Are you only using the photon mapping in mentalray or do you have final gather enabled? Mental ray (except of the unbiased iRay) only uses a biased GI, so you need to filter the GI (blend the photons together) to get nice results. For the beginning you could try to only do it using Final Gather. Its a GI calculation too…
OMFG have you ever heard of Dino-Riders? It was my favorite cartoon as a kid and this totally took me back. As a result of being heavily biased in favor of mech + dinosaurs, finding any crits will be a difficult task, but I will try! Head's looking a little too bumpy compared to the rest of the body. It's fine having…
Well this is probably biased since I have played and enjoyed the whole Tomb Raider series, I feel the characters have been getting more realistic in graphics and animation. I do agree that the skintones are not very appealing but I think the reason for the blandness there is so that the character stands out against such…
Roger Ebert is only looking to spark more controversy over the topic so he can be in the spotlight again since 90% of people don't care what he thinks anymore. He can argue all he wants, it's nothing more than an opinion... an opinion that is biased and based in a world of entertainment from 5 decades ago. I bet he…
CGTalk though film biased, IMO was a viable alternative up until a change in management that sadly flat earthed a once vibrant community too bulletin board status, although their 3d Art/WIP sections at least are still a feast for the eyes and an education as well. Could say I'd cut my 'digital teeth' on those boards…
hey guys, is there any UI/UX folk here? I'm wondering if people in those roles look at job descriptions titled UI/UX Designer and UI/UX Artist differently. Basically, we're looking for someone that does them BOTH 50/50 but feel like the descriptor on the end biases the focus one way or the other. Is this a distinction that…
ok i dont want to start a political debate. Just want to know if there are any good non biased news websites that try to focus on the story rather than the shock and mixing facts and deturpation of facts ? right now i check either cnn and foxnews and cross info to see more or less what it is, then i search on msn.com ,…
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the apple commercials really annoying. I mean, they just come off as jerks bashing Windows, and don't tell me actually why I should by a mac. Being a happy Windows user I am certainly biased on the subject, but I think regardless its pretty low of apple to "campaign" in this manner.…
@ cholden: thanks for the crits. I do have a few new pieces in mind, but you have brought a few things to light that my current biased eyes are refusing to see. I'll definitely be doing some more practice sculpts. @ dan!: can you PM me or post specifics? @ two listen: I have no idea who that is, but google showed some guy…
Loved this movie. But I'm a biased fanboy. Totally love that character, so they couldn't have screwed this up no matter what. Plus, my company did the Thor DS game, so there's some extra bias there. Pretty kickass movie though. My only complaint is that it's like three movies crammed into one. I wish they had done like…
