Re: Refinery Hallway Scene
Very well said Brandon :) I also like your suggestion oobersli. Right now I'm using custom lightmaps made within unreal (I didn't make a secondary uv channel for my models for lightmaps) so I don't know if that is having a big affect on why the object look likes its floating. I'll play around with it some more as well,… -
Re: Help required with a survey about modeling needed for scientific research..
What modeling application do you use? Softimage XSI What pluses and minuses does it have? Great, intuitive modeling package that is unbeatable with the right hotkeys set Why would you suggest it for a beginner? Its ease. Pit against a program like Lightwave or Maya, its the best modeling package. Not sure how it compares… -

Points taken! Thanks guys. More updates soon! -
Re: Houdini workstation build - looking for feedback
Thanks for the answers! I actually I did not really consider the ram limit much and it is unfortunate. I think I'd be fine with 128gb for some years though. In the end a final highres sim just needs to cache two frames, and Houdini can cache simulations onto disk if it needs to be. The thing is, once we talk about these… -
Demo Reel Critique
Hello all, Long time reader, first time posting here. So, I am nearing my graduation date and was getting critiques from some instructors and classmates and one classmate had suggested that put it up on here and ask for more critiques on my demo reel. This is my Proxy Demo Reel. It is a work in progress. Main part I am… -
Re: Is Fibermesh outdated to use now?
Fibermesh on its own never gave good results IMO. Perhaps it's a quick fix for those who don't want to or can't get their model out of Zbrush but it lacks so much control over every aspect of a hairstyle. Any groom done well you want to keep control over as much as possible not cross fingers when you set the strand density… -

Re: Pipe Dream Art Tests
Those cylinders are just clunky brush placeholders for a tank model. Anyway I agree that the scaffolding may seem a bit clunky at first glance, but it makes the environment much more interesting and open. Once there are pipes and tanks that match the style of them along with proper lighting I think they'll enhance the… -
Re: Sci-Fi Boiler Room (WIP) - need some feedback
Your lighting is very un-interesting and pretty much paint by numbers. Everything that has a glow, has the same amount and everything that can be on is on. I hate that.....Just do one control panel on your tanks, make that stand out and make it have a focal point. Use that to illuminate the area. The tanks themselves have… -
Re: Mentor
@Burpee Thank you, I'm thinking about checking it out. I have been hesitant because I wasn't sure if he talks you through what he is doing during the tutorial? Or is just like a speed sculpt with no instructional/step-by-step talking? I did find a helpful tutorial and was able to manage this after just a few times through.…
