Re: Normal map from a texture
bake your normal maps from HP to LP. than bring the normalmap into photoshop, and use something like crazybump or NDO on the concrete texture to get normal details out of it than past it into a layer above the baked normal map, set it's blending to overlay, and open the layer properties and uncheck the blue channel. Than… -
Re: using photoshop brushes as splines in 3ds max ?
No direct way to do it, but there might be a roundabout way. You used to be able to open illustrator paths as splines in Max. Might have needed a plugin, but it could be done. Assuming it's still possible to do that you could try the following: - Stamp down your brush on a blank layer - CTRL click the layer thumbnail to… -
Re: W.I.P HP Rabargh Gun

Re: Helena from DOA (sarah carter) wip
- dont make her smile, you'll pose the mouth accordingly later - you made the most classic facial morphology mistake : You shaped the eyebrow bone by looking at the 'hairy' eyebrow instead of looking at the bone itself. The bone is horizontal there (check your front ref, look at the highlight from one brow to the other,… -

Re: Guardhouse building

Re: Why crunch mode doesn't work: 6 lessons
You'd be surprised how many times ive heard that said "lets crunch now so we dont have to later..." And everytime it turns out that the early crunch was just to prepare for the later crunch. Worst part of it all is when your lead/boss makes you feel like shit for leaving early after a 10hour+ day. I had this one lead that… -
Re: perfect normal for sand beach
For sand, I found that getting a 50% grey layer and adding some very slight noise to it then overlaying it on a larger detail normal map gave a nice sand grain effect. The benefit is that each pixel represents a different facet (rather than baking or converting from a height map, as that anti-alises the pixels together).… -

Re: How do you organize files and resources?
I find keeping a OneNote journal as a personal wiki helps a TON to keep long term notes about pipeline steps, or what to look out for during QA of a particular asset, etc. Look. I'm smart, sort of, but I find myself wasting a heinous amount of time re-searching for information I swear I already learned about two months ago…
