Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge October 2014 (24)
Times up. i would of liked to put some crates or somin in the cabin and have some stacked fire wood outside if i had more time. Using fully dynamic lighting for the scene with the new soft shadows implemented in 4.5. lightmapping actually gave me worse performance then lightmaps and the soft shadows looked better :/ random… -
Re: The Beast - Nature`s Executioner (VickGaza)
looking cool! I'd say the only thing I could suggest is to find more areas where you can see the bony structure, because he feels a bit lumpy overall... all soft... would be nice to see some more structure like you have in the elbows all over the body then you could highlight the soft tissue more in contrast -
Re: In-depth description of Smooth Grouping
[ QUOTE ] Go away smoothing groups! Autodesk: hard/soft edge assignment, NOW! [/ QUOTE ] I second that, and I've always been a Max user. Every Maya convert I've ever trained has been like, "WTF is a Smoothing Group?! The EDGE is either hard or soft!". And I just have to nod my head, and say "Yeah, it's stupid, I know." -
Re: Sten Gun - Crits Please!
The edges are just as soft as I can get on the thinner areas with Quad Chamfer. I'm not really sure why I would want to vary the softness, I can't see that showing up in the normal map really? Unless you mean some kind of wear effect, which I could sculpt in. Please, elaborate on what you mean... -
Re: Topology issues
Polygonal modeling is straight modeling with surface shading based on hard/soft edges or smoothing groups (wysiwyg) and sub-division modeling is modeling with the intent of using a smoothing algorithm that results in hard/soft forms based on either creasing or control/in line edgeloops on the cage mesh. In game asset… -
Re: Modo Rules!
ID is using this? That's a smart move on there part. Anymore companies on board? You're right to say that max and modo have much of the same tools but using Modo's tools are more simpler and faster than Max's tools. Soft selection in Modo has more options and flexibility than Max's soft selection tools. Max's has never… -
Re: Reims Cathedral Stained Glass Window
Thanks! A friend at work made the suggestion that my lighting (which has really soft shadows) could also be causing some of that soft, flat look. I'm going to play around with something more dynamic to see if enhances any of that detail. I should have thought of playing with that before, but I got caught up with everything… -
Re: Snowboarding
Turned out nice buddy. I think my only real crit is the normal map for the face. It's too soft and doesn't provide convincing details. There should be a few sharp changes in direction at least somewhere on the face. Not totally sure where the sharpness should go, but it's reading as too baby soft with no creases at the… -
Re: Fantastic Four
[ QUOTE ] Id rather Fantastic 4 be a skinemax flick than a summer blockbuster. All of the character's super hero names would be aptly suited for a "B" movie soft core porn wannabe like that, and it would also cost 1/20th the current budget. [/ QUOTE ] It was a "B" movie soft core porn wannabe but without the good parts,… -
Re: Frustrated Student Contemplating Dropping Out To Work (Please Advise)
Soft skills generally refers to interpersonal and communicative aspects of working life so those are not soft skills - those are just (hard?) skills. The OP wants to be an artist and thus needs to worry about being good at art . If they are inclined to muck around with blueprints that's great - go for it. Just don't be…
