First, some thoughts. I'm rebuilding my website, and I'm trying to make it as painless to update as possible. I've realised that in the past I've hand written loads of PHP, or got others to do it for me. The current site has been dormant for 1 year due to the coder not finishing the output code. With the emergence of the…
Thanks for that Eric, directed me to a very useful code snippet (it renders each face to a buffer and if theres something already rendered it flags it as overlapped). I've known about this method but never had the time or inclination to code it :) test output for my above example 100 by 50 buffer, the uvunwrap modifier…
So i'm finally going to buy a new computer. I'm not so good on computers when it comes to the hardware so i would like some advice on what's good and necessary when it comes to brands and performance. I'm going to use it for 3d and gaming. Software's i use are 3dsmax, photoshop, mudbox, zbrush and i also plan on using udk…
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script…
Very easy with Arnold just use an aiUtility node with these settings... shade mode = flat color mode = normal You can also set up an AOV to render it out at the same time as the beauty pass etc. google will explain the technical bits
X2 5000+ = AM2 or AM2+ mobo If AM2, best bet is 6000+ at $55, but may be a marginal upgrade http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103772 If AM2+, could go with X3(tripple core) 8750 for $75, which may make a big difference in max/photoshop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103295…
^Agree. Congrats on something I've never seen, pretty neat i can see alternatives having a stronger potential, after this one has paved the way for them. AFAIK. Edit: to add more i think a junkyard scene background with a dim lighting of your choosing might've gone a longer way with presentation, your choice. With what…
[ QUOTE ] Why do people have to get their panties in a twist about something as simple as internet browsers? Honestly. [/ QUOTE ] Well SouL, mainly because when I use entirely legitimate and valid code in a website in order to make it do what I want it to do, I'd like to be safe in the knowledge that anyone browsing my…
Their site redesign when moving from the old black-red naughties-style forums with the gallery on top to some barren shades-of-gray tablet-optimized thing (or whatever that was meant to be) with huge header images and microscopic text in the second half of the 2010's was awful to use for the longest time. Wouldn't be…
- The quickest way to make sure normals are pointing the right way is to turn "Face Orientation" on in the Geometry > Show Overlays menu of the viewport in Blender. It'll highlight anything flipped in red. I'm under the impression the original tires have flipped normals, so when you flip the mirrored tires to match them…
