Re: ZBrush 4R2 Sneakpeek
True, ZB uses 4GB of RAM and the remaining 4GB are used for temporary memory storage, so it's all good, just not as good as it could be, especially if you want to Polypaint at double ratio to downscale and fix up in PS. Yeah, it's cool to have freebies, but sometimes, putting down the cash after what is now about 6-7… -
Re: First portfolio website, critique and advice wanted
Dan basically explained it perfectly. On top of that, getting an entry level job as an artist in a large company is hard. Heck people with more skills have issues getting internships with them. There are alot of people applying for those entry level positions with both creative and technical abilities that go past the… -
Re: 3dsmax Blend Shader

Cross post from mapcore: I would avoid viewport shaders, I mean yes, they're fun to play around with, etc, but they tend to be buggy, unreliable, they crash, and they would never look exactly like it will in the game, etc. It's much easier to just hit export and in 0.5sec your back in the editor tweaking the material… -
Re: Should i be working in PBR from now on?
Well, I had to do two time smaller texel size once we moved to metalness variant of PBR to reach same visual texture crispness because of edge artifacts. Perhaps I am still missing something but specular veriant of PBR is not exactly physically based since it allows to make what you think is right rather than what the… -
Re: Perspective tools for Photoshop
Thanks everyone! tingham, whoa! I probably wouldn't bother with the scripts if I knew something like that exists! But in the end I feel like that was a nice math exercise for me (at least I think I understood how to use functions properly :D ) lloyd, I totally understand: I have the same with other toolkit which is a… -
Re: Scythe - Everyday is speed-scuplt day
Hi there, Thanks Ged. I feel like all the tips and tricks and the constant training are starting to kick in. So today decided to make a little face, and what i'd say is that even if it's fricken far from perfect, I feel much more confident when i'm sculpting. I think i'm starting to find my personal workflow that'll work… -
Re: Quixel Suite Beta/license information
Thanks for the reply! It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the paths though, the suite is on the same location as I have it. Which is: C: Users\Public\Quixel\SUITE We tried downloading the new 1.4 version, and reinstalled, and was first glad that it worked. Basically, Photoshop was opened, we loaded the suite and got… -
Re: 1st Time Noob Normal/AO bake in max==Epic Fail for half a day of work
First, you don't really need to explode your mesh, because you can keep it together during the bake, if you use material ID's to render the different elements(check "hit only matching material ID's" in the render to texture options). If you trying to bake the ao with exploded mesh, you will never get proper ao map, because… -
Re: uwrapping tapered object help
tbh this mesh isn't even all that tapered - i reckon i'd probably lay it out perfectly straight, you will probably get a little distortion but you'll be able to paint in straight lines on it which might even come out looking better, and be easier to texture in PS. I don't think Japhir is right when he says straightening it… -
Re: Baking Spec Maps Via Max
hmm I see so editting the materials themselves is pointless, and adding more light into a scene in theory works for a spec map, but the turn around time might just be easier to just bake a simple spec map and then toss on a AO on that and multiply it and then add all aditional spec map effects from there im assuming. hmm I…
