Re: xNormal instead of Max's render-to-texture?
Being an avid user of Xnormal I have found that almost 95 percent of the time the simple offset ray projection works for most objects. Since I create mostly characters, some of the problem areas tend to be the armpits, and inner legs when using the offset. In these cases one of the more awesome features Xnormal has is you… -
Re: Deviantcount
i really dont think that anyone using deviantart for getting crits etc actually. its more like showing your progress , all arts got its own pro forums around for crits&improvement. i really dont care if %95 of that site is full of crap as long as the other %5 is soo inspiring&awesome. i'm not a fan of devart or whatever ,… -
Re: do you need a degree to become a game artist?
I have to disagree. If you search for most job positions about 95% of them DO require you to have a degree, especially if you want to work in the digital world. A degree in anything no matter how simple it is, will always up your stature among your peers. Now on the other hand if you are doing life drawing/ fine arts- then… -
Re: Hug your kid at home, but belt them in the car. The automobile thread!
You'd be amazed at how much storage space there actually is in a 'vette, especially the hardtops. Even with the 'stowage area divider' I put in my '01 'vert to protect the retracted roof from trunk items, I can still haul quite a bit. I know the newer interiors are more spacious, and even with our '86 'vette we've hauled… -
Re: Is anyone here running an ATI/AMD gamer card?
got 5870, and since ATI is well known for not ensuring quality with their drivers, it's recently started kicking up a fuss. Drivers stop responding and the like, pretty bad when you're working with a 3D software, because when the driver stops responding 95% of the time the entire program crashes, at least that's what I'm… -
Re: [UE4] Assembly Line
It's certainly outdated by now, but I would say it's still useful. The biggest takeaways are just being able to make an UDK/Unreal4 scene from scratch going from Modo -> Photoshop ->Unreal and back and forth. His vertex master shader using only 1 texture for pretty much 95% of the entire scene was also solid. Biggest… -
Re: 3dsMax UV-Islands to Smoothing Groups Script.
Why do you need seperate smoothing groups? I think most UV to smoothing groups scripts will use the same method as both of those scripts or newer scripts swill select uv edge boundaries and make them hard edges. Neither will help you. Another issue is that there are only 32 smoothing groups. I think you'll run out quickly.… -
Re: Is Buying Black Ops supporting the Evil Empire?
I was just trying to bring up the point that since 95% of people just sit idly by when these kind of business practices happen then why would you question buying a game that dosnt even come close to the horrible practices that are inflicted on third world country workers. If you are going to buy one and then question… -
Re: Looking to start a small business-Advice Needed
Max + Corona renderer. With Max going monthly sub and Corona at a far more reasonable price than Vray, you can get started pretty cheaply. At least compared to a few years ago. Plus the Vray to Corona converter script gets you almost 95% there with just a simple convert. Vray used to be the way to go, but it has some… -
Re: London Polycount Meetups!
neither Peckham or Hackney or Dalston are considered miles out. for london people they are considered in the middle. however it appears your prayers have been answered as there is a 'loading bar' on stokenewington rd, which is up the top end of dalston. 97 Stoke Newington Rd, Stoke Newington, London N16 8BX no idea what…
