Re: Texture Proof Sheets
The most common term I've heard is texture flats. I usually display 4 textures in a quad configuration that fits within 960, so they are about 480 squared. I display all of the maps that actually show off something. So Diffuse, Specular, Normal, but I usually don't show the alpha or ambient, especially if its a just a… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Pontus Karlsson
Yup, very nice work. Good site too. I would suggest removing the "finest stuff___" line and one or two of the empty horizontal lines above it. That change would allow your environment image to move further up vertically on your main page, so that it's immediately visible when your page loads. I'm on a 1280 x 960 crt… -
Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
Hi jogshy, I've run into a few potential bugs with xNormal 3.17 Beta 3 - 3.17.0.36069 x86. The Optix renderer is FAST! :D Unfortunately it doesn't seem to obey the Max frontal or rear ray distance settings. It doesn't seem to cast any rear rays at all either. Am I supposed to use a cage with the Optix renderer? Here's a… -
Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
@zachagreg I know how the LOD colour coding works, sorry for giving you the impression that was a mystery to me too. Here's a screenshot with just quad overdraw on (full 3D grass blades).... I've watched a number of tutorials on grass and none ever mentioned "alpha mipping" or "normal skewing". Anyway, just for the sake of… -
Re: FG and GI maps 3dsmax??
Okay,I have been reading u can downgrade the resolution and size of your fg map.Say if u were rendering at 1080p,can u use a fg map of 960 x 540p?or 720p will be the best res to use. I have heard flickering is mainly caused by not having enough inital fg density points, hence Mental ray has to compute additional ones.I… -
Re: 700-800 - £600-700- Budget 3D modelling/rendering build
A. All I7 CPUs are designed to automatically overclock when needed, to an extent, they will not OC to an extreme amount like you may see people doing manually. B. Go for the 3770 over the 3770K if you don't specifically intend to overclock. C. If you don't really know how to overclock, its not something you should be… -
Help with finding computer components
Hello, I am considering building a computer but I don't know what components to use. I am trying to find what would be best for 3D Game design. I looked into it a bit and created the list below. I'm not sure if this is all compatible though and I'm not sure about a good graphics card or if I am missing anything else. Could… -

Re: Budget Workstation
No luck for now, the only one I found is the same Palit GTX 560 Ti I've found yesterday, the others are on auctions or the shipping fee are insane. I'll still look for other website that may offer cheaper solutions than Ebay. In the meantime, what if I follow EarthQuake's suggestion on going with CPU's integrated GPU,…
