Re: Sergi Brosa - Stylized Cowboy Character
Thanks guys! :) @Afklamer so close to being done dude, so close! Here is an update pic FINALLY... I didn't really know how to "render" this other than by just taking a screen cap of my screen so forgive me for this not being that pretty haha.

Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
This thread is far more technical then some of the others, It's been very helpful. My process (guidelines) is very simple for getting good bakes from Maya. * Only use hard edges on UV seams * Not all UV seam should have hard edges, only those that are ~90 degrees or more on the model (i.e. the corner of a box) * Everything… -
Re: Mari - does anyone actually use it?
It's interesting the video cites true 3d brushes that paint on the surface as a plus, but I've found projection painting is what makes Mari so much better to paint with. For those who don't know, in Mari when you're painting, you're painting on the "screen" first then hitting a button to quickly bake to the model. This… -
Re: Applying Post Process Effects to Canvas
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of... Unfortunately, there's no way of writing an efficient renderer directly in HLSL - I mean you can write a basic one, but it's sloooowwwwww. :D I did already achieve a basic screen-space GI effect by combining SSDO, screen space indirect illumination and screen-spece color bleeding… -

3dsm Viewport Canvas question
Hey guys At this point, I'm too far into production pipeline to use anything else, so I'm stuck with Viewport Canvas until the end of the project. I usually manage fine with it, my only issue for it is there seems to be no way to add a falloff effect to your brush based on the angle of polys so that it doesn't paint on…
