Re: Transformers Animated
Let us end this now, once and for all shall we? Whenever someone says "This is not Gen 1, Prime was also a Firetruck in RID, he was also a monkey in Beast Wars so don't expect him to be like G1" And that kinda crap I just want to stuff my fist in my mouth...

Re: Geri0n's Work
You should think about toning the spec down on your barrel. make it 1/4th as shiny as it is now. I would also bring the glossiness down as well. Good rule of thumb: Surfaces that are 100% smooth have the highest amount of gloss, because they reflect light perfectly. This is why polished marble reflects light so well --… -
Re: Portfolio Pimp
Oh, and Jess, as far as applications go, I've sent quite a few out lately...but I've only got 1 solid lead so far.

Re: Alphas blurry on mesh!

There is no way you're going to get sharp edges on that text unless it has significantly higher texel density. If you're at 4k there and have about 16 pixels (at best)… -

Re: My Textures Suck Character Texturing Crits
Three very quick tips: 1 - think in terms of light, not in terms of color. Light dictates shapes. You can describe any shape just by describing its illumination, from spheres to knife-edged creases. The sharper the transition between light and dark, the sharper the edge. 2 - Don't use pure white or pure black except in the… -
Maya - Displacement map clamping problem
I'm gonna be straight ahead: Maya isn't loading my textures. it doesn't matter if 32bit or 16 bit .tif or .png. Sometimes, depending on the configs it loads but then, my displacement maps get darker values clamped out in a sort of "water level". I've already done the measures that would fix it - as I'm using UDIMs, I have… -
