Re: New to 3D Art, what do you guys think?
@Youshi Yeah it was the smooth edge/harden edge function. I will have a look at that. It is true, always better to actually know what you are doing and why things are happening. They are supposed to touch. I was wondering if this is acceptable to have them touch like that. But sounds like it is no big deal really? Thank… -
Re: bad sleep habits
I used to do allnighters and go to bed at 4 or 5 in the morning for years... Not any longer! If you do it too much it start to hurt your body. Your health deteriorates and your brain function suffers. As a result of that the quality of your work and life goes down. Now I try to keep as regular schedual as possible and… -
Re: .FX authoring tool with a visual interface?
As of right now, there is no such *commercially* available product. FX_composer and Rendermonkey are not artist tools, they are 100% for coders. RTzen is nice, but it's pretty limited (I managed to score a license before they totally went kaput). Had it lasted longer I'm sure more functionality would have been added. Your… -
Re: Xmas time = New 24" monitor!
the 2408wfp is what i have and i do like it. it is quite bright and the default color settings are too intense for graphics work imo but other than that ... picture is good allround and it has loads of connectivity and the pivot function. not sure how other screens are in this regard. it is not one of the fast and shite TN… -
Re: Eye problem
Yeah, you can use the smooth proxy mirror function to achieve that. The thing is though, the state of enlightenment in subdivision modeling is when you don't need to subdivide too much any more, since you 'know' or sense how your topology will look once subdivded. So that's a state worth shooting for, and that only comes… -
Re: 160 megapixel camera
lol, considdering that 6x4 photos are saturated at 4/5million, A4 size at 6/7million, and A3 at 8/10million pixels, i cant see any practical use for that many pixels in a camera. i'll stick with my canon 400D thanks. especially when you conidder, ease of use, functionality, and just generally, the fact i dont wanna carry a… -
Re: displacement maps
Some rendering solutions use grey as a midpoint, some use black as a midpoint. What are you rendering in? Depending on what it is, you might be able to use a math function or output modification to change it. For example, if your renderer does it in, say, 3DS max, then in the materials editor go to the Output rollout fo… -
Re: .fx shader with UV channel selection?
What I'd love to be able to do now is turn some of the lights off... I like to texture in a relatively neutral light environment, and I noticed last night that with the three default lights in the shader, it was really blowing out my diffuse. Man, I haven't done much code since high school... I wish I had a HLSL function… -
Re: Sketchbook: jramauri
I can't look @ jaws without laughing, haha. Really great work dude. It's very inspiring. You've done a really good job at translating that concept of the military chick into a sculpt. Reminds me of a less-feminine version of cammy from street fighter...she looks like she actually has a functioning outfit, lol. Looking… -
Re: Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Demo
It was a fun demo. I am missing the rotate key or is there no rotate camera function??? The gameplay was very standard fare and the graphics, while well done, I wouldn't put that high above Ground Control from five years ago. What I appreciate is that the FMV sequences are back, with a decent cast of actors and actresses…
