Max2010:MentalRay 'Out of memory Error' potential fix
I know this is more of a rendering topic rather than game art but i had this problem today in max 2010 and thought maybe others could use the same fix. basically MentalRay can sometimes give a 'out of memory' error when you are trying to render a heavy model or scene. Versions of max prior to 2010 had a UI option in the… -
Re: Tips for Capturing Tennis Ball Photos and PBR Material Creation
You can't really do a furry surface with a regular PBR shader. You need a fur rendering system. For example VRayFur https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/tennis-ball-fur-3d-1144972 -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
@ islipaway- You're totally right on this. I noticed it too. If this is an ancient structure, there were only two types of stone arch or entryway systems available- keystone arches or posts (like Stonehenge). Also, without mortar holding the rocks together like bricks, there is no way stones like these could be used as a… -
Re: How long do average/professional modelers spend re-topologising?
I've just finished retopologizing some sculpted curly hair. That took me about 3.5 hours to get to the final polycount of around 1700 polys. That's an extreme example since it was retopo'ed from scratch without re-using bits of a base mesh. It also doesn't have a nice regular surface so most of it was done painstakingly… -
Re: Thief 4
What rubs the fans of the classic games up the wrong way is the differences in design ethos. The original games focus on systems - you're given an array of tools and rules and let loose on the game world. The modern thief is a more scripted experieence - levels are more straight forward, you're told where you can shoot… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Andrew Dyksterhouse
I'm going to go there: This is a bad portfolio design, much worse than what you had before. Remove this image viewing system in favor of standard thumbnails and images. You force the user to view your content within your own image viewing system which controls their speed of viewing and the image they see. So in essence,… -
Re: Steam Mac Client Coming.
Since the consoles have their own clients specific to each platform. You will never see steam on them as the market is currently. Who knows in the far future. Especially if Gabe and such "sell out", and sell the steam network. There is more Ged, an untapped market in both. Not nearly as big as the PC. More dedicated I… -
Re: PS3 Network still down :(
See, that was more to my point. They REALLY pushed getting the GO, which wouldn't use hard copies of the games. Since I really dislike that business model, I avoided getting one. I was curious if this network issue killed the GO's, or can you still play games that you've d/l'd in the past, but just can't get new games.… -
Re: Microsoft - Illumniroom: Next Gen Immersion
I do appreciate that someone is experimenting with something like this. It's nice to see an attempt being made at shaking things up a little bit. At the same time, I'm not confident in the viability of this as a product in the current market, and I will be doubly concerned if Microsoft attempts to build the NextBox around… -
Re: Camera and Keyframes
There are no official docs for cameras/keyframes at this time. Keyframing camera rotation can be a bit funky because of technical reasons. Basically the keyframing records the explicit transforms while the viewport camera navigation rotates around a point in front of it. So, making edits to the camera and playing them back…
