Re: EdgeBlur in Maya and why we sould aim to implement it on bakers
I did some further research into this. It's essentially a Gaussian blur. It's not content aware, so it blurs everything indiscriminately and can cause problems with seams if you have a seam that cuts through anything with detail. If your seam is on an empty or relatively detail-less area, you probably won't notice any… -
Re: Archviz swimmingpool in UDK
My UDK is going to poop for some reason (I need to re-install the OS anyways). Buy my idea was to take the render to texture and for each direction of a the blur (I guess 8, or however many samples you want) shift the image over a few pixels, then take the result of each shift and LERP them together with 50% alpha so if… -
Re: Savage Model 110 BA
Highpoly looks good but really sharp at some places Your polycount is rather too low than to high. Your Scope has 8 sides, thats nothing. People would see your scope stretched all over the screen, and having 8 sides is clearly not enough by far. I dont know your intentions, for a browser FPS 6k should be about fine, if you… -
Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?

Re: Learning to bake
Hey, thanks for response!!! The gradients in my normal map are not extreme if you look at them you 're definitely right, they are supposed to be there, they still come out same. Some of these gradients are there because my lowpoly parts are lying flat where there's a smooth bevel/corner and that gradient is representing… -
Re: Bevel vs. Smoothing Groups
For high poly I almost never use Bevel unless it is to create a filleted corner. Beveling becomes messy very quickly (especially in Maya) and I generally do not like losing my corners whilst modeling with smooth preview. I almost always use support edges but there have been instances here and there where I will use the… -
Re: Where have all the platformers gone?

Re: Old ones gone, folio09
Hey bigman!! Some tricks to improve the animation : Blink your eyes fast when it's playing. It will smooth out the movement (brain filling in the gaps), and will give yo a taste of what it should look like. Then when you open your eyes again you will see all the flaws. (stupid but it works!!) Remember that every part of… -
Re: Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos - June 5th
My DJing friend asked me an interesting question today, after listening through Scenes from a memory, Octivarium, and Train of Thaught. Do dream theater record with alternate time signatures throughout some of their tracks because they have become expected to? a good example, would be "As i am" - Train of thaught. where in…
