Alright, last week was really busy for me so I didn't get a lot of time on my entry. Wanted to get some concepts up of my vehicle. I was gonna try to create 3 more concepts to have 9, but feeling burnt out from it and I wanted to get some opinions before I go too far ahead of myself in concepting. Most of this is more of…
3d studio dos r2 for me as well, although when I got it from a friend as student version, r4 was out already. Did some very simple modelling, mostly animated stuff for fun sake (logo animations and such). No internet no manuals, it surely was a fun time figuring out that software ;) What stuck is that I still use the cyan…
Well for some reason the vray camera is making the image a little weird. Not sure why. BUT getting closer to the finished (or workable finished product) Im doing a high poly model to learn some different modeling techniques. I wont texture this because of the poly count and besides, before I even think about texturing I…
I discovered that the raytraced shadows can be fixed using bias shadow rays. Still no idea about the texture override, the MEL command for running TURTLE is this: ilrTextureBakeCmd -target "pCubeShape1" -target "pCylinderShape1" -target "pConeShape1" -frontRange 0 -backRange 200 -frontBias 0 -backBias -100 -transferSpace 1…
Thanks for the feedback :) DWalker, you must have looked just as I was replacing the images in the simulation gallery with watermarked ones. This should work now, could you please let me know if it's fixed? Personaly I also like the banner images idea, but I decided against it because the article said to keep the…
In a perfect world this would be true. But this would also be the world where Jim Crow laws didn't exist. Or the spike in hate crimes against Muslims/Sikhs after the 9/11 attacks. Empirically, racial and gender discrimination is well documented. As I said before, you need to distinguish between directly blaming the cause,…
Hmm...I see you've posted the same thread on another forum I've a long held membership with, that basically caters to the CGI Film/TV VFX sector of the entertainment industry. I'll suggest if you like, running a search on their GD board there are a number of relevant discussions on the subject. As for myself, my primary…
Great follow up. Thanks for sharing. I hope the knowledge and insight gained was worth the time spent watching it. I'm glad for this. To comment on one small section of the video, I'm glad there is mention of the US's involvement in Iran in the 1950s. In many 9/11 related discussions here, I've mentioned the history of…
I think my productivity would improve if the culture here recognized headphones as a "leave me alone" kinda signal. I violate the sanctity of headphones too, because our culture doesn't see them that way, but would be glad to leave headphone-equipped people alone if it meant I would enjoy the same privacy. I do think core…
[ QUOTE ] you should play with smoothing groups this will make your work pop out a lot more (and yah the latest versions of the exporter/game supports them) look at pior's bunny that's a really good reference of great smoothing groups/ut2003 stock anims and nice specular use, your model really deserves it [/ QUOTE ] Yeah,…
