Maya, to me, is only good for animation and rigging, and the latter is taken care of by using chugnut with max. I may be biased already because I love max so much but the one thing that pisses me off the most about maya is when you have a subgroup selected, you can accidentally select another object. Then you have to go…
:D I wouldn't use a skylight to bright things up, that's just going to ambiently fill your darks with a solid color of light even if it is biased from above or bottom. Go ahead and set up your lights for your primary lighting, then create "bounce" lights off the surface where the light hits, and for its color give it a mix…
Hey guys, I'm wanting to get some feedback on this thing. I've been fumbling around on how I want to present myself and my work and wanted to get your guys thoughts here. Danjohncox.tumblr.com Basically I'm wondering what I should take out or add to this thing. I've got more coming from my time at Ubisoft but I wanted to…
@Boozebeard Not sure of the method you're using to generate that solid object or what does seem to appear double adjacent lines to form a hard edge which in and of itself defeats the whole purpose of implementing a CAD NURBs biased workflow?! The off-axis transitions are fairly straightforward to create using this app,…
Setting hard edges on a copy of your lowpoly mesh and baking that to a texture to transfer from max to maya is well, just a terrible idea. Not only is it a waste of texture memory(as you could simple harden the normals in maya and not use a normals texture) but the tangent biases in max and maya are different, so you're…
I should mention that I'm very biased against gaming laptops. It's a bit silly, but I just can't stand the aesthetic. I'm waiting for something like a new Asus UX (which should have similar specs to the GL version if they follow the example of UX501 and G501) or a new Dell XPS. It might be a while before we get some nice…
(Biased, I like to play Lina) Maybe not fully rework, but would like if they make Lina walk/levitate without her chest being a meter in front of her and her legs are crossed like in the Arcana. Would love to see a crocodile style, scaled fleshy skin Slardar. Ancient Apparition is lacking. Maybe something with Ice…
This all looks amazing, thanks for sharing all these breakdowns! I used that depth biased alpha trick for piles of sand so they better blended with the surfaces they were placed on. The effect kinda breaks down a bit when you have one pile intersecting another though. quick question, since you used a lot of modular parts…
[ QUOTE ] If ANYTHING, what I conclude from this, is that the media was trying to discourage those who would be favoring Bush from voting by slanting their exit polls(why would CNN, a notable liberally biased outlet do anything to help Bush?), figuring their votes wouldn't matter in a Kerry landslide [/ QUOTE ] Actually,…
I know there's some other NIN fans on this board, so if you're one of them, then you'll be happy when I say that TR just put up 4 (4!!!!) albums of new music on nin.com. You can download the first album for free, or pay 5$ for the whole thing. There's also the fancy pants 75$ version and the super fancy pants limited…
