That said, Amused to Death is actually a really boring track if you listen to it. I think oXYnary managed to replicate its boring-ness by pasting it out in full, in italics, thus destroying any notion of "quick and to the point".
You just broke the first two rules! OT: What everyone else has said practice but don't just try and replicate something understand it and then use what you've learned to create something original and new.
Ok, ya I was kind of just taking your first topology and replicating it and not really optimizing it on my own. The info about triangles is great to know tho! I have one nooby question though, what are 'poles'? Thanks for all the responses :)
Unless it's a polarized photo taken with an on-site filter, I don't care for them since I can easily replicate as I wish via PP. So yeah, as Kwramm said, if it makes a picture pop out more, why not do it later?
ah I see what you mean now, no I dont think theres any easy way to replicate that behavior, may have to just use zbrush. The way it skews is probably something to do with a delay like lazynezumi but with a different function.
looks like it could come out well... you should definitely try to replicate that awesome pollen on the back side of it. Also... max autosaves every 5 minutes >.> can be found in your My Documents folder under MyDocuments/3dsmax/autoback
Thank you very much for the input. I'll start working on it and post the results. I'll try different options on the wood texture to try to get a better too. As for the lighting somehow I'm unable to replicate the results Epic shows in their "Realistic rendering" example:
Instancing tends to mean you use the same resource for several items. So I'm guessing in Maya, it's being able to replicate one object several times and have changes to the source model happen to all of the others (which is how it works in Unity).
Thank you very much Joopson. I'll definitely go ahead and try and replicate that lichen look. I really appreciate your response. I'll be sure to post something tomorrow and I hope you'll be around to have another look soon :) .
Hi Roxxor! A big, big thank you once again for tons of knowledge. You indeed wrote a book here! I will save all this in my notes so I won’t lose it or forget it. I have disappeared because, in the meantime, I received a “test assignment” for an “unpaid internship.” Not sure what it will turn out to be, but I already tried…
