Re: Problem with Mari Displacements
I assume you are using Arnold? Mari just spits out a texture map, so what you see is what you get. It looks like texture filtering or a low resolution texture map that are giving you this error. You will have to verify inside Mari. Make sure you working in 16bit as well. Personally, displacement maps are overkill for this… -
Re: Going from Max to Maya, the Unwrapping Edition
Take a look at this, it helped me understand some quirks with maya unwrap. https://vimeo.com/16590844 -
Re: Texture Atlases
Another issue with mixing RGB and RGBA is that some compression formats sacrifice RGB quality to add the A channel. An RGBA texture will look worse than an RGB texture using PVRTC. Previous thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/161034/ios-pvrtc-compression-terribly-for-rgba -
Re: The future of asset creation for games
I am not sure how much this will actually help you though I recommend looking at all the features Pixologic is implementing in zbrush... http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?164835-FiberMesh-Preview -
Re: LeeM Uni assignments + personal work
So I'm back with another update, I made the suggestions by AGoodFella and pressed forward with getting the axe to rotate when it's in contact with the ground, I also played around with feet contacts. https://syncsketch.com/sketch/142760#167270 -

I'm beginning to think the 960 GPU isn't compatible with a true 4k monitor). Even so though the arms and the other leg… -
Re: Time for a new LCD/LED Screen
I have the Dell E-IPS monitors at home and at work. The 22 inch (1680x1050) at home and the 24 inch (1920x1200) at work. They're great as EQ said. Great colour.

Re: [Solved] Baking in 4K freezes ToolBag
Left it running for around an hour and a half today and it's still frozen :/ Edit: Super quick update, lowered the samples from 16x to 4x and was able to bake in 4k without issue. Since I'm doing this on a laptop I'm getting a feeling this could possibly be hardware related since my HP is incredibly dense but I'm honestly… -
Re: Jet Cockpit (2D Ui)
Yea that's why i was asking what it was for. I didnt see any place for health or weapons or any kind of game play info. The whole thing just looks kinda generic to me. There are some cool things you could do with those radar screens (instead of those old school looking radars). Using references will go a long way.… -
