Re: super quick zbrush ?...poop!?!?!?!?!?
We've used Zmapper and Max's normal map rendering workflows extensively here. Unless someone here has found some magic settings for Zmapper here, the seams it creates are unavoidable. Everywhere your UV's aren't welded, Zmapper creates a seam in your normal map. Period. Max8 does not have this problem. I get perfectly… -
Re: Mass Effect
it seems that my membership to gamespot has no value. i'm tracking mass effect, but not getting any updates. darn. well thanks for sharing the vids! one thing i'm worried about [after seeing the PAX vid] is the framerate. maybe its my browser, but did i see some frames being skipped? ahh well. it'll still be awesomesauce.… -
Re: Ryan James Smith | Student Reel 2009
some decent work man, but for the love of god get rid of the particle style name intro, nothing screams student more than using jazzy fx.....keep it clean and simple. the cross over mask thing in the 1st environment was kinda distracting/annoying too so maybe just either fade between them during the camera move or lose it… -
Re: Building a P4 machine
a nice athlon64 3200 is pretty much today's average computer, and those a64 3800 x2's are doing well too or if you're feeling like a cheapy, get a socket 754 mobo and a sempron 2600 and overclock that sucker to 2ghz for performance pretty equal to that of an athlon64 3200, but with alot less price. 128kb l2 cache isn't… -
Re: Dream Fusion 3D models. Is the end close for 3D artists?
"Few years from now they won't be something new and surely will be much more accurate and user friendly... for any user." 25 years ago I had the same hope for usual non-AI tools for content creation: textures , models, FX , etc. it all looked like just around a corner. 25 years later it all is still mad scientists creation… -
Re: The Tumbler
ok, new images: I havn't done as much as i'd hoped in this recent update, however i have added more signs in the center area, and also added some pipes (still needs more though) I've also created an FX material that sharpens the mid-ground of the image used in the post process chain. playing through it it's looking pretty… -
Re: Creating ground dust/sand
You should be able to adapt this to make good dust fx. Beware though, the noise controls in Gradient Ramp are not very robust, it may end up looking very procedural. If that happens, you could instead use a Composite map and layer a better noise pattern on top of your radial gradient. Look here for some better third-party… -
Re: New Ultima game on Kickstarter
I was working freelance at Portalarium, where my wife works, on this kickstarter prototype. They called me up and asked me to come in to do some lighting and FX. Really great atmosphere at the company, lots of posters from Origin, Ultima. Richard Garriott is really great to chat with.… -
Re: Maya 2016 EXT 2: a pretty dam huge update.
You forgot MASH,which is probably the best new thing that happened to Maya in the last 5 years imho ! https://vimeo.com/163408494 This tool will make simple objects like chains almost easier to make than a beveled cube,and you can push it to the next limits by using it to scatter objects across a scene,or have super… -
Re: My work *DELETED*
Lots of people usually have a hand in level work, before tooting your own horn, could you be more specific about what exactly you did in Mustafar? Did you do models, textures, lighting, FX, animation, scripting, etc, for the entire level...? Your more likely to get kudos from people when they know what you actually did.…
