Re: Material White Dot Artifacts
I've gotten this a lot with my material using my textures set to 'UI' in the LOD group, as well as 'Uncompressed Normals' for my normal maps. Rebuilding the lighting fixed it though. The white dots only show up in my material editor and the scene when lighting isn't built. This might be a dumb question, but is the lighting… -
Re: Next generation to arrive in 2012
Here's an idea. Couldn't sony just 'upgrade' the PS3? A partial rebuild upgrade, take the ram to 1gb vram + 1gm ram from the 256 each it is now. Leave the CPU, motherboard, and anything else that doesn't need changing. It might be cheaper than an entirely new console, and 4x the ram for a low price could be a decent… -
Re: Maya Renders 'Washed Out'....
i agree with Trecharous. assign everything with the default lambert material, delete all other materials and shading groups, re-enable the default lighting and see what you get. before you do that though, go ahead into hypershade, select the material you are using for the glowing orbs, and go to File>Select objects with… -
Re: is Photogrammetry the 'big thing' we should all be learning?
I would say it's more suitable for digital human/digital double creation. The funny thing is, I've seen plenty of hand-built rocks, for instance, that actually look better than their real-world counterparts that have been built using photogrammetry. A case of art imitating life imitating art.... Another interesting… -
Re: Starcraft II
I tried playing in the 1v1 league but it feels very stressful to me :( I always feel hesitant about clicking the search button for 1v1! I have been playing team games (even with randoms!) and some FFA, those are less stressful. Actually FFA is pretty crazy, you can make the most unbelievable comebacks :p There were a few… -
Re: Getting back into modeling
As promissed, Here are the pictures of the first draft of the plasma gun Here's the first block in I did. I decided to leave the plasma flask at the bottom of the model until I get to a higher polycount with my model I had to go back and make sure I didn't make the beginner mistake of extruding over a previous extrusion:… -
Re: turn 3dmodel into equivalent triangles
Wait, what you want is a sphere with equilateral triangles? Then, if you're using max, your best bet would be to go with a geosphere prim, which looks like this right off the bat: If you then deform it, then yeah, will need some sort of remesher that rebuilds it out of equilateral triangles. There may be something like it… -
Re: Help!! Animation importing problems
Wat. Deleting the history and freezing the tranformations is probably what solved the issue. I opened the scene and noticed the mesh group was tied together in a group and the group had a 0.85 scale where the individual assets were at 1. That alone can mess with the scene. I wasnt able to pin-point, but what I did do was… -
Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
I saw many complains about «why my texture looks wrong in cryengine», «why my texture become so noisy», «why crytiff compression is so horrible» etc. 5 seconds??? Their plugin is very slow (mostly because of rebuilds/preview). Most of time i`m working with 2-4k textures and i got so many crashes. And i`m not the only one… -
Re: The Monthly 'Noob' Character Challenge (01/14)
@Sonicblue: Nice start, also the head references seem solid. @stevston89: Really dig the cloth folds you got, looks great on the character. @naturon: Love the face, that nose is spot on. Personally I've been trying to wrap my brain around Zbrush the last day (controls be confusing as ever to nail down). So this is what is…
