Not sure about what engine you are using but I am using cryengine 3 so I found this helpful http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC2/Blend+Layer And this one for max http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-EADD121F-482F-4387-8D6C-0548533E4F56.htm,topicNumber=d30e115412 But of course…
The more lens flares the better! To keep iteration times down start at a low resolution 480x360ish and turn down the number of samples until you get the lighting right, then you can crank up all of the "make it pretty" settings. If you are doing a complex scene, render in layers and passes, then composite them in PS/AE.…
They totally screwed up the issues competition by offering up really strangely slowed down (and consequently detuned ) stems. Some people couldn't figure out how to re-tune them, so there are a bunch of mixes that would be totally win, except all the vocals and original elements included are a semi-tone flat in pitch lol.…

Awesome thread. @Mark, how much do you think the Kinect 2 will improve over the Kinect in this area? Resolution goes from 480p to 1080p, USB3 instead of 2 (and about 30ms less latency), and a bit better depth resolution. At least from the stats I've seen. Will this really improve 'Kinect Capture', will it still be almost…
This won't solve all your issues but the Light Lister tool will help manage all lights in one location. http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/16/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/files/GUID-1A51D621-55E3-48E6-B958-5378BBB60574.htm But I think your best solution is to find a tech artist to help you make a few custom tools that you need. Or learn…
I noticed you're showing only old-school style work (no highpoly). Just fyi the kind of studios that go for that kind of work these days require that you're very good at hand painted textures. Check out Allods Online for an idea of the quality bar set these days for those kinds of pieces:…
