Re: Cheat or not?
I think I know who the streamer is, and he has done this for many many years. He can also take all the time in the world to create and do exactly what he wants. However, using alphas CAN be 'cheating' but it can also not be. it is down to how you use it and what you do with them. There's plenty of cloth fold alphas as an… -
Re: LHC First Physics (7TeV Collisions)
yeah everything is a media circus these days, and anything scientific and new has to get the "extreme" treatment if they want average joe to listen. This fantastic exaggeration what they feed off of, next thing we know they will be saying stem cell research causes same sex marriage. Its just a shame that the work they are… -
Re: Problem with 3ds Max 2017
Than i woud suspect the pro-Boolean being the bad guy. IMHO It's possbile that the boolean operations produce different output after a scene load due to rounding errors etc. Additionally, booleans always tend to produce stray vertices etc. which i would'nt trust being always exactly the same after the boolean operation… -
Re: Suggestions for new computer setup
No reason to spend extra on a fancy motherboard, you're generally paying for things you do not need, extra ports, excessive OC'ing controls, etc. Virtually any mobo here has lan, audio, sometimes wifi etc that you don't need to buy one with 6 pci ports or whatever, just wasted cash/space on something you don't need. If… -
Re: Dealing with canned games
you should be interested in what you do. just dont get too attached to the project as a whole instead be passionate about the asset you are assigned. to us, the artists we care more about the art itself. to a studio head/manager/CEO it is a business meant to make profit. if they are not satisfied with the profit then… -
Re: Personal Work
Really cool stuff, but I'm going to have to agree with Earthquake's and others' comments about excessive detail. Detail for detail's sake is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, extraneous detail can distract the viewer from the elements that are actually important. It just ends up looking like white noise, and none of… -

Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
I think limitations is a good idea, but I think JacqueChoi is onto something aswell. What I feel has limited me/kept me from polycount challenges is the themes. For example mutant league. I didnt have any exposure to tons of things that most people seemed to like when they were kids, like marvel comics, transformers, etc… -
Re: Medieval Hall UDK
There is the last renders from UDK...before the update into UE4!!! This update will be the occasion to: > Get a better readability by tweaking the color of the elements and their light's impacts (flat, shiny, metalic, etc.). > Optimise some props ^^, > Tweak the shadows artefacts. > Maybe add tesselation, if not so… -
Re: UV tiling tricks within 0 to 1 space.
Eric, actually I have some experience with texture atlasing and sharing materials, I was talking about the other game you worked on (I meant modular geometry rather than textures). You mentioned it was for a studio that is now closed down, with a clever guy that developed a nice 3D engine etc. I seem to recall it's a…
