Re: Can anybody give me advice on a high end digital camera?
Avoid these "SLR Sized" point and shoot cameras like the plague. They are expensive, just as big and heavy as a dSLR, but everything about them is totally inferior, the features you get out of a $400 fake-slr are little better than a $150 compact point and shoot camera. You get a super tiny sensor, which is terrible for… -
Re: DarkSectology

Sorry, you can't turn it off :/ I plan on getting rid of it and redoing the menu sometime.

Re: Warhammer style Orc
I had worked on the base orc at work, so I've been able to have some time spent trying to work with making skin that is green. I hope I can help share some of the problems that I came across that also show up on your skin. First off, your metals are all great. They really pull off the grunged up metal that they'd be using.… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
I've been around max and maya since I started college back in 2000. This didn't even come as a remote shock to me.

With the additions of next gen… -

Re: Dhalsim ZBrush Bust Sketch

Re: Maya AO maps
Heh this thread came up when I did a Google search for a Maya 2008 transfer maps issue I've been having - not AO, but just normals, and I think it might be the same issue that Daz is having. Basically from what Daz has posted, it looks to me like the baked texture is taking information from the target meshes (the lowpolys)… -

My impressions about GOW: If I say this is the best looking game, I would lie. This is the most f...... stuning game ever. I just like everything about gow.

Re: Normal Map Export Issue
It's a simple logic . Normal map represents a pixel normal , a vector (direction) each pixel is facing in comparison to vertex normals (tangent one). So if you see it wrong there is only a few possibilities: a. the direction is wrongly recorded to the texture . Green inverted maybe or color representing standard is wrong… -
