Led backlights is the next gen of lcd's, you might look into those. Reportedly they have better color accuracy and more colors than crt and true black and no light bleed and longer life span but i havnt looked into those much..
It seems to me you copy to get good, but once your good you won't copy. As far as pushing pixels, I get internet pics to blend and overlay on portions of paintings/textures all the time. I plan to keep doing it.
I think so, yeah Looks fake to me. The smoke trailing the sticks into the water, and the water mist itself look really fake. The compositing is nice though. The water (obviously from the ocean or where ever) is blended really nice to the background.
Daz, maybe it's the harddrive caching up on something?, I'm blessed enough to have a raptor, so when it loads, it loads in pace with the game, so I haven't experienced those pauses, but it does chew alot even then.. resource-hungry game.
Yeah, I don't see anything to crit anyways; it looks great! btw, you used the Zbrush retopology tools? God bless you. I hate zbrush's retopo tools. I used it for two days and went back to polyboost.
@LoganCDN If you were to crease those hard edges, you'd still get the same artifacting.,Those large faces will try to smooth out without any reinforcing geometry, and just bleed over like in the images.
I use it for weathering all the time. Wrapping dirt around corners, tweaking drips to match quirky UVs, etc. Before I used to select, rotate, and then try to blend the seam. Saves me a ton of time.
Seems a lot of technical talk threads are bleeding over into general ;') 3ds max in general has broken normal map system, IE it may just be a display bug. Load it into another engine and see how it fares.
My eyes are bleeding. In a good way. They are tears of blood, of happiness, joy, and everything else good. Holy shite. This is some insanely awesome work! My scrolling finger hurts going up and down for about 20min.
Mirror's Edge look slightly different because it's lighting was built with Beast, not with Unreal Lightmass. Although was Mass Effect with Lightmass or Beast? Maybe it's just the exaggeration of color bleeding in Mirror's Edge and Beast that made it look that different.
