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…
Well the actual tree bark material is translucent which, I believe is why it's doing that. I needed to set it to translucent so that it "fades" into the scene as I'm taking a clean tree to a burned tree and the only material that will fade is translucent. I tried it with soft masked, but it's more abrupt, although I COULD…
sounds biased, fantasy can be just as crazy do anything as sci fi. It's like saying sci fi is only about spaceships and aliens. I burnt out on series fiction a long time ago, which tend to be the more generic orcs & elves or spaceships and aliens. When you read authors that are confident enough to explore a theme in one…
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…
This sounds like some spoiled child who freaks out whenever he/she doesn't get to do what he/she wants. I don't think this has anything to do with AM, I'm pretty sure that the person would react the same way even if it was an entirely different field. This just sounds totally biased and unprofessional. Companies have…
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…
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…
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.…
Hey guys, im following a tutorial from my professor and im kind stuck. we are using a symmetry modifier and going through box modeling. now, all has gone well till i started to follow along on the head. apparently my line of symmetry is biased more to the left. as you can see below, how can i correct this so when im moving…
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 ,…
