Re: Baking multiple object's AO in 3ds Max: I keep getting black BGs
Yep, you're right, by AO I assume the actual AO in mental ray, which is pretty much kaput in Max for baking out stuff properly. Bad pad streaking, insane amount of cranked up options just to get it right, slow, and extremely flimsy. I also suggest baking it out in one mesh format. You have to be real lucky to get AO to… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: NDO is cool and all, but..
Never come across any of this before... hmm what about some extra details like OS, PS version, Quixel suite version? What are your steps for saving your project? I think you need to convert your normal to an NDO normal, may be wrong I haven't used this fetaure yet. NDO and DDO change dynamically, depending on your layer… -
Re: The "are you passionate about games?" question
I would say thats a valid question. I saw a lot of artits loosing there passion about games, learning new things, playing them and the stoped to inovate there skills. New junger Artists with a lot of passion learned every new tool and workflow and the "olds" lost there interest to install a tool they dont know. I dont need… -
Re: I Need Pointers on Form, Lighting and Stuff
Progress update! One minute I was watching ctrl paint next thing I knew I was painting this through... I'm sure there are mistakes that emerged while I was busy "rendering" Head and hair I haven't really worked on yet it's a little difficult for me to grasp. The pants are also looking a little flat. Overall it looks quite… -
Re: HK UMP .45
EarthQuake: Wow! How did you see that I did a exploded mesh AO? Hmm, I think I need to make a new AO to just complete this project! Kitteh: Maybe it will be better when a new AO will be there. If not maybe I will go back and change that. :) TheWinterLord / 00Zero: Wire will come, tomorrow! BradMyers82: yeah, I just… -
Re: Nates props
nice to see all this progress so much since i last saw it. diffuse is really nice, i have a couple of small crits though. the worn patches on the sofa dont look right, they look like a layer of plain colour over the top of the wood in PS i think it would be nicer to use that layer to desaturate the wood colour in this… -
Re: Sketchbook: Belltann
Thats wicked you lucky bastard! I used to post up drawings all over my room, my dad would come in and rip them all down in a rage. He made me hang this painting of a cabin and it was the only thing aloud on the walls in my room. It was the worst painting too... mocking me every day with its pathetic depection of serenety.… -
Re: Texture Sheet Efficiency feature
I wrote something like that for TexTools once, but its useless so I removed it. You just have to use your eyes because stats do not always tell you useful things. In TexTools you can quickly render a mask of your UV shells as black and white mask to your clipboard, open it in PS and compare how much black pixels are left… -
Re: Your thoughts on tablets...
My experience is kind of weird. I bought a graphire brand new and I hated it; couldn't get used to it. I sold it then saw a 'PenPartner' on eBay. It's an old style tablet, the pre-decessor to the graphire. Its the old version and I still have and love it. Its not USB (serial) but I don't know why, I just prefer it. I think… -
Re: Source Engine: $origin in models... Help Needed
Thanks Mark. The problem (off the top of my head) can be that the user may already be skinning vertices to bones in an animated model... so I am leery about automating it. I may do some tests though for a staticprop. That was something Jed suggested. I am still considering it... but I can already think of problems if there…
