Hi Techy I also grabbed this shader a while back when trying my hand at Cg, and I actually emailed the fur shader author about the effect and its max portability. Here is some info : ............ 1. I have the whole toolkit installed : toolkit, browser, CGfx viewer, Max Plugin and DX90c. I can browse all the CG shaders in…
Not sure if this is the right place to post as this place is for 3D art, but hopefully it's fine. Today Autodesk released a new update to Maya, and with it came a strange hidden feature my buddy and I managed to dig out: 4D modeling. It is not mentioned in the release notes and there is no documentation of it (so far). I…
Hi there, Just to preface this I've done substantial searching for the following issue and tried a whole multitude of potential adjustments, tweaks and fixes to no avail. As I can't attach my models here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YHnZfX_DDLqnMM77z0s9pXW_BZDEchLn?usp=sharing I will say that my…
Round up, round up, ladies and gents. It's Friday and it's time to re-cap with what's been happening around Polycount and other communities this week. A bunch of cool art from our very own talent pool, jokes, some comic related art over at ZBrush Central and some CGHUB goods. Put on your bibs because it's time to feast…
Hi there! I think I quickly mentioned this some time ago but I have been thinking about it more over the last few days. There is a possibility that such tool already exists somewhere, but I thought I could share the design document and maybe, find someone interested in coding it! ***Hotkeys holder for tablet and tabletPC…
Hey, I am definitely looking for feedback/critique, so please let me know what you think. A bit of background: I quit my retail job a couple months ago and have been scrambling to get some kind of a portfolio together. I've been doing 3d game art stuff for a bit less than a year, but I've done a lot of traditional art…
I use excel. Yep I said it... This will probably seem pretty ghetto but I've tried other project/task tracking solutions and it always seems to be a bunch of micro management. I'm a working lead so the majority of my time needs to go to doing actual work not tracking and filling in fields. With a lot of the trackers, I end…
NOTE: There's spoilers in my comments on Dear Esther below. Briscoe's environment work was stellar. There's no questioning that. My reference folder filled up nicely while playing through the game - thank you for that! I did, however, not get on with the experience itself to well. I'm hesitant to write that I wish Dear…
Eric, Thanks for your reply. I'll look forward to these types of features. Keep up the great work. You and your team have developed some excellent tools. For now, when generating PBR materials from photographs, we can consult the reflectance values per material in your XML files (/PhysicsLookup) for some good suggestions.…
Our friend renderhjs has a Flash site, http://www.renderhjs.net which he can be forgiven for, because he also has a HTML version very clearly available in the upper left corner. But it's only just barely forgivable. Are you trying to get a job as a Flash designer? Or as a game artist? The biggest reason people in the game…
