So, photography seems to be a pretty big hobby amongst most creatives, and I love talking about cameras. I'd like this thread to be about anything photography related, from advice about cameras if you're thinking about purchasing, or even discussion about lighting equipment and lighting modifiers. Some basic info: The…
Hey guys! am working on an assault rifle concept based on the KEL TEC RFB 308 / 7.62 x 54 cal. I have already finished modeling the high- and low poly in Fusion 360 and did some optimization on the low poly in 3ds max. I am still new to this kind of workflow so the triangle count is a bit higher than it should (about 38K).…
I was browsin the interwebs and came across this forum site... these are really usefull for enviornements or any scene you guys may be workin on. http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24038
Recently I got the chance to work on a vehicle to show off some of the cool stuff were doing at Marmoset, naturally I went with a FLCL inspired Vespa SS 180. If you caught us at the GDC Polycount meetup, this is the model from the Skyshop and Toolbag 2 demos that we were showing off. Fancy Modo renders of the highpoly:…
I personally never torture my brain with such a dilemma and hardly ever do metallic channel 100% white. Who cares if it's physically correct or not . In our render 100% metallic always looks weird and too "metal" of kind you would never see in real life so I do just what looks right in-between clear and cloudy sky slider.…
@PolyHertz 100% this. I've started dabbling in Blender of late and I'm very impressed. 2.8 is a perfect time to get started in Blender. I'm constantly amazed at this little BIG program. I still can't believe it's only 100-odd megs and takes about 2 seconds to launch. I bought Hardops/Boxcutter and it is a workflow that no…
You can find good 256GB SSDs for $100, I'd say it's definitely worth it to grab one over a 128GB at that price, it's kinda a sweet spot. The Crucial MX100 256GB was $99 2 weeks ago. And here's a few similar deals http://slickdeals.net/f/7173308-sandisk-ultra-ii-240gb-sata-iii-ssd-95ac-tigerdirect?v=1…
All objects start with the same scale on creation 100% regardless of their size. So for example you create a sphere with a radius of 12 and another with radius of 112 they will both have the scale of 100%. If you scale both of those objects in Object Space 200% they will still be proportionally different sizes. If the…
I would say don't worry about it too much and don't follow those budgets on CryEngine docs as they seem quite outdated... It depends on your game/level and the type of tree as well (e.g. a large hero tree or something simple that will be repeated a lot), but I think 5-10k tris is perfectly fine for the highest lod. Quite a…
