Re: (UE4) Teaching an old dog new tricks! Landscape studies
From here I have started to mess around with what I might want the scene to be in the end. I went into this new scene pretty much open. I just wanted to get certain things working properly and ultimately start fleshing out a landscape eco system that i could just swap out assets and cut down on the time to create images… -
Re: Houses - Rent or Buy?
Let me get this straight, some of you are saying that house prices a lower than they should be? How do you figure that? House prices have been skyrocketing steadily since 1997 and they only got that way because of sub-prime mortgages and irrational exuberance. Thanks to that, it's better to buy now than to rent because the… -
Re: A little help from the experienced! Improving workflow for 3D characters
That and the other replies explains your situation better, cool. Yeah, there's a technical aspect to digital/3d that's simply unavoidable, but it gets better, and will continue to do so. But we still need to get through the learning and experience parts. I'm not a big ZBrush user, but I know there's some nifty pose tool… -
Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
In addition to what Hazardous has said, this is an aspect much more related to luck. For every hour of practice you put in, you can expect a concrete return of proficiency increase. Vs you could potentially go to every IGDA mixer in your area, and not make that magic moment happen where you swap awesome golf stories with… -
Re: Why don't big film studios just use Blender?
The thing to remember is that it's not always about matching feature for feature and the out-of-the-box price tag. The more larger VFX studios have now become global businesses, with multiple studios in multiple countries. Core to all that is having a pipeline and framework for making all that work. Studios have… -
Re: ZBrush - Timeline Question - The Art of Mechanics
You might be able to use Layers. You can then probably use timeline to keyframe the layer strengths for an even quicker swap. Just from a quick test though, this seems to work good for preserving masking but not so much for actual details; those could get warped as the other layer nears an extreme. An alternative would be… -
Re: The face of a terrorist!
:poly127: Okay enough about the design already. I've explained the situation several times. Raider i have his hands slightly incorrectly positioned in this image, thank you for catching that. If he gets rigged to hold a gun i want the cloth to hand downward off his wrist. Thank you Snake85027 you are absolutely right.… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
odium: I can read the differences between flat normal maps perfectly fine, and it's quite clear to me that there's a big difference between the normals found in the XNormal bake and the Max/renderbump bake. The most obvious part is on the left side, where max and renderbump have given a smoother gradient across 2… -
Re: A few problems I have with 3ds Max 2012
I probably didn't word that as well as I should of. Min spec is any DX9 compatible card with 256mb of ram or greater. Nitrous has higher requirements for some of its advanced features like realtime lighting and display of normal maps in the viewport. For general animation and rendering (typically fewer than 1,000 objects… -

Fine tuned optimization logic that works with curve length, scale, and amount. 3. Optimize Threshold allowing you to tweak how optimized the pipe is. 4. A settings menu that allows you to tweak Min and…
