Re: WW's stuff: I feel like something is wrong with this somewhere.
Yeah I think you're right in pointing out the sign as a problem area. Thought I think it is more an issue of light and rendering just coming together most noticeably in that area. So the light needs to be consistent, you've got a gradient on the sign but not on the lettering. The shadows from the hand are very soft but you… -
Re: Normal Map seams in 3ds Max
This is the same thing as flipping the green channel, it just automates it, so I don't think it will solve your problem. I would recommend previewing stuff in Marmoset, it is the easiest and clearest way to look at props, and it is a game engine, so you can preview what your stuff will look like in an engine. If it looks… -
Re: Mystique
You know, I'm unsure that her diffuse issues can be made to work while remaining faithful to the original (albeit with your egyptian stylising on top) like you've tried to do.... because the original, the movie version certainly, well it didnt really work either :) I remember seeing the hipoly model before and it was… -
Re: stylized female
TNO, you have to learn to take criticism better. Whether someone explains why they think something is creepy, or just says something looks "creepy", it's still their thoughts about that image or 3D model. They are taking the time to tell you it doesn't look right, and you gaining that knowledge (that people think it's… -

Re: makin' moves
Slayerman's just goofing around. But another angle IMO is you do have to put your foot down sometimes and use the power you have. Sometimes a person you're managing has very strong opinions about the direction they should be going in, and try as you might you cannot convince them your way is better. But you generally have… -
Re: Tips to Improving as a 3D Game Artist
have something play in the background. helps you focus, and forget about all the other shit. also, don't eat a huge meal with meat and lots of fat just before you start working, it'll fuck you up, and make you incredibly drowzy. don't eat chocolate. same effect. don't drink soda, it'll really really fuck you up and make… -
Re: [Demo Reel] Sean McSheehan, Animator
Overall, looks like a lot of good stuff! I also agree about axing the lip sync and the walk cycle. Definitely weaker pieces. My general advice for your animations are... I think everything needs to be pushed more. I found that with most of the animations, they all seemed a little too soft. I don't think the problem is that… -
Re: what's the best normal shader to use in maya?
Bump depth has nothing to do with it. As I said, Maya's software renderer does not properly deal with normal maps, and treats them as greyscale bump maps. Monkey : I saw your other thread about presenting your work as "game ready". Honestly, as long as you're not adding tons of things like soft shadows etc in your Mental… -
Re: Keen's Progress
After posture was better... well, didn't look he was going to fall over, anwyays. I'm not sure whats going on with the eyes... at first I thought the pupil was transparent, but upon closer inspection that doesn't seem to be the case. Is the yellow part photo-refed? I don't think you're nearly ready to call this one done…
