Re: 3DS Max light rig?
Light Dome Script http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/lightrigger (lots and lots of lights, some good features) E-light Dome http://home.wanadoo.nl/r.j.o/skyraider/e-light.htm (original) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/e-lights (someone expanded on it) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/e-light-me… -
Re: originality, paintovers et al.
If you're doing it for production work, to portray a simple idea and get a point across - sure I don't see the explicit harm in it. What needs done needs done. If you're tracing/painting over a photograph and then explicitly calling it a "painting"...is it wrong? Oh I don't really know. I think it makes you a bit of an… -
Re: Photo Source
Take a few shots as mentioned above, I like to take a shot of the entire surface using the wide angle optical lense, you can use this for your dirt and grime pattern so you get more randomness, then zoom all the way in with the optical lense, then you can take a detal shot of the surface with no telephoto distortion,… -
Re: 3D Studio Max 7 is here
[ QUOTE ] ok, i noiced the viewport blurriness too, but it can be corrected by turning off mipmap filtering in the map settings. About the "slowness" of paint deformation, i found that the better you control the 0 level subD (or the base mesh) the faster the paint def will go at say subD level 1 or 2. I haven't needed a… -
Re: Idsoftware's MegaTexture tech Marketing Hype ?
there is a demo of the new playstation doing exacly what they are talking about.. its an un tiled texture.. so every pixel on the map is unique and you dont have to worry about areas looking the same. basically it takes a huge texture like 1 or 2 gigs worth of texture data and compresses it..and does some kind of progammer… -
Re: DUDV maps?
Think of it as screen-space displacement. The maps tells the renderer how many pixels to shift the background, red for left/right, green for up/down. It was also used in Doom 3 for stuff like hot gasses that warpedstuff when you look through it. You can simulate it in photoshop using the distort->displace filter. From the… -
Re: getting straight unwrap from pips/cylinders
Mark: You missed the point of what I was saying, of course on a completely unrelated example(minor distortion on an organic object with even texal density) a little distortion is going to be just fine. Baking from a high is excellent in that it covers for minor distortion, I never suggested otherwise. However; if you're… -
Re: [MaxScript] Grab Viewport with alpha channel
yeah man variable size would be great :D ohhh i guess I'm late, I'll try out the new one :) I've never taken a look at the code but this grabViewport does it that way I noticed a couple things i didn't expect in my quick playing with it.* the alpha is only saved if you properly set the image save settings to be 32 bit and… -
Re: Gear Krieg!
[ QUOTE ] I reckon you can do this with 400 tris and it will look IDENTICAL on a DS screen. [/ QUOTE ]Thats still bloody high for a model that has to share the screen with a fair number of others along with presumably some environmental detail. Cut it down to around 100 polys with one 16 colour, 64*64 texture and you'll… -
Re: Lil' Ghost Rider - CC2010 Entry
Your fire has no hard edges. Chunky, splatty looking sprites will probably serve you better. check this out: http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=19040&PHPSESSID=f12a67f1ec4a28926813d62bfe3a2a0e There appears to be some blending within the shapes, but very hard edges on the outside. There are even some hard edges on…
