Re: Xnormal maps rendering too light

Re: Some characters I've been working on lately(image heavy)
Thanks, Will! I have to check but I think the tri count is about 16k and the texture size is 4k. About halfway into texturing I realised that I needed a higher res on his face so I upped the texture size(Which is not ideal!). I should have just sliced up the uv map like I've done with the knight(I have a texture set for… -
Re: Hard drive shortage
So this is it. The reason people will start buying SSD drives is because the other products has become expensive, not because it's better. Human nature is so fickle. EDIT: Just looked up some numbers on the cheap, and bloody hell: A 100GB SSD for around 169$ A 100GB HDD for around 100$ I bought a 1TB external HDD for under… -
Re: AMD Thread Ripper & Marvelous designer?
I've also been thinking about between AMD's Threadripper CPUs and Intel's CPUs. But Intel's next 9th generation i9-9900K 8c/16t and AMD's new Threadripper model 2920x is coming soon, so I'd wait for their benchmarks first... if you can be just a tad more flexible with your 400€ budget (I'm just assuming from the price… -

Re: GPUs. Nvidia's Pascal: GTX 1070 and 1080 and what this mean's for the future.
Honestly, the only time you will notice if a textures is 2k or 4k is when you are either using a 4k monitor and kinda zoomed in, or are really zoomed in to a specific part of a model at 1080p. 4k textures really only make sense for a characters with up close cinematic or terrain. And a lot of times using 1k or 2k with… -

Re: iPhone's out - who's getting one???
Pea (and others) - O2 was the stockist in the UK, but with the previous iPhone you bought the phone (it was reduced to £169 in April prior to the 3G version) and then when you plugged it into iTunes you set up the contract. I know at least half a dozen people who went into O2 and bought a phone, then immediately unlocked… -
maya 2015 read exr texture sequence
Hi I'm reading an exr image sequence (16bit floating point) using standard texture file node in maya 2015. (exr are rendered using maya 2015 hardware render 2.0) I can see the texture in the maya viewport (applied using a standard surface shader to a plane) but I always get this warning: // Warning: Failed to open texture… -
Yet another MP5K!
Hello there! Here is a personal project I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. It's a Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW (Personal Defense Weapon). Like my previous project (Franchi S.P.A.S. 12) this is also a well known weapon both in film and videogames, but this time around its also a very known and proven real life…
