Re: African Princess
if you are using a HDRI i suppose you use an offline renderer ? looks like marmoset tho If its offline, just place a primitive with an white emissive shader, it the direction and size you want, that would reflect in her eye. If your hdri is really soft, then making the material glossier will not help, maybe try another… -
Re: [UDK] planar dissolve/teleport effect
Thanks for the suggestions :) passerby, actually there are two textures with different panner/rotator setups. One with soft black spots on a white background and one with blurred cracks. After these are composed together, they are blended with a clamped(max 1, min 0) gradient which is generated by the distance of pixels to… -
Re: 2D Sketches
its hard to critique with these posts, because I'm not entirely sure whats going on. Looks like you're going for a fire effect, in which case, you're getting a lot of "stringy-ness" that doesn't really make sense. Try thickening up your brush. The other thing is that you have a bunch of soft edges on things that i don't… -
Re: (Maya) How to straighten organic UVs?
the way I straighten uv's in maya is grab the border vertices, move them into place either with the scale tool or use the align tools in the UV toolkit, then pin them, then select the shell and optimize. To get a quick start you can grab the UV's on the finger tips, make a big soft selection radius by surface, not volume,… -
Re: twist a spline against its will
ahhh! wow lol. didnt know you could do that. ive only really used loft in maya and i guess its quite similar in max. i managed to find a way to do it though. i just detached certain parts of the spline and rotated them individually, then once i put it to editpoly i rotated the ends that met with soft selection. though i… -
Re: Interior : Silent hill'ish cellar / my first post
great stuff man, looks really atmospheric! only thing I would question is the mirrored pipe texture, seems quite obvious. Other than that, if you wanted direct control over specific shadows you could always alpha map a soft, faint black blob onto a plane and position it underneath objects and just slightly above the floor.… -
Re: Sci-Fi textures
i think i recognize some of your photo overlays from stock footage particularly the rust. that shouldn't happend. otherwise i'd say these are pretty good. i prefer the strong lighting you have in there but i guess these are not meant for "nextgen"-shading? personally i would have added a little more surface irregularites,… -
Re: Polycount game server is GO!
Well, SoF2 will not be going on there, so I guess I will just exist in the haze of not knowing its greatness. The server lives in Ohio, USA. As far as what does and does not go on the server, and I do not mean this in a hateful way, will pretty much be up to r13 and I. Suggestions are fine, but please don't get angry if… -
Re: Maya Q
you could probably make seperate buttons/shortcuts for each state. set your preferences one way, shift click preferences to add it as a button to your shelf, change preferences, shift click again. not sure if it'll work, but it worked with adding hard/soft edge buttons. or you could take a look into script editor and see… -
Re: Interior Scene WIP
I'd start by taking the area light that you have in front of the window now, and move it outside, up a couple feet, and angled down slightly. The area light inside might be ok as a fill, but you might want to play with it's brightness etc. I might put a light (area, or spot with large, soft cone) on the hotspot on the…
