There are certainly tools out there using Stable DIffusion and the like to use neural networks to generate normal maps from photos. The problem is they mostly rely on illegally-scraped datasets. If you're OK with the ethical and legal issues of that (I'm very much not cool with it) then have at it.…
Some of these may just be bugs I'll have to live with but I figured I'd post up and see if anyone has any solutions: 1- Photoshop CS3 And 3ds Max 9 Selection Tool Lag, Alright basically whenever I use the selection marquee tool, I have a 50/50 chance of experiencing what i can only call lag. The edge I'm dragging from will…
Hi, This Realtime character is entirely made by me based of the concept art of ZHENG HUANG. It tool men 39 days to complete this character. This was my personal project so that's why it took so long. I have learned so many things in the making process of this character. It took many back and forth tweakings that took most…

Take 3 of the pieces you have, polish the s*** out of them. Then put only these 3 pieces in a folio. Focus: Pick 1 production step you like, e.g. modeling & texturing and 1 technical subject. In your case, this shouldn't be Mental Ray. Pick Unreal, since you've already used it. Use that to present your work. But focus…
Really like seeing you having fun with exploring all the different designs and ideas. Looking over your last images I thought about mainly four critique points: You rarely see absolutely black colors in reality and I noticed you're often using the 90%-100% black pallet. It's super cool for giving contrast, sure, but the…
Hi there, Bit of a debate going on between me and my friend and honestly I don't know any more. Is it generally accepted for studios to use 3rd party scripts such as TexTools, in 3ds Max etc.? Unlicensed/Open Source/Free scripts are probably more related here, not big 3rd party tools like RayFire but any input on that end…
Well that's cool. Bug fixes are always welcome. No new features stood out to me with the Max update. Looks like Maya is getting new modelling tools (please just give it all the modelling features Max has), so that's good. I like Mudbox and it's clean user interface/experience. Hope the retopology tools are easy/nice to…
It does not. I asked Doug Rogers about exposing their DDS plugin to Actions, and he said "what are actions?" So if you make an Action, it will just use the last settings you used. But everytime you restart Photoshop, the DDS tool forgets the last setting you used. Though you can save DDS settings in the tool. They're just…
It's like love at first sight! Thanks guys for posting the link, I remember hearing about it some time ago but never tried it. It's also so nice that this tool is compatible with different packages. I really enjoy how more demanding content creation is pushing forward the birth of cool focused tools like that. Xnormal,…
