Ok so I too feel kinda odd about the superkid aspect of it. I mean, I am all for respecting the original material but in a way this just look too ... staged, if you see what I mean. If a kid has such strong skills I would expect the visual style of the movie to reflect it, almost in a Sin City way - Showing the "berserk"…
I'm not sure about the ceiling, but for the walls. 1. X-Ray viewer (could glow dim with an x-ray on it?) 2. Chart of the human body 3. Remember to wash hands near the sink 4. Maybe some red text (can't think of any right now) to add a hint of red to match the trashcan. 5. Labels on the equipment:…
Yeah... I was going to ask when the new WAYWO thread gets made if the top level post could ask people not to post PNGs. Thing I hate most is when people try to play the "well your internet sucks" card. I'm on a 355 Mbps connection, that's almost 30x faster than the average American broadband connection (and more than 10x…
I don't have Max near me, but my workflow for setting up an MR render is as follows; Set your renderer to Mental ray (duh) Apply an ambient occlusion pass to your diffuse of the material Samples anything from 100-300, spread around 2.5 Right click on your lowpoly, properties -> object ID should be a positive number, we''ll…
at a glance, it's too dark, and the door is too bright (or just right?). Also the proportions seem to squashed and stumpy. As in, everything's wider than it is tall. A recognizable aspect of old west buildings is that they have a large facade and a smaller building behind that. Where as you have built a building with a…
yeah check out the prices of the quad cores on newegg. You can get one for around 300 now i think. Just shop around. You can get some crazy deals here and there. I can't recommend the xfi sound card enough. My wife got me the fatality one a few years back and man the difference is amazing. The crystalizer is a huge bonus.…
I met him at the Seattle Comic Con last year. He's a really great guy to talk to, not anything like I thought he would be, not nearly as dark and brooding as I thought he would be. I'm not sure how they would pull off a movie version of The Plucker. I hope it falls more in line with the style of Pans Labyrinth then 300…
Well, the background is based on the steampunk principles as in there is no petroleum or silicon based technology, everything is ran on steam, coal etc. Although it's a technology that was developed and imporved over 300 years after which 100 year old global conflict pretty much destroyed most of the earth and drained most…
Yeah, it's up to 100 right now. I've even thrown it up to 300 just to see if that would have an effect and nothing. I may just try bringing the model into a new scene, loading up the UVW and see if that has any change. Seems like Max is just being picky for no good reason right now. Edit: Gah! you posted as I was posting…
