Re: ZBrush 3.5 Announced
Will be interested to see what they've done to improve the tool/subtool palette and what this "improved navigation" is. If it means no longer needing to do the "ALT press/drag mouse/ALT release" dance then I'll be happy. AO baking will be awesome, provided the quality is ok, which at this point I'd hope nobody can get… -
Re: Height based Texture Blending in 3dsmax?
Sorry for the delay. Here it is. https://youtu.be/QPQFBK4d0as Small walkthrough on how to setup the basic, communication between painter and shader is a simple construct to manage. Link to max scene: https://github.com/gkmotu/ArnoldSceneConverterScripts3DSMAX/tree/master/Scenes And you should see something like this, there… -
Re: TetraPaint - 3D Painting application
Hey S-S! Thanks for the feedback - 1. Couldn't get picker work Tried all kinds of Photoshoppy ways to set source, tried on layer and base layer of space pirate girl demo model. Maybe this could be clearer how it works. *Do you mean the color picker? Or the direct select tool? I'm not sure I'm following what you're trying… -
Re: Game rendering definitions on the wiki
Great idea Eric! This is tough stuff to explain but hopefully collectively we can get some good info here. There is a lot of misunderstanding in this area and it would be great to have a resource like this to share with my fellow artists at work. Maybe i'm off-base here, I don't know how we run the polycount wiki, but I… -
Re: Failed
I think the latest post effects are overdone, but overall the iteration & composition + colors of the second page is a lot nicer What I do not like is the foreground and the addition of vignette, id tone that down, you now have the curtains effect, which is used to show secrecy or something hidden or mysterious, while the… -
Re: Specular map question
[ QUOTE ] [FatAssasin] Okay, now make the specular highlight bigger to cover a greater area of the face using a smaller bump map. That's the theory right? I guarantee it's not going to happen. [/ QUOTE ] Right, but it's not gonna happen because software lighting doesn't emulate real-world lighting properly. There's a lot… -
Steam Account Stolen - Then Returned
Strange things happens... Well, it goes like this; last night, one of my guys on steam friends contacted me with a link to a... Phishing website. It was very late in the night so, naturally, having been modellling for quiet some time, my eyes lulled and I didn't manage to spot the signs as I entered my details. A few… -
Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
I thought sculpting and baking was in vogue these days for plenty of environment art assets, at least where budgets are higher? I guess depending on the studio size you may do more or less of certain tasks too. Ie, concept artists might do blocking out and some level design, while in bigger studios each part is more split… -
Re: Forest Environment
Hey Cody, Unless the Alpha of your mask texture contains the mask, you will see a solid result. There are three approaches to take here: 1. Plug either the Red, Green, or Blue channel from your mask texture into the OpacityMask slot (since each channel in your mask texture contains the same information, you would get the… -
Re: no games use coloured specular
Xoliul, define overboard? :) what I am saying is that a team needs to be organized enough to know its limitations. If your not using a deffered renderer, dont have massive issues with texture lookups or the number of shaders/functions per shader then why limit yourselves? Work to your limitations but also work in a…
