Also, check your normals. If they're backwards it'll be rendering the back face, which may be lit incorrectly. Right click off the model and turn on "Show both sides". It could also be light angle related, you can hold down L and left click or right click to reorient your lights, or you can just throw on a lighting preset…
Wow this came along fast. This is looking good, and I know you say you're done; but, depending on the time you have and what you're currently up to, I'd totally revisit this and try to push it further some more (sorry if this comes across too harsh or inconsiderate - I think this is shaping up really nice - I'm just typing…
I figured I would show a few pics of my current setup. I have a sort of scaffolding made out of PVC pipe, which I can quickly clamp on my lights and there are 2 crossbars on the top where I mount the camera and another light. Right now the setup is 3ft cubed, but I can just cut longer PVC to be able to capture larger…
1. BSP shadows are lightmap resolution(F5), as you mentioned. Mesh shadows are also lightmaps, you need to create a second lightmap UV layout and enable it in the mesh itself. TRy googling static mech lightmaps for a detailed explanation. In your example images #2 is being lit by dynamic lighting, which is pretty expensive…
I am modeling the Leuchtpistole 34 flare gun for my weapon art portfolio (https://www.artstation.com/alexanderlindberg) and I have now completed the low poly. I want feedback on it as I am not super well versed in low poly creation from high poly and any critique on it would be appreciated! Sidenote: Certain features of…
I'll speak about lighting since that's what stood out to me the most. Also is this rendered? The XYZ anchors looks like it was a screenshot taken in Maya. Lighting feels flat in these shots though 2nd picture seems to be heading in the right direction though it needs work. Moreover the materials seem like they're lacking…
Hi, I have never used zbrush before, and need to know if it can meet this requirement. Can it render transparent, overlapping texture cutout cards/planes to a texture? (including normal map, specular etc). I.E If I wanted to make a hair texture: could i place poly planes - each with transparent hair texture applied - and…
Do you have a concept that you're working from? You said it's modified. Right now I feel like the main issue is composition, even if you add more stuff to the scene the original composition will make things look a little bit boring. You're currently using an angle that shows off the rockface most. I bet the angle would be…
Win 8.1 Loading the diving helmet scene works perfectly so my system and card are ok, so I am missing something basic. Adding a light via the top menu makes my scene white. The light is an omni but changing the brightness only changes the scene from flat white to flat black. Nothing else is visible. Also the manual says…
