Hi, I've just uploaded ratGPU here http://www.ratgpu.com ( yep, you'll be redirected by now to an xNormal's subdomain... I'm just lazy ) ratGPU is a free progressive OpenCL ray tracing renderer for 3dsmax. It currently works on Vista/7 and NVIDIA cards only. I've also tested it with ATI cards, but for some reason I cannot…
Hi all, I am thinking of getting a new tablet. I have read some articles and reviews and stuff, but none of them mention the most important thing for me. The feel of the pen touching the surface of the tablet. I am using Wacom Intuos 2 at the moment and it is annoying the hell out of me. I am a pretty good with pencil, but…
It's definitely a serious plea, at least that's how I saw it. Sounds like the OP has a clear enough head to avoid that though. You just have to get the hell out of that school in my opinion. Your teacher really has no clue, and sounds like an egotistical jerk with a negative attitude. I wouldn't pay them another cent. He…
Re-using 3-4 props does not make your scene modular. This is modular http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t2OvBekp7JQ/T4rhBBQC30I/AAAAAAAAAjI/0_pranG3Gsw/s1600/GOW3_mesh06_KevinJohnstone.jpg You really need some reference and stick to it. Your scene composition, lighting, and under developed skills are all over the place. Find an…
Yes, I know I'm against the curve there in a forum full of artists who usually seem to want everything presented in some sort of video format - but you can't go back to a 30 minute video and hit 'Ctrl+F' to find that small bit you were looking for. That's an absolute killer - like I said before, you just can't use it for…
debaser: I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 My thoughts on it are split about 50/50. Its good and its bad. I'll try to explain: good: yes the pen has pressure! thats f-ing rad! using photoshop touch and other drawing software is as close as you can get to portable Cintiq (as far as I know) bad: the pressure sensitivity isn't that…
Finished it last night. It kept me up till 3am and I never stay up that late @_@ I found a pretty major glitch though, I was doing the final battle and I died just after destroying all the ships and the game teleported me to a section of the level where none of my controls would respond. Reloading the save kept putting me…

C) Cooked some ground materials using Megascans Mixer. D) Decal shader for puddles is using 3three Vector3 nodes to generate 3 brown colors, and blended…
I did something like this recently, i had a lot of advice along the way and i felt like others could get some benefits from it too. Most of my sketches and rambling goes on in my sketchbook though, i feel like i can say things better via posting images as opposed to trying to explain my vague and erratic process.…
