@Monsterr Edited this heavily since I was stupid. Looks like it's baking fine to me - for the parts that have a hi-poly to grab info from. Your missing the hi-poly for the main body and the baker is trying to project some info back from it, since it's hitting nothing or hitting bits and pieces of the hi poly parts, it'll…
From time to time, 3D0 wont properly read the specular info from Photoshop. I can push hotkey 2 in 3D0 and it does indeed show the correct specular info, but when I go back into shaded mode, specularity is completely hosed. It seems to default to some grey value for the entire object. I hope this is on your shortlist to…
The analogy is fine. We're not talking about the ends here, but the means. A crime isn't justified because the victim made the crime so attractive, whether it's theft of information or sexual assault. If the assault analogy is too remote to work, let's go financial. If an insider at a major credit firm had hacked your…
Thanks for the comments chris ;) -I set up the pages all at once, but im still working on the animation stuff, so that should be on the website soon. But iv hidden the page for untill there's something to show. -The Lod's were actually for a ship model... dont know how they ended up in misc. Fixed it. I guess ill have to…
Yes i model the downward extrusions pointing outwards a bit on purpose (even tho it's not like that in the refs) so that when i bake normal maps it catches more depth info. In Blender it's easy to model it like that to begin with since you can model with a line and then fill in the polygons. What you could do instead is…
I did this just recently; it was very simple to make a basic html5 website using notepad++. Most pages are merely 40-60 lines. I found this site to be an excellent resource to check up the syntax of certain things, how to format certain parts etc. I spent more time getting screenshots together and adding name + email, so…
Hello ~ I don't think the goal is too broad, but try not to make the portfolio that way. I think the pieces you have appear confident. The Barkington Palace is great the way it is as well as the Fish Taco shack. Those are nice finished "environment" things. Here are improvement ideas that come to mind: * In my opinion, the…
So you're trying to match a camera to a image? Camera Match in max is your best option but it only works on uncropped images and will never work with hand drawn concept art. You can look it up in the help file and it has some detailed info along with how to use it. I'm sure google has more info on it too.…
Woah, just had a chance to check this post and I can't say thanks enough, really really appreciate the feedback from everyone, there's a whole lot of awesome info. And from different perspectives too which is nice. Immersion in the form of music/film/TV/games etc is a great suggestion and should be enjoyable for sure. I'll…
