Awesome to see you posting here! And a really cool piece you chose to make. you have come a long way. I like your lighting. I have a couple critics for you. First I agree with what Kurt Russel and blaisoid are saying. Some dirt collecting around the edges of the glass would help. Just subtract this in your emissive map.…
Reducing the file size of a texture is huge. That's less VRAM that has to be loaded on the GPU, and if you're using a streaming engine, that's more room for other textures to stream in at the same time / more quickly. In some cases, having a single 4k texture over (4) 2k textures can actually be worse for streaming since…
In my opinion there is no such thing as "stylized character artists" or "realistic character artists" especially with no experience There should only be "character artist able to deliver great characters no matter what challenge is thrown at him" You've got dudes known for a particular style but usually these guys have 10…

Mental ray aye? Interresting, most(including my own job) uses V-ray.. Althou, they're pretty identical. I can recommend "Essential CG Lighting Techniques" by Darren Brooker:…
15th is fine, but Azteca is garbage. They wouldn't be happy with a large loud group. Azteca is where families go to eat a moderately quiet, Americanized Mexican plate of microwaved food. Azteca is a huge no for me. Any place that is a quiet, family, sit-down restaurant is generally not a good choice for drinking +…
Not sure if you're still shopping about, but I have a suggestion. I just recently picked up a Sharp Aquos LCD for a second display just for gaming mainly out in the living room. The one I'm suggesting in particular is the Sharp Aquos 32" LCD: Model LC-32GP1U. I had spent quite a bit of time researching a bunch of LCD and…
Thanks for the feedback! I have a spot light coming into the interior. It's using lighting channel 2 and all the meshes on the inside are using that same channel. For the outside, I'm using a directional light going into lighting channel 1 and all the meshes out there are linked by using 1 as well. I like the look of shot…
1. Can you post an screenshot showing your material settings? 2. The PBR shaders in Toolbag and Substance are fairly similar but not exactly the same. Some variance is to be expected. However, looking at your render here it appears that the difference is mostly due to the lighting you've set up in Toolbag, rather than any…
I am excited that the first time most of the public hears about "the mod community" it's about something like this: Rockstar: "Ooohh those evil haxors ruined our game" Soccer mom #1: "Did you hear what Rockstar wrote about the hacker 'modders'? Soccer mom #2: "If Rockstar is the evil in the universe and we must destory…
