Re: Rumour: Autodesk apparently killing Softimage!
From some source I know that some bi-frost mechanics will be applied to both Maya and Max, but Max will be finally cancelled sooner or later. Unlike other softs it won't be just tossed away. It's gonna be replaced with something new. And here comes project excalibur. It's still rumor, but it has some sense. I guess that… -
Re: first texture project - rifle
lol character texturing is certainly not easier. On something like this you can get away with some photo sourcing. On a character, to do it right you need to paint a lot. Not to mention the uvs on a character will kick you in the bum if you had trouble with this. If you are trying to learn then you really need to stick to… -
Re: Fatty Fish Trooper
You have some really soft lighting on the cloth/metal and some overblown highlights and shadows on the flesh which i think is kind of backwords and looks pretty bad, your lighting on the flesh is really bothering my like there is no light source at all just that you've painting some highlights and then surounded those… -
Re: Unreal: Opacity influenced by object intersections (Bioshock waterfall example)
Thanks for the reply, but that's not the effect I was referring to. I'm familiar with handling smooth/soft transitions between intersecting translucent planes using the depthbiased node. If you watch the video, the effect I'm after is where he intersects the water plane and everything below the points where his geometry… -
Re: approach to techy stuff
not sure if this helps you are probably way beyond this but they way ive found to do env stuff (lots of 90 degree angles and cylinders) is to have an 85 degree shading button (maya) which i keep hitting, first i pull out any edgeloops that i can to get rid of as many 90 degrees as i can, hit button see what is left sharpe,… -
Re: modeling hi poly weapons is painful, any tips?
[ QUOTE ] [StrangeFate] Rounded edges are way more expensive than with SubD (or meshsmooth and Co.) but you save yourself some thinking trouble when cutting into rounded surfaces and you almost don't have to bother about any topology at all. [/ QUOTE ] I'd like to hear more about how you guys deal with cutting details into… -
Re: Who plays guitar?
I ended up with a Gibson Squire? (I think it's a gibson) My friend gave it to me. He messed around with trying to scallop out the fret boards... and gave up. So he moved on to a few other guitars. Although, I think there may be something wrong with the guitar? Or it might be my amp. It doesn't seem like it picks up the… -
Re: Normal maps and smoothing group woes
Hey guys, Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and made up another, more clear, example. I am basically aiming for smooth, soft corners look in this example. It works at some places and fails miserably in others - and I still don't understand the logic behind it :poly122: I modeled this in Max, took it to ZBrush and slapped… -
Re: Ottergirl Character
The reason you're not progressing is most likely lack of anatomical knowledge. Everything is very soft right now and there's no form, its just smooth. If you look back the form was better at the top of the page, and it's slowly been getting more and more mushy. The only areas that reveal any surface contour are the boobs,… -
Re: King Kong
spoils... Kong was fun. Any notice the soft music playing during the bug scene. Made me feel even more uneasy. God I hate those tube worms. Worst death ever. I really didnt like how dumb everyone was acting during the dino chase scene. running along side danger, at 50 mph for 3 miles it seamed, yet the group never "REALLY"…
