that link won't help you anyway - the thing getting fixed was superceded by other engine changes. from memory I don't think you can set the priority/order on a per material basis so you're gonna want to split this into separate meshes or modify your decal sheet. I'm not sure which option is best for your use case - pick…
Hey fellow Polycounters! Thought I'd start a P&P before I get too far into my adventure. Currently working on a project with a couple of friends of mine, the idea is to sculpt up a few miniatures and ponder up some rulesets for our own tabletop wargame. I'm working with Maya and ZBrush then exporting into .STL, which will…
Forget the low odds of going from school to AAA. The way I hear it, the odds of going from anywhere to AAA if you don't already have experience are quite remote. And of course, even if you were in it, you'll just as easily get booted out because they massively overspent on production and can't possibly turn a high enough…
Ok, I am practically at the starting point ... Alternatives to Mudbox? I tried Blender, but: 1. Complicated; 2. Too complete for the modest use that serves me
So i'm working on a robot style character for my 3d final project and i'm running into a few issues with the rigging, heres a breakdown. Using maya 8.5 sp1 and advanced skeleton. Since all of his joints are ball and sockets, i'm simply parenting each peice to its coresponding joint on the rig. The only part of the model…
Hey. The knife looks good. However it needs some more work. As Lether said the edge of the blade needs to be brighter. Right now it feels blunt. Other than that it is too clean. It has edge wear but no sign of it every being used. No dirt, or dust, or even finger prints. You could say it is freshly washed, but even then…
I knew as soon as I started this project that I would want a hand-painted skybox, as it would sell the style and inform me of the lighting. After looking at the colours and mood present in my scene, I thought a light purple sky would work well, and contrast with the oranges nicely. I was very fortunate to have my close…
wow, thanks so much guys. I think i've been staring at this thing so long that I cant really see it for what it is anymore, i'll do my best to reply to everything/everyone @sltr0lsson about a 1 - 2 weeks or so for high poly and sculpt pass. For the textures, I definetely wanted that mad max look but mad max looked a bit…
First I gotta say beautiful gun however it could look a LOT better. My guess is you are rendering this out in Marmoset? Awesome! I'll break my feedback down per material pass first and then on to the model itself. DIFFUSE Orange feels REALLY saturated and over the top and I can see what appears to be a ton of AO in the map…
Sorry for not getting back to you, especially after you posted your unlit/lit modes. I was in my final crunch weeks so I was pretty busy. Thanks again for posting those images, they gave some great insight. Looking at your recent image, I've listed 3 main points. Your sky needs to be brighter so you can silhouette the…
