Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I think I have the basic functionality down to make the bottle shapes that I want, the graph is a mess right now and there's probably better ways of doing this (there's absolutely a better way to organize the graph). But this is what I ended up with; The big idea is to be able to create a large number of assets with just a… -
Re: PS4 and Gamma Correction, SRGB
As far as I've managed to understand it over time, is that it's to do with the monitor's relationship to our eye and some entrenched approaches to image display formats. It's all bloody confusing stuff, though, so I hope I can make this vaguely understandable (and hopefully also get it vaguely correct!) Most digital… -
Re: Please, critique my portfolio models. I will give you candy! :)
Just got the mischievous ricky gervais eyes. Anyway some people don't like to acknowledge it, but realism is the standard by which we judge something to be good or bad. That armor you made would look more impressive on a realistic looking figure. Just grab some reference from a site like this for example, sculpt a more… -
Life Drawing - Semester 1 - Final
Hey guys, just finished my first life drawing class at Digipen. My skills went from basically lopsided stick figures to what you see today. I believe the fundementals and language of drawing are the key to any success as an artist. So far I have studied Michael Hampton, and Andrew Loomis, as wells as have been studying… -
Re: Simple Stylised Lava Cave Environment
Feanix, what you are doing for your Distortion is the right idea, however i recomend making a normal map, and using the red and green channels of that normal map to distort your UVs... Using a noise texture is going to give you strange results.. So take your distortion normal map, mask the Red and Green channels, subtract… -
Re: Next-gen rendering trends
Well from UE4's demo, it was just ray traced reflections and shadows, with very low samples. No GI, reflections using simplified versions of what they were reflecting. I think a planar reflection capture actor works better and already exists if you want a mirror in game. This definitely seems like a tool for VFX, film, and… -
Re: Texture sheet in PBR
There is a numeric box/slider for metalness because some materials do not need a metalness map. If your texture is made entirely from metal, or contains no metal at all, you don't need a map. In that case you just need a 1 or a 0 value. You shouldn't tweak the metalness slider by eye, any changes should be made to the… -
Re: Maya .obj import/export scale?
zbrush is 1 unit cubed, not 1 cm cubed - an important distinction in this context. To use max terminology I believe Maya has a fixed "system" unit size equivalent to 1 cm - the units option in the settings window appear to be equivalent to the UI units setting in max. obj import/export appears to work on the "system" unit… -
Re: UVW Map question
1) The one with the polys (in white) over it -> the one of the right. 2) There was a lowpoly thread (i've tryed looking at the one in Pimpin' and Previews) but the Search Tool doesn't find threads from 2008. 3) Flip the tile outside of the 0-1 space (I'm assuming 0-1 space means the actual space of the main UVWmap). 4)… -
Re: M4 Loaded
If you think about it, the only time you need to cut it is if you have a 90 degree edge. Even if you combine the UVs from SG 2 and 3 and leave the UVs for 1 separate, you can still have the entire model have 1 SG except the back if there's mesh there since that is a 90 degree edge. The bake will grab more information that…
