Re: [WIP] AR-15 (300blk short barrel)
Maybe it's just me but: I feel like this is the main problem, not only on those types of shapes, but also on the way you did your control edges over the whole model. Left part it's actually smoothing out over the whole length, almost turning it into an oval, right one with the proper control edges controls the rounding to… -
Re: Tiled texturing advice
I like to make my normals first and texture last. Depending on the results wanted. I can get some really nice results from a texture or photosource. I tend to use the bake information while texturing. For example, using a height map to maske where grim and dirt end up (like in cracks and recesses). Another example is using… -
Re: Sculpting Stylized wood [Zbrush]
If I could make an example it would be a waste of time since I have no clue how to sculpt these forms and I've attempted to create an example but it's of no use, I can't create anything that would help, that's what I'm wanting to learn, how to sculpt the forms and patterns of the wood in the images above. Yet to my… -
Re: Facebook buys Oculus VR
Well yeah of course, judging in advance is a little pointless; best is to wait and see. Just saying though, while it may be true that if it wasn't for kickstarter, we would never see OR and farther more, facebook would never ditch so much money for it. But the problem is, Facebook could just as well give that money right… -
Re: Quick question about ambient occlusion maps
Technically, baked AO into your diffuse is not going to be completely realistic if you're using an engine with dynamic lighting everywhere. For example, if you bake some AO into the mouth of a monster, you can then never shine your flashlight into that monster's mouth and see all the internal details. Though I'm not sure… -
Re: LGBT issues and sexual diversity in games
Wait...so, I googled it. It's a japanese term that, near as I can tell, is same-sex-romance-fan-fiction of established manga and IP that did not otherwise have same-sex romance. So now I'm confused... 1: How is that related to the conversation, other than just throwing a tired stereotype of the LGBT community around? 2:… -
Re: (Help) 3D High Poly Baking - Trouble with Simplicity
Re-read what I posted dude. A. I said it could go as high as 16 sides, your mesh and my example clearly have 12. B. Segments, not sides. Again your mesh has like 15 segments, whereas my example has 5. All the little vertical indents add unneeded geometry, bake issues and overly complex uvs. C. Again, you could increase the… -
Re: Torchlight by Runic Games
"I'm curious, anyone have any idea what sort of textures will be supported for the torchlight editor? Do the torchlight game models use straight diffuse?" We save things off as .png then convert them to .dds Typical texture sizes for props,weapons are 64x64,128x256,256x256 if its a small item it gets a small texture. Most… -
Re: Mountain Church [WIP]
There needs more thought put into ambient light and the fall off between it and key lights. The candles in the last image for example seem too dim and clearly giving off the wrong colour. If your in a dark room surrounded by candle light, everything isn't orange. The colour is of course easy to fix but try get some… -
Re: Morpher in 3ds max problem
Adding a multiplier is not a problem, you can just say for example myblendvalue = mymorphvalue*2 A curve could also work, but kind of a pain to set up. If you're down to experimenting you can also try to use the Reaction manager, wich does exactly that. You set up a master (your morpher) and a slave (your mat). Then you…
