Re: 3D Modeler Portfolio Critiques: Brutal Honesty
Your texturing is your weakest point I would say, all your textures look very muddy and low res, spend some time learning next gen texturing, with high res maps, including normal maps, spec/gloss or even PBR materials including metalness/roughness maps. Try out Ddo and see how it can improve your texturing workflow, and… -
Re: 3D Final year project: Dam environment (WIP)
Hi all. Sorry it has been a while. The buildings that are in the water would be accessed from underneath. They would be for reading water consistency, depth and any monitoring any unknown elements that are located in the water. This means they would not be on show to the public as they hold sensitive material, as well as… -

Re: 3DS Max - Polycounter and backface culling question
Its been a while since I used the old UI but I think its under selection > Perspective Select or PersSel or something similar. I think was added to 4.0 (maybe a 3.0 update?) right before it was included in 2010 so older versions might not have it. Polyboost was included in Max2010 they decided to call it Graphite modeling… -
Re: [Portfolio] Joel Miller Tansley - Character Artist
Hi Joel, You've got some nice work on there. I'd definitely agree that the axe is your best piece. I'd say the weakest is the dragon whelp (I like the texture but the head and body are a weird shape). Some of your drawings are really good (the life drawings for example) but some on those pages are not that great. I'd get… -
Re: Tom's Journey Into Animation Part 1 - The Bouncing Ball
Wrath, thanks so so much for that. Honestly, I really appreciate it. I'll be honest, I'd never studied much of the actual physics behind Newton's laws, and up until now, had never really thought in detail about the hows and whys of them affecting the animation I'm working on. Knowing to keep that in mind when animating… -
Re: Symmetry issue involving normal maps
I tried everything. When looking at the mesh in the mesh editor window, a combination of the 128 color blend fix and the tc_uncompressednormalmap helped. In fact, it solved the problem *in the mesh editor*. Unfortunately, the second i ran a build, the problem was as bad an apparent as ever. I also tried several different… -
Re: windows 7
yeah you need 64bit to use 8gb ram. Can't agree on Ultimate tho. I've been using Home Premium on my main machine and I don't see a reason, except maybe win backup and remote desktop, to use Ultimate. I never had to use the XP emulator, and compatibility mode is included in Home premium. All recent 3D apps and games work… -
Re: Green with envy
Oooh, a whole lotta stuff! :poly142: The short list includes getting the trunk lid to set right (slight gap for some reason), getting the lower rear valence fixed (slight angle in the bodywork we're not happy with), getting the fiberglass hood installed, handful of other body-shop items. There's still a few electrical… -
Re: Blender 2.5 Update Posted
As I understand it Python 2.5 is going to be cut and replaced by Python 3.0 The idea being that the new core will break backward compatibility with most python plugins anyway, might as well update while they are at it. As far as Python being included...Im not sure what the plan is with that. Maybe they will offer it with…
