Most large studio workflows are designed to be simple and repeatable because most people are not exceptional. Even something as simple as manually weighting normals is a risky move unless you have a robust review culture. (It can't be tested with tools so you're reliant on people for validation) Concern yourself with being…
Hi! Certainly a simple example would be best way to get familiar with how tangent space normal maps look/ behave and to set things up in the soft that's being rendered in. Checking the shared Painter file, it looks like the seam showing in that face area is exacerbated by seams/ discontinuity in the curvature map (and as a…
Thanks dude :) Spent today getting it rigged and on the dude, then spent some time trying to match the texture to one of their darker Agatha helmets. Just got to do a hand painted wear pass over bits and a little cleanup tomorrow i think, then Package for hand-in (OMG FAINT)
Hey guys, I'm trying to fake a void/hole in my personal project. I have a negative height value, full roughness value and pure black. However I am confused about whether to give it a 0 or 1 for the metallic value. My intuition is to naturally give it a non-metallic value as there is nothing metallic about it, however to me…
Is there anyway to apply one material to the object in one view-port and a different material in a different view-port? or have x-ray mode only effect specific meshes? what I'm trying to do: In persp mode I want the mesh to have a normal lambert so I can see the model easily for modelling, but in my side view-port I want…
lololol I used to be a narcissist.. thought it would help me get girls.. then I realise you just have to be fat bald and loaded .. well two out of three aint bad..
I also can't answer for directly in max but you could bake that to a flat plane and then just apply it as a tiling texture. You'll get more non-destructive iterative power that way too.
Derp Derp Double post!. I've started on work on the texture, I really need to get the model into the Editor before I do anymore work on it, so I'm going to focus on that now.
Congratulations man! I hope all goes well! I'm working on getting myself out there as well, still no job. I wouldn't mind hearing about the whole experience. Keep on rock'n.
Brad, Good luck at blizzard man. I am sad I didn't get a chance to stomp your ass in Magic The Gathering. Someday we shall meet again on the field of battle.
