Re: Houdini HDA breaks FBXs normals into Unreal Engine
you need simpler examples to diagnose this. like a plane with some simple primitives baked into your normals -
Re: What can I do to improve my portfolio?
Your materials still need a lot of work. In the dirt & debris example, there is no lighting yet your texture has dark shadows. Likely because you took a photo of the ground when the sun was still out. In a PBR workflow, your albedo cannot contain any directional light, because it needs to be rendered in every type of… -
Re: ANSWERED: Custom texturing in Quixel
My crashes were resulting in the DDO maps menu and 3DO going away, just the psds remained. Im getting tons of errors and weird things happening unfortunately. I will have to save a file every few minutes if i do a project, however it really started happening after i enable GPU rendering on my laptop in Photoshop and for… -
Re: Batman shooting........so stupid
There actually is a Penn & Teller episode on gun control, probably also a bit sensationalist so to say, since well it's a tv-show, but they do show the other side of gun control. It's not the guns, it's the people. A sad example of this, is that these things do happen in other country's. Take Belgium where I live for… -

Re: My take on Bioshock. High Poly sculpt
Hey there, overall it looks nice. The first thing I notice, is that the water shader (I know that probably didn't even bothered with that since that is not your focus, at least sometimes that happens to me eheh) is a bit off from the environment. The water looks really realistic and crisp and the environment looks a little… -
Re: Vray or Mental ray, for photo realistic characters
Vray > Mental ray Vray is what most studios are moving to. Mental ray is old and inefficient. Stuff like depth of field and sss will render faster and better in vray. Vray's lights are easier to control IMO. If you are trying to simulate a real environment you control the light temp with a degree of Kelvin, not a color in… -
Re: high frequency normal maps
I don't know what the book covers. However, there has been quite a lot of new applications dealing with normal map popping up in recent years, so my bet is that the book is indeed outdated although still applicable. As far as I know, today there are a couple ways to create normal maps. Painting per channel as you mentioned… -
Re: Interview advice
Remember most employers will expect at least some delay since one usually needs to give notice to their current job. For example, I'd have to give a months notice before I could even finish my current position. Also, if you're relocating, that could easily take another month. Having said that, I'm not sure if it may depend…
