Re: Answered: Color ID Masking
Try these steps for the painting disappearing: 1. Close Photoshop and the Suite. 2. Right click on Photoshop, choose Run As Administrator. This only needs to be done once, and does not need to be set to permanent administrator access. 3. Close Photoshop. 4. Run the Suite. If the issue persists, continue: 5. Close Photoshop… -
Re: Fighting Depression
I've been through some slow times, where it felt like I just wasn't good enough to get any work. I think most artists feel this if they're at all focused on getting better. Exercise helped me a lot, it's easy to get depressed if your energy level is low. Also going to tech social events, and forcing yourself to mingle and… -
Re: Uberren's Hand Painted Item Cart
I guess it's not the color. It could also be the value is so dark and the other parts of the cart get lighter towards the top. Judging by the textures the spikes get lighter towards the top within their local space, but are they lighter than the lower pieces of metal? Changing the background color did make something else… -

Re: Traditional Pencil/Paper Art - Beginner Requesting Help
Hearing that you put Loomis in the same bag as Deviantart, ctrlpaint and Betty Edwards is a bit of a red flag really. Have you read Loomis ? Not talking about copying random pages of heads found online, but actually reading what he has to say. Finding a good art teacher is indeed hard (you might luck out and find a gem in… -

Re: marmoset toolbag 3 shadow problems
A few things: 1. Use spot lights instead of directional lights. 2. Shadow maps are mapped to the entire scene, so if you've got some meshes off in the distance, hide them or get rid of them. 3. Adjust the width setting in the light properties to turn the light into an area light. This will enable you to blur the shadows… -
Re: Modern colour theory
Just to add onto the conversation about shadow colour. It is silly to bake down things like shadow colour to simple rules as it analyzes the problem in isolation of what is really happening in the maths. If you were to bake it to a rule, similar ambients to the local colour will boost shadow saturation while non similar… -
Re: Substance designer 4 lag..
Can you open the log in "C\Users\AppData\Local\Allegorithmic\Substance Designer\5\log.txt" and search for a line that begins with "[INFO][GlWidget]" ? It should indicate what graphics card your laptop is trying to run Designer with. We have seen issues with some NVidia drivers that were not properly signed, resulting in… -
Re: Up Vector?
Object Orientation is SORT of what your looking for. its the object's Z axis, not the worlds. So it will always be in respect to the object's local up. Which has its uses, but if you're looking to make some sort of deposition shader it might not do what you want. IE if you turn your rock upside down the snow will stay on…
