Model of locomotive: TR6-39 I ve choosen this model as it is in local locomotive museum. I ve gone there and did ~100 photos and now modeling step by step all of…
My girlfriend is doing a modeling promotion for WOTLK tonight. It is in Austin at the Gamestop on Research Blvd. They are going to have people dressed up in WoW costumes and shit giving stuff out. If you live in Austin you should head over there :) Go early though or bring a friend. They said they are expecting around 1300…
This was made for a Valkyrie Profile contest at www.gamingartist.com (My final submission renders(may provide larger images at a later point)). This character is called Frie i believe but she seems to be called a different name wherever i look. I plan on working on her again so crits and comments would be appreciated. She…
I've noticed a crash when trying to mask out a section for NDO to create normal map from. The software tells me Error 1302:No such element, then crashes completely. I am unsure if this is a bug or a problem on my part, so feedback as to why this may be happening would help me a lot. Thanks.
Sure I totally agree before focusing on the speed I should be able to make it perfectly no matter how long it takes and it is always like that. When making a piece I will always spend a lot more time than I do once I have repeated the process on the same piece 10 times. And the good point is that once I am at ease making…
Shuriken will batch Any/all emitters that use the same material - you would have to manually atlas your textures on a single material - UV chords on the billboards adjusted accordingly - all emitters using this material are able to batch* custom mesh render in Shuriken allows you to fire upto four meshs randomly: @4:40s…
the no texture argument doesnt make a lot of sense. a vertex could hold more information but you`re going to end up with very big meshes if you want a vertex to store a bunch of potential outcomes for the tesselated interpolations. lets say you have 2 verts and inbetween those verts you have 100pixels in your texture,…
The problem that I have found with this is that value you enter into the offset dialog, is not any sort of absolute unit but relative to the size of the object. Specifically the largest axis of the bounding box so if I have a box that is 10*8*4 100 offset equals half of the largest unit or 5 units, but when you throw in…
ATI probably won't touch prices and I'm betting the Nvidia cards will retail a little high too. Supply from TSMC still isn't perfect. Personally I feel that these new Nvidia cards aren't that great. I mean, yay for being 15-20% faster in the best case scenario but when you factor in 100+ bucks USD and over 100+ watts in…
Agreed! A lot of the times, (and I suffer from this as well) when people approach hand painting contrast is lost. I always paint away and then add an adjustment layer which desaturates the image completely, when doing that to your image you can see how almost everything falls in the mid tones, there are no true darks or…
