Re: How important is travel?
I think earthquake used the right word. I personally wouldn't put the emphasis on 'travel', but more on 'experiences', or 'perspective'. I think the misconception is most prevalent in your post about if seeing images on a monitor is the same as seeing them in person. It's not about 'seeing things', either way, it's about… -
Re: Difference between Substance Painter's "Average Normals" baking and a traditional cage workflow?
Ok so I tried with floaters and got the result that @Quack! said. Average normals produced skewed details, as did the Max cage version. The non-average bake had less skewed (but not perfect) float details, but noticeable seams. Also worth noting that the problems displayed before on the Max bake on the right side now… -
Re: Seem placement options?
Overlapping a symmetry uv is good to get a more higher texture density on other unique bits, but don't over do it cus you might get an artifact of what we call 'butterfly effect'. It's when you can see the pattern on you texture mirror right at the center of your mesh. For hands/ legs for example it's hard to tell since… -
Re: Traditional 2D art is... weird
Team Fortress 2 comes very close to this; the environments aren't very detailed for a modern game and it has broad, visible brush strokes. Characters, on the other hand are sharp and detailed. The result is that your eye is drawn towards the important things. Mirror's Edge is another example... Gears and UT3 are the exact… -
Re: A level! Oasis - mjl86
Some small things that I noticed: Those pillars that carry the cables of the bridge do not fit the style of the large columns below. In the last shot you showed us, the bridge itself looks way to even for the eye and then suddenly it falls down. I suggest that you either make it look torn apart to fit the 'ruin' style of… -
Re: Cyborg Assault SWAT Woman
Hey man this is looking really awesome! I was writing up some things to try to help with the lighting, but it was easier to just do a paintover, hopefully this helps. I think the biggest thing for the me is the composition and lack of a strong key light. My eye keeps wanting to go the strong hot highlight on the handles,… -
Re: Clipping polygons vs. one mesh
You also have to worry about vertex lighting. With the clipping example on the right, you have one vert hidden inside of a cylinder, which would shade the triangles darkly. In some cases it could be exactly what you want, in others probably not. With that vert in the center there's a good chance you will get whats on the… -
Re: My new set up
the split keyboard idea came from using the set up, a keyboard under the cintiq would be impossible to use unless i had tyrannosaurs rex arms, my body is touching the bottom of the desk so unless my arms were 2 inches long and growing out of my ribcage it would not be very comfortable at all. while working i just tried to… -
Re: 3d Max UI customization and Zbrush shortcuts
hmm I'm not sure there is such a thing as cheat list for Max. I think they left it open mostly, although there are a few command that you can find which really sucks. I just mapped all the commands I use the most to epoly, emesh, etc. A turns on angle snap S turns on 3D snap Epoly commands I have mapped Cut =alt c Target… -
Re: A question for the mechanically (cars) inclined
Well, I work for TRW Automotive's brake division, and not that I claim to be an expert, but I do know about brakes. First, you are correct about your suspicions... it is completely safe. Typically it is recommended to replace both sides at the same time whenever one side fails, if the failure is related to seal damage.…
