Re: Losing my way a bit
Don't worry about concepting. Deal with that later. Most staff artists don't do concepts. Only if you work in a smaller shop, or you work in a senior/lead role. Specialization... it's hard to become reasonably good at any one skill, without spending a good amount of time focusing on that skill. Save the generalist… -
Re: General dSLR advice
While I don't have any experience with Sony cameras, I have a few friends that has been shooting with them some time ago. One thing to remember thought is when buying a none Nikon/Canon body, you might find your self limited later on when you have a good library of lenses and Sony no longer offers you an upgrade. So watch… -
Re: Gender monkey warriors ( I need a better name)
JadeEyePanda figured out what the black dots were, it's just the color run off. I have the the diffuse color between two of the ao layers, one is at overlay and the other is colored a dark blue; thus anything out of the white zone shows up as black. That's why the dark spots aren't actually showing up on the model. I… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jeff Parrott
Nice Jeff, try to mix up some hues into your texture, you can accomplish this painting some colours on new layer and changing opacity. I made you a little overpaint, far from perfect but it should get you idea, some detail work you can pull off easily on new layer by painting and erasing. Hmm too much red, lol. Update: I… -
Re: Isolate Selection Toggle
Assuming you're working in Maya, you can isolate a group node and anything inside the group will be added to your isolation view. Conversely, anything removed from the group will be hidden from view. You can easily MMB drag and drop items into and out of groups using the Outliner, which bypasses any reference/template… -
Re: Baking multiple object's AO in 3ds Max: I keep getting black BGs
I think its a bug myself. seems to just get it into its head to ignore rtt background colours sometimes and there's bugger all you can do to persuade it otherwise. its usually fixable in photoshop by selecting according to alpha, copying to a new layer and then defringing/dematteing over a plain white layer but its a toss… -

Re: PC-CSGO | Martian Revenge (Done)
Hi Wolfiie, in photoshop (in your targa document) click on the 'Channels' tab on the right, then at the bottom click on the new layer button (looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded over). This new layer should automatically be called 'Alpha 1'. Save As a Targa and make sure 'Alpha Channels' is ticked. Then in… -
Re: What treatment does Crazybump apply to displacement map ?
It looks like several blur passes, with a top layer which is blurred enough to kill any noise detail and overlayed. Also, it very possible to get what Keres posted in Crazy bump if you play with the settings, you just have to experiment. Either way, nDo and Crazybump are the way to go, because simply put, managing each… -
Re: Battle of Britain Pilot - wip (Crit wanted)
Another delayed update, Really trying to finalise the mid layers. Ended up doing back and sculpting a basic anatomy reference and sweater as I was having trying to work out the layering and proportion by eye. Should have done this from the beginning but you live and learn. Getting more and more comfortable with clothing…
