Re: Image Organizer Question
Feature I like in xnView that also exists in irfanview I think, is a "send to" functionality... xnView can set up custom apps to send images to, ie alt+2 opens up an image in Photoshop for me. One thing I find annoying in xnView is the lack of an obvious sort when viewing images... would be nice if it matched the sort of… -
Re: [Ue4] Alberta Canada - Realistic lake environment
a mixture of both works best, otherwise at an angle you have no silhouette changes at a distance. I would go with 2 different pebbles/mud/rocks textures blended and then models of small-medium rocks and twigs/roots/dead wood etc scattered over top. once you get the recipe down pat, combine it with an awesome vegetation… -
Re: What do you consider a "cliche" model?
Psh. Alex. Your sluttiness is showing. Like, not even wearing a helmet? Just going for sex appeal with that avvy huh! In all seriousness, everything has been done before. Quality is more important than originality. This: Beats This: Despite the latter being more original. Having creative talent, and coming up with good… -
Re: AO, Lightmaps, and the problem of too many big textures.
I've actually seen tests that indicate that really small low polygon grass models will run faster than standard alpha grass. The problem with alpha is overdraw from the transparency. The problem with the polygon grass is the triangles becoming very small at a distance (the same problem I mentioned earlier) - but you can… -
Re: Two questions re character creation
This should probably be in Tech :) 1) For personal work, I try as much as possible to roll with the 'rough idea - concept as I model' mentality. No real reason except that it's more fun for me to think of things as I go rather than sit down and commit to something before I start modeling. I'm not really good at concepting,… -
Re: SSD's rock so hard
i'm happy with the 840 pro as an OS disk so far. this being my first SSD i'm quite cautios with backups though and have mirrors and images available on standard disks should the worst case happen. thinking of picking up one or two more of those 840's for work/temp files and the laptop since they are quite affordable right… -
Re: PC-CSGO | AK-47 Flynn's Choice aka AK-Tron
Hey thanks for your advice! The stock is almost default for now and I do plan on changing it =) Same applies to the grip (the one near the trigger). It's just that I have many difficulties creating this skin, ebcause my 3D-knowledge is close to zero, but I'm alot into Photoshop. So my .psd is a complete mass, as I… -
Re: WIP - I'm learning character sculpting - some critiques would be really helpful :)
I haven't read Scott Spencer's book, so I don't know what his sculpt looks like or how he teaches, but I like TeriyakiStyle's advice. I think the construction is lacking. For example you currently have the scapula straight yet his arm (humerus) is raised about 50 degrees, so the scapula should be rotated ≈10 degrees (2:1… -
Re: Answered: 1 Pixel Mask
Hi, I should have mentioned I'm right up to date with the very latest. There are a few of us at work using it and i'm the only one having an issue. For further description..I have nothing too fancy going on. its a fairly basic setup so far, got a handful of smart materials generated via mat IDs i'm wanting to go through… -
Re: Sketch A Day.
I really like that piece Twoflower! And when you asked for feedback i got a bit carried away, mainly i though about that small creek and how you could use it to enforce the composition. From the top there's a nice arc going down along the cliff that ends too abruptly for my taste with the sharp creek going almost…
