Re: Amsterdam
Still soft & fluffy. . . tighten up the gaps, and harden the edges if necessary. This is also true of the curbstones up top. The keystone seems undersized to me, I'd scale it up to make it more proportional with the rest of the bridge. I'd also bring the bottom edge down to meet the rest of the arch. As it is it looks like… -
Re: Baking (good) normal maps in Max?
Thanks for the reply! Hmm, so should I be using smoothing groups then? I tested that too at some point, but currently I'm not using them. Instead I've been separating UV shells pretty liberally, as it seems to help at least in the tight angles (like 60 degrees and over). My setup is pretty basic - there's a low poly object… -

Re: My day out
Nice pic, pog Astro - You can call all you want, I know where I stand. Rick - Ending poverty is as likely as attaining world peace. And I never said ignore it. I've given time to helping shelters, and I make yearly donations to several groups. I'd absolutely love it if it dissapeared, but it's just not likely. Prs-Phil - I… -
Re: A genuine question for those who voted for Bush...
[ QUOTE ] I think it fair to say that all our laws that deal with what is right and wrong are ultimately based in a faith-based set of rules [/ QUOTE ] I disagree. Morality doesn't necessitate religion; this is a misconception that really pisses me off. I am agnostic, and yet I have a set of morals. What morality boils… -
Re: 3D model Baking practice
Hey, after taking a look at the Blend file, here are some notes: Lowpoly - lowpoly has some hard edges with no splits UVs (for example along edge the blade) - this will result in artifacts when baking the normal map. Using the "Auto Smooth" modifier, which shades edges hard by angle can easily introduce such cases that go… -
Re: Is Blender taking over the 3D industry?
Now studios whether big or small will usually calibrate production which best fits their individual business model because at the end of the day profit return impacts continued viability as a vendor. Also there's no doubting Blender's versatility can be a primary draw for both pro and indie alike. A couple of friends use… -
Re: Did your Christmas dreams come true?
Your terabyte is making my eyes go funny. I did rather well for myself: Living room setting - 2 arm chairs, 2 seat couch, coffee table, rug to replace my old worn out futon. I could probably almost bring myself to invite people in to my little rathole now. Box of assorted modelling knives. Oh so many knives. I can't… -
Re: Michael Milette's Portfolio
I know you're probably not trying to do this exactly, but just some details that were bugging me. Aesthetically: The curves of the back are fairly specific, they make a very classic shape, similar to a Fleur-de-lis almost. Also the seat you have modelled is very round, this would be fine if you're making the chair new, but…
