Well this problem has grown to be quite an annoyance and quite frankly has me stumped. My 3DS 64 bit 2009 doesn't seem to be recognising the .dds filetype at all and has resulted in me having to install 2010 to suit my needs. This isn't exactly the end of the world but I find myself preferring to work in 2009 rather than…
just got into (well, eavesdropped and muscled into, actually) an interesting conversation with a semi-acquaintance in the pub. Out of all the dozens of films you might have grown up with as a kid, and the ones that stuck with you as you got older and still mean a lot to you, and also the ones you saw in later life that…
Hello Polycount! I used to post here under "JoltZero", but I've been going through a lot of changes in my identity, so I created the new name "Joltya" to reflect that. Maybe a bit cheesy, but it felt important to me. I'm starting this thread to post up all of the major stuff I have been working on, and will continue to…
Hey there @Cody - I'd like to get into this kind of keyboards for a secondary unit but the market is flooded with options - to a point where it is starting to feel similar to audiophile gear. I would need to find a near-full layout (as I do need the right edge of the right ctrl key to be aligned with the right edge of…
I agree that starting with DAZ or similar might be the way to go. I thought about recommending that in my earlier post but for one you'll not get up to Blur standards with it - some of that is linked in your reference after all - asset quality is all over the place from what I've seen, probably requiring you to contract…
Almost Done!!!!! Main Shot^- I uv'd and applied all the materials to my objects. I FINALLY got a acceptable mesh for the Knight statue with the uv's and retopo.(Thank god for zbrush's uv master.) I also decided to add some variation on in the grass height. All I have left to add to the scene is to create an interesting…
The roof really is too steep for that sort of tile. I'd either change to a more Mediterranean design or switch to a more traditional roof - thatch or shingles. Some rocks in the river and accompanying turbulence would add some visual interest. Some parts of the terrain are extremely pixilated; this is most noticeable on…
right now overall it seems like the edges of the rock are too uniform, and could benefit from some variation. each face seems to come to a thin edge, that edge can be broken up into smaller flat faces. and as it is right now, each face is pretty flat. id experiment around by taking a buildup brush and just going nuts ontop…
Thanks for all the comments guys. If you need a good unwrapper that also comes with an awesome stretch shader, check out Roadkill Pro - I use it all the time at work and can't imagine using something else :D It doesn't physically overwrite the default editor but yea, it will replace it. The original will always be located…
I know this is a huge bump and that's generally frowned upon. But! I couldn't let this thread die without giving an update and saying a huge thanks to you guys. The amount of well considered replies with amazing examples really shows how much this place rocks. So basically after a few months of further planning, speaking…
