Well, after installing the latest service pack (SP3) and testing in two different scenes i got two quite different results. The problems seams to disappear in the smaller scene (the plane from above screenshot) and with the heavier the visualization problem is a little different but still persists. Like before, the ortho…
Fantastic. Love the colors and everything does what it says on the tin- looks high tech and alieny! The scene as a whole is interesing. Not a great deal I can say about it really constructively, its a very final piece already and you portray your theme perfectly. I am glad you went for a grey overcast background, as it…
...Ok, so I went back to UDK and placed a skeletal mesh I already had and compared it to a static mesh... Same thing happens. The weird thing is that when I open the skeletal mesh in its editor, it looks alright. Sure, the lighting in my scene is different from what's in the editor but, my scene light is just a basic…
Here's an update! Worked on setting up my scene today. Trees and better rocks too. To do list: Finish the rest of the alpha cards so I can place them and get this into a better viewer. Also, redo the ground so the grass and rocks match the rest of the scene. Thanks! I went ahead and worked on these a bit more so the shapes…
I'm trying to add volumetric lighting to this scene that I have made. The tutorial I used (3DS Max essentials - magazine) recommend rendering with every material set to black. This doesn't work in this scene as I need the window glass material to create the special volumetric lights. It works ok when I use my standard…
Ok, thank you guys for all the info, I'll press on with some other assets and continue to fill up the scene for now and I'll post more later tonight, I've added to my list as well because I really want to fill up this scene. I'll go into the barrels more later after I get some other assets built up.
If this was my assignment I would bring this image in as the environment map or on a single plane, then place a camera in roughly the same spot and build the 3D to fit the scene mostly from that view. So instead of eyeballing it and hoping it works I would place my edges to match the scene pixel for pixel, the 3D aspect…
This movie was really damn enjoyable. Action packed and fun to watch. I was half expecting to see Cruise's sudden-wackiness come out in that movie but there weren't any hints of no one being behind the wheel. The insta-face scene is the first thing I've told people about, and the support female agent is beautiful. That…
@adam, yes, you just tell whatever object to not cast shadows in its properties. The first thing i would do in the scene is figure out what kind of lighting you want. Is it in the afternoon and the sun is blasting in, or is it in the evening and you've got all the artificial lights kicked in. Figure out the lighting first,…
Plenty of things changed since I last posted! I've polished the cover and noodled around with the render of a Diamond. I gotta say I'm really liking the way it looks now! :D And I've also gotten a great piece of feedback regarding the scene. I've added some props to compliment the book and to be able to render it standing…
