Re: Getting Confused with Normal Mapping [Solved]
No problem! Dithering is well explained in this stickied thread: http://polycount.com/discussion/148303/of-bit-depths-banding-and-normal-maps Basically it adds a bit of noise as you convert a texture from 16 bits to 8 bits.

Re: I'm trying to fix my life, but I don't know how to handle huge employment gaps in my job history
University doesn't mean anything in my country. They're free and worth nothing But it means that you are not without knowledge and intelligence. And this makes a difference. "Don't even try to be good at the things that you hate to do." Yeah. Bullshit. I did not mean that you should only do what you love. I meant to avoid… -
Re: CAD Export Topology issues
"I need this model render ready. Is there way to fix this while exporting out from the cad software?" If you are able to get exports in a format that supports explicit vertex normals, e.g. fbx if the CAD software or converter can write the normals correctly, there's a chance minor inconsistencies like that won't show up in… -

Re: Sketchbook: Alex Javor
The funny thing is that this is my first human model, and although I have no other experience to compare to, I think my wife is pretty difficult to model. I mean, she doesn't have a ton of wrinkles or anything, but in real life -- and of course in my opinion -- she's really beautiful, but it seems that there is a fine line… -

Re: WIP- Re-imagining Of Link
Am a huge Zelda fan myself. Link's by far my fav video game hero, hehe. Here's some of my thoughts; - Like the detailing of his clothes, although I don't quite enjoy the soldier-styled jacket. It seems too far off from the traditional fantasy world that he was once made for. Perhaps a more unusual cut to his original… -
Re: Best morning link EVAR!
My wife almost exploded with cutiness when she saw those, she really likes cats. Our cats names: Danger when he was a kitten with claws we hung a "danger" tag from his collar to let people know he wasn't the friendiest cat and would more than likely claw you to death. Everyone called him that and after he lost his claws… -
Has anyone here ever 3D print car parts to life scale?
Thank you in advance my talented fellow polycounters. I'm trying to design personal parts for my vehicle....anyone here ever tried to print to life scale. I have a dimensionally accurate 3d car model and I'm getting closer to the final stages of parts i'd like to print. Any advice as far as the process? -
Re: How do i render something like this?
For every different map: use it with a simple diffuse shader with emmission or pure emission shader and a simple wireframe render (or using a wireframe shader) and mixing thoes images to build up this diagonale pattern.. and some diagomal lines and text..
