Re: Kicking the Habit (Smoking)
There is a difference between gaining "fat" weight and gaining "muscle" weight, ideally you'll want to gain on the second. The more lean muscle mass your body have, the more it will auto consume calories to maintain its volume. So working sounds like a good idea. I ll personally encourage you to find a sport you like.… -
Re: [UE4] Tibetan monastery interior
Okay some more tests.. made a normal map and put it on a decal actor so I could break up some of the repetition without using a new mesh. It has to be a flat surface because the decal uses planar projection and it stretches over curved surfaces. also shading is kinda messed up apparently I need to enable DBuffer in UE4 so… -
Re: UDK - Material - Rotate the Pan
Got you, that makes alot of sense. Thanks Vailias much appreciated, however, about the masking, the reason I'm masking my single parameters, it because they do not work for some reason if the node is not a specific function. An example of what I mean is the TexCoords works fine with the Append in place and are much faster… -
Re: H&K G3A3 Rifle
Managed to spend some time to get the high poly baked down to a low poly, took a little bit of rework in terms of UV's and low poly geometry adjustments to get the lighting and normals to bake properly. Started texturing it using Mudbox for painting and photoshop for finalizing paint layers and adjusting various details.… -
Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
Alright, I'm resurrecting this thread ** casts NECRO on thread ** and calling upon you awesome peeps for some more help! I've downloaded nvidia's fx composer and am writing a shader from scratch in it. I'm quite enjoying the process so far. But now I've hit a bit of a road block. It seems that if I use: dot(Light, Normal)… -
Re: [WIP] Coffin Apartment
The wall material. It's nothing special, and just has a couple simple details. Some little "clumps" of paint (I'm assuming that's what they are), brushstrokes, and that sort of layered variation from the plaster being spread on (imagine the top of a surface being flattened or scraped away by a min/darken layer in PS). I've… -
Re: Time Management (Self learners + College students only)
ps. as someone who was in your situation 4 years ago (wannabe 3d artist going into computer science) I said to myself that I would practice 3d during school and hopefully when i got out i could pick whichever path i chose. it's important to mention that i wasn't a 3d beginner at the time (been doing it for fun since I was… -
Re: lil' dude
rooster, you can make any pockets you want, the function and placement are irrelevant. what they need is to be part of the form of the pants. i figuered id try and paint on it.. and then dragged to other stuff so the other things are: try placing some remarkable (noticeable) marks around the highlights for details, that's… -
Re: "Self taught" Soon to be past tense?
I dont think that's gonna change anything. if you have a killer portfolio and state that it was all done with let's say max and PS then i can't imagine anyone will care about a certification as proof that you can use those tools. I think it's a good thing for entry level positions, and students out of schools that have a… -
