You don't have to do the chrome ball if you don't want to, the IBL node in mental ray accepts a ball shaped map or a cross shaped map. Spherical or angular in the IBL settings. Looking at a chrome ball will give you less information because the wrap around parts of the image will have less pixels in them so I'd recommend a…
All valuable feedback, thanks guys! You're definitely right about the body, I'll speed it up a little so that it matches the legs a bit more, the palps need some work too. I can't tell you how much effort has gone into this at this point! Just over a week ago I had zero experience with animation so I've been constantly…
Allright So the hip bone is connected to the??? Bulleg ? oh boy. Here we Go 50 Caliber Leg going to be attatched to the remainder of the upper leg rotary dics. Im going to add some bandage or duct tape on the metal pilers on the bullet and i will add more detail to the Skull, Torso, Leg, and so on as soon as i reclosed the…
Thank you, Blaisoid! I'm actually really lazy too lol. Sometimes when I'm supposed to be drawing I just drift off into the vast confines of the internet and before I know it a whole hour will be gone. Ah well. Anyways, more stuff! Finally caught up to the present. First pics are some perspective stuff I did while studying…
Hi, I'm working on a scene for my studies and after restarting the PC I'm getting this lines, all the materials are gone and some of the models. Is there a way to fix it or is it gone? Here is the file, in case it can help somehow. MA MB file -f -new; // untitled // performFileDropAction ("D:/3D…
Not sure I understand. Designer should have all available info. I might have phrased original question in confusing way, but I have the mesh in designer. Can bake any proper map from it. Was thinking about hacky ways of doing it, though none seems like it would work. For example, I can convert height map with these details…
Hey Monster, Did all of that already... same result. Non deformer histories are gone and Baking the animation on Export produces the results above... Thanks for the notes on the bind pose... the max influence on this model is 5 and I did "Use Selected Joints". Didn't notice the removed Unused influences though... I'll keep…
i've worked on 2 tank games in my life. the first was a miserable failure of a game similar to yours that was never completed, the second is a programmer-starved tanksim in development hell. oh and this arcadey WW2 tankshit has been done before with panzer elite action: it has better graphics than your crap, and it flopped…
Oh boy. I just gone done in the other thread. To recap my position. -Outsourcing is inevitable at some level with the economic system of a corporate bottom line structure. -It does not guarantee the same level of quality (nor does it say it cant be beyond under certain circumstances). -It also does not mean another artist…
Each day when I get to my desk at work I write down everything I need to get done for the day on a post it note. When I'm done planning work stuff out I then write down what I want to get done with my personal art that night at the bottom. Just a little bit at a time and those big projects will eventually get done.
