hazardous: sorry for the laaaaate answer >_< its just specular, though on my laptop i don't have reflection either and only spec, guess its a hardwarething :) ok here is a new load of stuff In 2008 and 2009 i worked on "Settlers7" by Ubisoft and Bluebyte, after my work on Settlers 6 and the addon it was again quite a huge…
CGTrader is a new site that provides artists with 100% royalties from the sales of their items - yeah, that's right... 100%. Now, you may think there's a catch (isn't there always?) but all you need to do is "rent a space" for your item to go in the marketplace which is a one time fee. Sounds like a pretty fair deal to me.…
tried to finish up the persian temple scene and here was the result: it's certainly something I can use, but I don't think it's right for a trailer. it's okay but I don't think it's that captivating. I think there is some artistic things to fix up like balance of contrast and detail, but even besides that, I think the…
Ended up doing a combo of both of the above responses. Using a default scene didn't work; for some reason the cameras were always set to the default even though I'd edited them in the saved scene. I don't think usersetup.mel runs when you open a scene, just when you load Maya, so I created a default scene with a script…

I have done different tile sizes so it fits (rectangle or square as you advised 150 x 150…
In 3ds max, go to the Hierarchy tab (the 3rd one) in the command panel. Click affect pivot only, select move tool (w) and then right click the X, Y, Z spinners at the bottom of the viewport to bring the pivot point to origin (make sure the reference system is set to world in the drop down menu at the top). If you wanted to…
except nobody outsources to the third world ;) China, Vietnam, Russia, Taiwan aren't Ethiopia, Bangladesh or Tajikistan. There's quite a difference. As single freelancer you compete on a quite different level than a 100+ person outsourcing studio. There's actually good savings when you have enough content to keep a single…
Lambertian term should output a value of 0.0-1.0 depending on how the sampled point is being lit. Use that value and feed it into the V-coordinate(or U depending on ramp direciton) of the UV-lookup of your ramp. Your would probably get color artifacts where values near 0.0 and 1.0 are. Set the ramp texture on the sampler…
