My take on the second one. Made me realize that I should practice things like this a lot more, this took me way too long. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27747961/WHSC/WHSC_01_wires.jpg
So I tested 2 other FBX by nervouschimp and the tangent space normal map come out black also. This thread has the FBX files(I believe they are also FBX 2013): http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=83&t=91170 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27648883/AdamsNormalTortureTest.zip…
I realize this is a three month old thread. but, I figured this information might still be of some use to someone. I recently built a new machine and decided to go multiple GPUs and Monitors. Im listing my GPUs specs and drivers in case they make a difference. GPU 2X: Nvidia GTX 460 2GB Driver Ver. 275.33 Nvidia Control…

Thanks for the kind words! I kind of browsed through a bunch of different style's while trying to get some sort of inspiration kickstart for shapes and such: a little bit of WoW of course, kingdoms of kingdoms of amalur, skyrim (mostly for shapes and their visual language, not really the textures for this), dishonored, and…
Thx for your explanation of the shift-bridge. Works similar to f2 then. Good to know this actualy works in Max should i need it. The difference is in the usability then since in blender you always use the same shortcut for all the scenarios and don't go through third party menu (unless you assign specific shortcuts). As i…
I can't recommend the Cintiq 22HD enough. Were I doing concept/illustration, I'd probably go with the 27HD, but the 22HD is perfect for sculpting and texture work, imo.
It's looking better, but I think you could push the edge wear a bit more. Depends on how new you want this to look though. I'd add some more dust in the recessed areas. And I'd overlay a bit of wood grain. Here's some more reference: http://free-images-etc.rb-d.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9807.jpg…
