Re: Portfolio need some C&C
Hello guys, First of all Happy new year to every one. @Stavaas Yes indeed, I did removed all the stains of the first scene, and I removed some more in the second scene. I will try to improve some other stuff like you said on this scene, cause there is a lack of detail. @Dweenietodd Thanks for the kind word and the follow… -
Re: how high is too high of polycount
UPDATE I added a displacement map to the mental ray architectural materials, and it was still coming up messed up. But then I realized I was forgetting to "soften edges", and once I did that, I got the results below. I am happy with this actually, considering I have not even touched any lighting settings or sampling… -
Re: Vray or Mental ray, for photo realistic characters
Some of the best renders for photorealistic characters that I've seen have come from Vray. I haven't used MR in a while so I don't know how things have changed, but I remember hating their skin shader. With Vray I've seen people do some really interesting and complex layered material setups. One major thing to note is that… -
Re: What to do with old buildings?
Vig thank you so much for that link. I lost it years ago. I LOVE that site. I've had a fascination with abandoned buildings and vehicles for a long time. It began when our car broke down on a family trip and I found an old abandoned school bus down the road in the trees. I went inside and found all kinds of interesting… -
Re: Building a P4 machine
Socket 754 sucks unless you're going with a budget system. The biggest gripe with it is you can't utilize dual channel memory. The memory on a graphics card determines how high the resolution on the textures will be. For most new games, I'd say go with 256mb at least, but 128 will do if that's the best deal you can find.… -

Texturing Complex Designs Over Tiles?
Looking at the Assassins Creed Unity art, there is a floor piece by Vicent Derozier which captured my attention: https://vincentderozier.artstation.com/portfolio/here-are-all-the-modules-i-have-done-for-the-fencing-room-in-the-cafe-theater-i-was-here-responsable-of-the-assets-modularity-and-visuals… -
"New from Polypaint" texture option freezing Zbrush 4r4 (Mac)
Hey guys, Trying to work through the XNormal workflow, which means I want a .OBJ with a real basic polypaint applied on UV tiles. When I try to apply the Polypaint, however, Zbrush freezes and I get the spinning beachball cursor of doom. My highest sub level is 1.4 million, but I've had the same results with the… -
Retoping for mobile
Hi, I don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but there is probably no specific forum for my problem. Its like this: I am just retoping a mobile game avatar I have made with Sculptris. You know, the Unity Documentary recommends for a mobile game avatar something between 300 to 1500 polys per mesh, and I… -
Re: Lighting help ( Mentalray )
This article is a bit wrong. First, for a correct linear workflow, you have to degamma your diffuse textures, else by setting input at 2.2 in the gamma/lut or setting them individually. Else indeed, your diffuse textures get gamma corrected twice to 4.4 hence they're all washed out. And If you use a color from color…
