Upgrading work/gaming PC - Crit my rig!
There's been alot of hardware talk in the Sandy Bridge thread, but I wanted to get some opinions on my own upgrade, and possibly turn this into a Hardware/upgrade thread if anyone else wants to throw around specs and prices! :D My current PC is about 4 years old, give or take the odd replacement along the way. But the big… -
Jumping into making my first scene. Please help me PC
So for the past few months I have been cranking through a handful of books for modeling and I think I am ready to challenge myself to try and crate my own scene. These are a handful of pictures for references I will use. My idea is to create this old church and grave yard with an old worn picket fence to hold everything… -
Make Manual LODs With Edited Normals? (3ds Max)
Hello. So I've taken to editing vertex normals a while ago and have incorporated into my workflow and so far it's something I can't live without. The only thing that's put my work to a halt at the moment is LODs, because this is only really something I use for high quality meshes primarily weapons I need at least the first… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2022
Do you have reference for this project? There are a few things that stand out to me with this at the moment. 1) either your lighting is set up strangely, or your green channel your normals is inverted, since light is hitting all of the bricks from below. 2) The white paint material is blending in a very strange manner. It… -
Re: Transferring animations and rigs onto different LOD models?
The best way to not have to unwrap each LOD would be to create the lower LOD by cutting manually geometry from the highest LOD already unwrapped. So no need to unwrap as long as you don't remove an edge on a UV border. And no need to redo any bakes and texturing. Now, If your LOD are different models, there's not much you… -
Re: Please help moving forward on project.
even though this isn't good reference material, but it's not bad idea to analyze it and study it, and really figure out what you're seeing and how you're perceiving it the holds suggest the direction of the spin and give you enough time to understand what you're seeing, absolutely necessary otherwise the action would be… -
Re: Conor's art progression
Hey cool! Another thing I noticed, on the workbench/chest of drawers, the top wood seems like it should be scarred heavily by past work. Saw cuts, hammer blows, dark stains, drill holes, etc. I have an old workbench in my basement, and man it's seen some heavy use. I'm not sure why some drawers have wood fronts while… -
Re: So I just saw Star Wars for the first time today...
Yep that's how it was with my nephews. They really like Kenobi and the clones, they aren't so keen on Anakin, he wines and broods too much. I feel toward the new ones, how they feel about the old. Pretty good, some really cheesy stuff but still entertaining. Personally I like Empire because it had such a huge impact on my… -
Re: Dead Loading
I loved the demo, I bought the game and still want to play it but find myself with more reasons not to. 1) The animations. He runs like he's hurt, old and broken all at the same time. Because he's hold his camera from the players PoV he looks to be doubled over in pain. 1a) The face modeling and animations bother me. Noses… -
Texture Gold Help
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice for doing a gold texture, the actual reference of this had no gold, but I wanted gold on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it look right, I don't know if it's just a specular map is needed or that there is no reflection in it. It is being used for a…
