@GraphicArtsAttitude I work in both, at the moment I'm quite invested in "static" skyboxes. In the coming months I'll be going more into volumetric realtime skyboxes @Jack M. thank you so much :3 @codyaq2 Thanks :3 @cjwidd I was shown some good ways of texturing the landscape using macros and a more refined way of editing…
Thanks for the input, i've removed the bolts from the beams and adjusted the lighting slightly. Congrats on the new gig Cody. I was thinking either making it a underwater chamber, or space environment, so expect some scuba gear or something else as props. The idea comes from a quick sketch i did but nothing original…
I don't think anyone is taking it this far. We reap the benefits of capitalism on daily basis but we are not so objective when it comes to recognizing people who have becomes successful on that very system. He made his fortune on a few excellent ideas. You have to remember, he's not a banker or a lawyer or a politician. At…
Thank you guys. I put extra care into the little details so I hope you guys can pick them out if you look carefully :) Walrus, good suggestion, I am going to smooth that out the final images. Thanks for pointing it out. For people who have been asking about the film grain, it is a default realtime screen post process that…
I think it would take a fundamental shift in how 3d programs handle rotation to rid this issue. Considering top minds across multiple fields have come up with the current solution, I really don't see it changing any time soon. Even though rotation is a core manipulator type, it's not really 'broken' enough to fix. Like you…
Why do folks say its not supposed to be done if they dont know how to do it :/ ... For diffuse there is a node called. 'Vertex Colour' in the maps list. You can create it like any other bitmap. If you create composite map first and add your texture to it, create a new layer and put the vertex colour in it with its blend…
9 out of 10 of all the kids I knew in High School who smoked a lot of weed, (Like it was part of they're Identity type smokers) ended up trying some other harder drug. Usually Acid, but up to Coke and Heroin. Weed in of itself, I don' t know if it is a good or bad thing, but the Culture that comes with it, leads to other…
Thanks Cody :) Had some more people poking me about the lights so fixed 'em up a bit. Lifted the cockpit up a bit at the back and pushed it down at the front to give the pilot a better field of vision. Gonna have to leave the ship for a bit now. Need to get the spheremap working for our game so I'll be quite busy with it…
Some awesome things in here. A lot that I have forgotten but man they easily come back with you guys mentioning them. The Smurf cereal was the bomb. So some more from my list. * Burger Time (intellivision - played it with my nana growing up.) * Cherry Vanilla Coke * My wifes pre-pregnancy body lol. Oh she would kill me and…
Sadly the 'backface cull' option didn't change a thing, but the xray mode is quite decent, thanks! @Vig: select by view is certainly interesting, but a bit too random for my use. yet i'll keep playing around with it. I was secretly hoping someone might come up with some sort of raytracing-max script, which could tell which…
