Thanks for sticking along, but feel free to take your time as well. It has improved between the chair and the table. You simply could have used a different texture resolution for the chair, but having two different chairs on one sheet is actually a good idea. It's hard to tell in case of the table itself because of the…
Short answer: PDO is more expensive than Masked Opacity and can be just as expensive as transparency, so it's a poor choice to use as a replacement for Masked Opacity. Just use masked opacity. Longer answer: First lets make clear the terms we're talking about. Masked opacity usually refers to the binary calculation that…
Okay, following the advice from Adam, I split the textures into their own images, added them to my scene as diffuse maps for the materials, and reassigned the faces the correct materials. Then I did as was advised and scaled up the uv shells. I centered each shell then scaled by 1000% to get this. I cannot help but think…
SSD are very expensive, it does not compensate very much nowadays. To have a small part of what you see in that youtube video you need to waste too much money, and you will not have a practical PC :) . and you saw the dude? OMG that's what we call a FREAK. Use just one cheap SSD and tell how good are for those expensive…
I think you are actually better off just clicking the "wait" button- the draft pass is really quick, and the highres refinement is not too long either. It shows a progress bar, plus it doesn't eat any computer resources anyways, as this is all cloud-computed ... There are definitely a few rules to good captures. First off,…
To be honest discussion like that are neat but they will not change anything. Some people lately are making just collaborations with players/organizations and nothing will probably change it. Seriously why would they quit? A person would be mad dropping on 100% acceptance rate right? Question is why there is 100%…
Hi guys, totally forgot to make this little tut. But better late thnan never. I'll start explain from bottom to top.For the cavity, use the prtP with a hue saturation at 0 in saturation Normal mode 100% For the curvature, use the blue chan of the prtP, invert it SoftLight mode 100% Duplicate the group and merge it, use…
I agree with art direction being what's noticed. While it is odd to start hearing casual gamers throw terms around like 'bump mapping' and such, I still think the thing that attracts gamers the most graphically is consitent and attractive styles to the game. Some companies out there use the technology to aid in the…
Well it also depends on what you want to use it for. If it's just for online photos, the 20d is more camera than you'll ever need. If you're actually doing print, you'd need to be wanting to do larger than 8x10 inch prints to need higher resolution. The nice thing with the 20d, is larger and brighter viewfinder that uses a…
