Re: Unity 5 PBR why use metallic texture?
This tutorial explains the differences in detail, and how to convert between metalness and spec maps: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-conversion General pbr: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-practice In short, spec maps are more flexible, but with the added flexibility comes a lot of freedom to make very… -
Re: StarCraft corridor for short film
Bevels are important because that's how in real life objects get their hightlights. The quality of a bevel tells the viewer if the materials has sharp edges, if it's smooth. If you are doing high poly modeling or any kind of modeling and you want a model to get a highlight in a certain area, to get the model to react… -
Re: M4A1 Carbine W.I.P
Thanks for everyones comments and crits they are all welcomed and taken somewhat serious. I just want to point out that I don't get upset or mad over crits.

Re: Treasure chest
I would definitely suggest improving your poly distribution. Even modeling out some more of the bigger shapes instead of relying 100% on the normal map to sell it. I would also suggest making the spec for your wood muuuuch darker. Right now it looks like someone applied a coat of finish to it, and doesn't really match the… -

Re: Demo Reel IN PROGRESS
Lighting like everyone else said but before you finalize your lighting, what stood out to me was the spec. Do you have any spec maps on these? It looks like you just put a blinn on everything but didn't really adjust the settings on the spec and diffuse. At your school, do you have access to ZBrush or MudBox? You might… -

Re: People with Autism + ADHD innatentive who aren't medicated do you have any advice to be productive?
Indeed, and unfortunately there can be quite a bit of resistance to this when the person comes to 3d from the perspective of "tinkering with computers is fun". @meltdawn : the more complex a model is the more time it takes to get to the posing stage - yet if it was a traditional sculpture, tackling a character without… -
