Re: NDo2 or Crazybump
If you're just generating normals from photos, then they are about the same. Each one has different settings and options which you may or may not prefer. Overall, NDO2 has more functionality, as you can create fully 3d normals from scratch with Photoshop's tools. But maybe that's something Crazybump will add in time. -
Re: omg Crazy black lines everywhere! make it stop!
I've heard rumors that ATI is supposed to be improving their OpenGl drivers. While i wouldn't hold my breath, if that is true then the Maya problems will probably disappear. Though better drivers would be nice in general, its a pain to do testing for our game on ATI hardware only to find this or that shader doesn't… -
Re: Tablet PC recommendations
I have the Slate 7 and its a pretty amazing piece of kit. If I could make one recommendation, use Sketchbook Pro for painting/sketching on it. Its one of those programs that not only functions a lot smoother but seems optimised better for pure tablet support (removes the need of a keyboard altogether as well as the… -
Re: UDK - Diffuse-Power Slot - What does it exactly do?
right, it's just a (seemingly normalized) power function. maybe something like pow(NdotL, diffusepower) * diffusepower, and then that's multiplied together with the diffuse texture. in layman's terms you'd probably call it diffuse falloff instead. any values above 1 makes the diffuse term softer, and any value below 1… -
Re: That other console that's not made by MS or Sony
i never had a problem with "cute" look of the nintendo .. if people are pretending to be too cool for nintendo games then i guess they are seriously missing out .. they always think design and function first before everything.. although if this is true then it's a bit of a letdown that revolution wont be as powerfull as… -

Re: Human/Scorpion Hybrid (WIP)
Thanks for the critique i agree with the bubbly looking pincers, they could maybe have been designed with alot more defined shape to them. The idea of the vertical pincers was done do create more of a defensive look rather than offensive. After all the main function of a scorpions pincers is for defence and crashing food,… -
Re: Lightwave Unwrapper Plugin
The cow example is very nice. I'm going to try out Maya 8 today as they have apparently improved their auto pack feature, I wonder if our CG sup can get this functionality working in Maya. Uv atlas is pretty much shit. http://homepage2.nifty.com/nif-hp/lw_plugin/pack_uv_chart_abs_english.htm -
Re: Intuos 3 and Zbrush 3
- You can assign shift to one of the keys, instead of being under "Keystroke" its under "Modifier". Shift + Other keystroke combo doesn't appear to work though. - If the touchstrips don't function normally for zooming in ZBrush, you can assign keystrokes to the up and down like you can with the regular express keys. -
MEL syntax ?
I have two questions about MEL programming, the first. If I want to declare an integer I must always use int, I can't type; int $apple = "bbox"; // correct ? It must be; int $apple = 54; // always a number, the same can be said for floats ? What is meant by, MEL allows you to type commands in command syntax and function…
