Re: Best Investment - tools, software, etc
for me its my cintiq 12wx. It's definitely the biggest investment I have made in one purchase but worth it imo. If I could have afforded the 21 I would have gone with that instead, but I honestly believe there is more value in the 12wx. Only hurtle I had to overcome is getting used to the lower resolution. (I'm used to… -
Re: Face Sculpt
Raising this from the dead, So I basically stopped trying to do a likeness and just went for a face, that is believable. Right now he is a mixture of a bunch of pictures and sculpts. I'm happier with him, and think after wayyyy too many attempts I actually got better wrinkles, using a cloth brush and inflat. go figure… -
Re: Broken wall
yea but itll look better if its unique for an asset with such unique details to it. if you use tiling textures it wont look as good. for portfolio stuff its better to go the extra mile to make it look good even if it could lower performance/take more time. he could even use this piece as a modular asset and populate a… -
Re: Opinions on new building new PC?
Yep more ram for sure, and that Vid card sucks. As EQ stated you will need better, that one just doesn't do anything for you. That processor is nice, I just put one in and very happy with it. The power is nice too but it doesn't really appear that you need that much. I believe you need at least a 500w to run most i7 boards… -
Re: ZBrush - Best way to achieve a paint knife effect?
Using a tiling alpha with the recessed areas and the buildup on the sides with a Trim or Flatten brush may work too. Try using the same alpha on a different brush and just add to the mesh. Even more so if you use a Morph Target and clean it up after. Also I believe the word "impasto" would apply, at least to the painting.… -
Re: White Queen
I agree with garriola83 you need to fix the face up somehow. The side view looks a little strange and mannish in my opinion. I did a paint over of how you might proceed to fix it. Also i believe that looking at the concept art and comments made by someone that the reference for this character is indeed Kate Hudson. I would… -
Re: omg demo char 3?! RTS Dawn Of War DarkAngel Raven
[ QUOTE ] The coloring to dark for the robe for your liking? [/ QUOTE ] What I believe Vig is referring to is the way your diffuse is cooperating (or not) with your alpha. I see it on the banner mostly, which is what i'll use to make this clear. Instead of doing this: Do this: It's not the finest example, but I did it… -
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Demo was pretty good, combat is fluent, runs and looks great, the camera and mouse controls could do with a bit of work, overall though good enough, that i may pre-order. The reason there's no MP/Coop is because i believe there making a MMO out of the IP. Btw anyone trying the demo and getting a black screen it's a ATI bug… -
Re: MGS4 + Nintendo Revolution controller revealed :O
I believe EA also used realtime tesselation on SSX landscapes, didn't they? Although not to this degree. And Raven, I don't think 1024 maps are off at all. The 'next gen' PC cards are running 256MB of ram, same as the PS3 (which has 256MB main ram, and 256MB Vram). I don't see why the larger textures are out of question.… -
Re: Creating Point Light Maps for Dota 2 in Modo/Modo Steam
Yup, you avoid that by making the padding size on your bakes larger. That creates a border around the bakes so that the parts of the image outside the UV shell don't leak in through aliasing or whatnot. I didn't know it wasn't present in Modo Steam though. In 701 the option is under System > Preferences... I believe the…
