Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge February 2014 (16)
Hell yeah thanks KB. I manage to tweak my scenes settings to regain the colors with linear and it does just feel nicer to load assets into it now. I had another try and the rock faces, seeing as i want to get my surrounding core geo down asap. I feel like i can get out of this blobby phase with Sculptris, no matter what i… -
Re: The Hounds Pit Pub-Dishonored
My first question would be are you making it all game rez for a reason if you are rendering in Mental Ray? If you are not, my first thing would be throw more pollys all over that scene, try to get the edges of the geo to match real world reference and switch over to Mia_material_x. -need to get falloff on your shadows… -
Re: How much money?
@Farfarer - Ouch! That process seems quite convoluted even if it had gone smoothly! I bet your finace/ wife loved you for that little mishap! I always seem to have bad luck with these sort of official document situations (the rigmarole I ahd to go through to get my passport renewed, a few days before flying out to the MS… -
Re: Education (university and work experience)
I went to the Art Institute of California - San Diego. While a lot of stuff I learned was self taught I did get a lot of connections that helped me get industry leads. I think that was worth a lot of money on it's own. I attended GDC and other conferences for free, even had a free GIGA Pass this year. The point with those… -
Skybox layered 360 matte paint - workflow questions
Hi everyone! I have been looking to do some skybox art myself and I have some questions about the workflow, specifically about how it is all set up in 3d.

Re: the *ART JAM* - please join in :)
I like to use topogun though I haven't updated so I have similar problems were verts get stuck to other areas so I'd just turn of any wrapping extrude the area and reimport the mesh to the reference it usually works out well if not topogun allows you to move things around easy enough to correct these errors even though a… -
Re: ANIMATION, GAMING studio artists WATCH OUT.-Stephen Silver
Asking about core hours just helps you figure out where their focus might be. Staying later than the boss, just warming a chair OR focused on the final result. If everyone leaves at the same time, it makes it easier for the culture of martyrdom to exist and easier for new people to fall into the trap of staying late just… -
Re: Star Wars - Redemption ( FanMade Project )
It's always a pleasure to help ! So I'm using the exact same brush logic to do all my hairstrands. I say "logic" because I've found two methods to get the same result, it depends on my mood I guess haha. So here it is : - Get the curvetube brush - turn down the brushmodifier to 5, so you'll have 5 sides instead of a… -
Re: Trying to make a fur material.
Gave up on rendering hair with max. I tried simply painting fur layering dark grey to light grey on a black background. I then used that as a heightmap to overlay detail on the heads normal map and bloody hell that worked really really well. No idea that simple drawn details would work so well, looks much better then… -
Re: Building a P4 machine
Actually the next Intel and AMD lines have been tested already, and intel is ahead considerably. The new chipset is due this fall if you can wait that long. AMD prices should plumet with the release. I'm a systems engineer if you have any specific questions. 800 bucks wont get you much i'm afraid. Not enough for a decent…
