Re: Outdoor lighting
Here is what it looks like so far. A little better than what I had before but still not feeling right yet. I have a skylight with it turned to .5 and a directional light at 1.7 with a slight yellow tint to it, with its shadows on and so far 2 omnis. Feed back is greatly appreciated thanks.. -
Re: Software for generating sky boxes/spheres ?
If a game is not a mobile one and your world is like 3-5 pix /cm texel density you still need a pretty hi res sky, maybe 4196x4196 . it's roughly 16k k x 4k if represented as a spherical projection stripe. Still be blurry on long focus replay cameras but you can hide it with dof kind of. -
The Foundrys MARI tool to project HDR set-captured environment data onto geometry

MaxScriptin'
So I've decided to put down the brush for a few weeks and wrap my head around MaxScript. Knowing a few other polycounters have taken this trip I'm wondering if there isn't some good advice that might help make the trip less bumpy. MoP suggested the DVD's from CG Academy since they came as part of the Dom War prize pack,… -
Re: Autodesk 3dsmax price Europe vs. America
we had the same issue here in Australia (was the same when I was in Germany) price is about twice as much or at least 160% of the us price. Upon asking autodesk about options to buy it via their us website they aborted communication. Lucky we have another studio in the US but I hate their attitude. -
Re: cure for AIDS that was already discovered in the 90's?

Re: E3 2015
@MisterSande you mean Playdead, they are making "Inside", another cool looking chiaroscuro game with a hint of colour on the character this time. Looking forward to seeing more of Mad Max - "Savage Road", I really hope the game play is as good as it looks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUUCXYkfaiM…
