided to move on, textures are looking less dull now and some…

Would it be possible to do it with the Parameter-Editor and UVW-Xform too ? Because i dont know OSL or how to access it. I can connect the UV value to a custom parameter but how can I make it (the custom value) random ? And how to do it with only on material for all meshes, so that each mesh get different random UV…

Their 3d printers are all FFF (fused filament fabrication), so they'll be printing using a coil of plastic of some sort. You definitely won't get 100% accuracy, but you might get close enough. It will likely take a few iterations to get the proper scale.. you might find things scale longer in one axis that the others. Or…
@Wendy de Boer > Some of the issues you've brought up have come to mind, and I realize that Austavin is quite poly heavy, which is why I'm going to make an effort to lower the polycount before exporting the model to a series of md2s. Austavin is currently made up of 1230 patches, which will translate to many more polygons,…
