Re: Vray Reflection Problem, Please help!
You got it! :) Looks like you have your glossiness set quite low. The key to good reflections is what they are actually reflecting. So your lights/environment have to be set up properly. The material is plastic so it wouldn't have a gold reflection colour. Only metals derive their reflection colour from their colour(in 3D… -
Re: Arizona bound, Got job
House selling sucks ass at the moment. But buying a house is actually a pretty good idea. The housing market was in a huge boom in Arizona up until two years ago. Right now its at the lowest its been in decades. The positive thing about it is that property is dirt-cheap in AZ for anyone who is looking to buy. You can get a… -
Re: Would some games be better with less violence?
I agree, when its used just for filler instead of adding to already solid gameplay, its useless. On the opposite end though I am a huge fan of some gore in my games, especially fps games. Games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 could do with some limb removal, bullet wounds and fractured/partially… -
Re: Arch & Design material (3ds Max, mental ray) render result is too glossy, which parameters to tweak
There's nothing much actually wrong with mental ray, it's just outdated - it's perfectly capable of producing excellent results - even if they're not as correct as more modern systems. It was pretty much industry standard for a decade after all. If you can move to Arnold then I'd suggest you do that but don't expect… -
Re: Even Valve is having layoffs
This is especially strange because of how Valve works. Basically they let people come up with what they think would contribute the most to the company, whether it's something completely new or helping out with ongoing projects. Letting go such extremely talented people who's been at the company for nearly a decade (in case… -
Re: The Forgotten Temple
Thanks Otrick, still trying to get some things broken up. I agree, the wall and ceiling need a bit of variance. I'm going to beat up the mesh a little via pushing and pulling of some verts. I'm also going to do some vert blending and get a grungy texture painted around key areas. I'll probably also do some crack or other… -

Re: game industry!? :( Tell me the truth.
It's true that a lot of game companies have gotten increasingly more corporately-focused and abusive toward their employees over the past decade. However, it's also worth pointing out that there is a very obvious reason why they've been able to get away with it. Some people simply love making games so much, that they are… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: App constantly crashes, 3DO results much different than Marmo 2/Unity
3DO isn't really a good previewer. I hope they update it to something like a light marmoset viewer while giving it a few more options. Turn of HDR in 3DO to avoid that shinyness. I hope to see significant improvments to 3DO when Suite 1.9 get released. I don't have any issues with stability with 3DO, mostly DDO that… -
Re: Non reflective textures on a chrome material questions
The offline renderers(mentalray/vray/etc) do use pbr/pbs, and have been for over a decade. It's just different shading models. The latest derivative is Disney pbr which the games industry has adopted wholeheartedly. Mentalray uses reflection/glossiness. glossiness being the opposite of roughness. for a detailed offline…
