Re: Sculpting Wood
yeah did that. thought it might work because i realized i missed that from the tutorial, but apparently it gives the same result. im wondering, is there any way to adjust the freehand stroke to draw more alphas per stroke.. if that makes any sense..like, if i drag slowly, it will draw an alpha every (approximating) 30-50… -
Re: VA might pay for Gnomon. And I have questions for Gnomon students.
CLP = Clip Paint Studio? Not a concern, just to clarify. I don't have experience with Gnomon, but I would recommend doing some searches like "gnomon workload" "gnomon daily schedule" etc. https://www.google.com/search?q=gnomon+workload Also, what do you ultimately want from the instruction? A job in visual fx? Or a job in… -
Re: Brick Apartment Building [wip]
If you have a split in your uvw, you have to reflect that in your model (and vice versa), which consequently should affect your projection cage. If you have create split in your mesh, the cage should be seperate in those parts. In max, giving surfaces smoothing groups doesnt create the actual split physically. You have to… -
Re: Black Outline render in 3dsmax
This is a case where rendering with mental ray brings some advantage, ( in scanline the following method does'nt work ) * create a composite material make the base layer your base material, Make the first layered material you wireframe material, you can even layer more materials this way, but of course the wire mat should… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
Texture resolution is a real problem for me. Seems to impact characters the most. And what's odd is that the casual outfits seems to be lower rez than the combat ones. Which makes no sense to me since you see those upclose so much, and in parts of the game where there's no action, so there are no crazy particles or alpha… -
Re: spaceship for a game need feedback
Unity has a built-in shader that'll help you plan this out. If you want to use the same UVs for the main texture and the detail texture, try the Detail Diffuse shader for your material. The best was would be to use 2 UV sets like St4lis said. If you've got strumpy, this is easy. Go into the pixel graph, and grab 2… -
Re: How to ? Directional lightmaps with 3dsMax/Vray
I would say you should try adding normal map and specular map info into the screen buffer in a separate pass, like this: Pass1. render the object with diffuse and lightmap. Pass2. render normal map and specular highlights(using actual light positions, or perhaps prebaked per lightmap pixel light normals) Pass3. render… -
Re: lasgun wip
Good read about materials that someone linked me to recently. http://www.manufato.com/?p=902 another good one, Even if your not in marmoset, That goes over what Diff, Normals, Spec, and Gloss do and how to manipulate them. http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/materials Essentially: Diffuse is color information (like you've… -
Re: MMO RTS Novus Aeterno Sci-Fi Environments
So far your assets are pixel sex and amazing! but the scene gets very busy very fast, and is also really dark. the little emissive parts of the assets get very busy in the scene, and are the points of highest contrast. my eye doesn't know where to land, or where you are trying to lead the player in this space. i'd also… -
Re: Underground Sewers Control Environment (UDK)
Sry to sound like a broken record, but yeah, textures are way too busy, especially the bump in your normal maps. They need to be softened up a bit, to be not so noisy. If you do want to keep the normals on all surfaces like that, try practicing with overlaying some of your super noisy normal map and "running it through 1…
