Re: Reduction Topology, Triangle Question
Basically if you have overlapping triangles at a pixel (technically a 2x2pixel area) the renderer has to consider all of them, which means it has to process that bit of the screen repeatedly It's not worth worrying about if the number of pixels involved is small or if preventing it means extra work, sacrificing modularity… -
Re: Klaus Trailer- 2d Animation Technique??
I actually think the lighting is painted by hand. This may sound funny but that quality of realism isn't something I think computers are capable of yet. Whenever you see realistic skin in a game or movie, it always looks like a plastic doll or a very matte like play dough. But with Klaus, every frame is consistent in… -
Re: AK-47
It's much better, just some tweaks left. :) The rear sight is mostly correct - for the "lever in the middle when locked down" position, the flat area should be more or less horizontal; Example: The rear sight leaf is a bit different, in reality, but you can't see the area that's wrong in first person, so you could leave… -
paste a file path in maya always adds prefix of file:///, which has to be deleted
working in windows 10 and maya 2022/2023 This is probably a stupid question but it is something that bugs me endlessly and I have not found an answer. If I copy a file from windows explorer and paste into maya, for example a filepath for a texture to use in a material, this bit is always added: file:/// for example… -
the VG REMIX
Sketchfab & Polycount are teaming up for a brand new, lowpoly contest: the VG REMIX! The VG REMIX will be a 3-week long contest where artists will create lowpoly dioramas of a scenario or setting from one their favourite videogames. These depictions do not need to be in the same style as found in the game they come from -… -
Re: Fantasy Themed Dice Render (Looking for critique)
This is looking nice so far! I think it's lacking a bit in lighting and composition. You could add some drama with backlighting from the sun, which would really show off those colored caustics. A little DOF would be nice too. Also the boardgame edge is perfectly straight and even, as is the paper under it. Real world items… -
Difference between "$" and "$selection"
I tried Google but it's hard to google "$" - So i wasn't successful. :) I#M using 3Ds Max 2011 64Bit I always thought $ and $selection give you the same result: the current selection. BUT If you have e.g. a box linked to another box, select the blue one and execute the code below, you'll get different results: Code with $… -
Making good mipmaps?
Anyone know of a tutorial, for example of recommended settings in the nvidia dds photoshop plugin, especially for textures using an alpha channel. Or maybe someone can give me some pro tips here ;) I'm mostly doing environmental textures, plants, trees. I've so far always used the default (triangle) mipmap filter. I guess… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (95)
It actually depends on what your target is. This concept art is from a videogame, and given the size of the object it would never require that many texture sets, even if it was a hero prop game asset. If it was for a vfx it might be acceptable for very high detailed closeups. As a game prop I would imagine the lead to ask… -
