Re: How do you develop artistic taste? Is it even possible?
I was in the technical side for many years too, it definitely blinds you on some spots you should see as an artist. I consider myself in the same situation to some extend, less now than before but it definitely took time to change my technical point of view to an artistic one, and still I don't feel artsy enough compared… -
Re: baking normal maps on a mac?
Generally speaking, What Max, Maya and Xnormal(to a lesser extend, well its more annoying in XN is all) have over these random apps like modo, topogun, zbrush, blender, etc is: Advanced cage setup. If you can't do a fully averaged cage for a mesh that has hard edges, its useless for baking. I don't think Blender can.… -
Re: Help: tilable textures in zbrush
It all depends on how you drop the mesh to the document. Its basically converting the model to an image, so the pixols that you see are what you get. If you drop an object so that it is small and its ends are visible like people often do with bricks, then those ends are going to be visible no matter how you pan around the… -
Re: [3ds Max] Insert Vertex with interpolated vertex normal?
Actually I have already try many thing in edit normal modifier, unify normals can be able to fix some of other models which originally have some breaked normal on some original exist vertices (like picture below). (Twinke Masta's AN/PVS-4 from gamebanana) And here is the actual model modification I am working on, it is… -
Re: Jay
his left side is full, but his right side is squished in to fit you image canvas. This isnt a problem with photoshop sinze you can Image > Canvas Size and extend the side out. While perspective may play a role, not to this extreme. Another tool that will help you if you're having trouble making one side match this other is… -
Re: Zbrush multi map exporter - help
I've been giving this a few shots, and have been able to recreate what I think is your problem (multiple blank maps on a plane - for me even the regular method of generating a map was blank). The error was happening when the uv's borders were directly on the 0 or 1 coordinate boundary, MME/zbrush sees this as extending… -
Re: yarr mateys, how many of yer polycounters be pirates?
fuckit, i'll be honest. just about every copy of 3dsmax i have, was pirated. so was zbrush, and most photoshops. my parents bought photoshop years ago but wouldn't upgrade so i pirated the newer version, i bought a student license for max, and then discreet wouldn't let me extend it, so i pirated from then on. that said,… -
Re: PSP Development
The engine we were using, 64x64 was the max resultion we could use in order to get top performance, many of which were paletted down to 4 bit. So it was multiple 64's for characters, buildings, etc. Charaters were around 1000 polys. Evironments are all relative to your tech. Our tech was able to load in a large chunk of a… -
Re: E3 '07
Yeah, as much as I still hate Sony, they really have a chance to gain back some credibility if they show something cool- full-sized "hardcore" downloadable games? Some new exclusive? Wii Fit looks kind of cool if you play a lot of DDR like I do, and the zapper looks kind of neat, although Guncon 4 looks like it will be… -
Re: aesir's sidescroller art
It's a bit hard to tell how the eyes feel on his face in faceted mode with just grey on grey. Try adding a quick shade of tan to his face with a white eye, this way we can get a better read of how it may look. Also for the mustache and beard try extending the plane so you have a bit more to work with when using alphas.…
