Re: Latest Character
Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback. Good points on the doodles. The whole things textures were done pretty fast so youre all right on that count, they do feel weak now that its been pointed out to me. I think in my haste the lighting wasnt done as well as I would like either. Im going into a coma this weekend to celebrate… -
Re: art test wip (update: with reflection map ?)
In the hypershade window scroll down through your "Create Maya Nodes" bar on the left of the window until you get to a closed submenu titled "Env Textures" click the one you want to use (based on what your reflection map is), then connect it to your Blinn materials "reflected color" attribute. When you've done that double… -
Re: Current Gen Rigging
animatr: My guess is that the vertex shader would be too intensive to be practical to handle so many bones and shadow casting as well. Is this right? As far as the Skin Modifer, no, that's not true... I know sometimes there are issues with stencil shadows (done on the CPU) and hardware vertex deformation (done on the GPU).… -

Re: public speaking
Hey man, awesome stuff. Speaking can be perdy fun, if nerve racking. Some advice though, lots of notes and slides is definitely not key. Makes ome key notes for yourself, a short jot for every point you need to talk on to remind yourself what all you need to cover. Print it in very large easy to read lettering so you can… -
Re: Trying to get a better understanding of baking normals
So i got bored doing my current thing and i wanted to see if the 12 sided issue could be used at all. If you are restricted in whatever you are attempting it can be done but i guess it doesn't look all that, but then again its just a cone/drum, didn't add handle or this wouldn't have been as fast as it was. Before… -
Re: Slow Viewport Performance 3DSMAX 2011 with complex materials
Turning off the Viewport transparency from Best to None solved it. 4FPS --> 40/50FPS. Viewport Configuration --> Transparency None -
Re: Modelling myself...
Well, I'm done messing with the geometry and have the UV's laid out and ready to go. About adding edgeloops: I agree. Spots that I think I should of added them are around the wrists, elbow, and added one to the shoulder to top of the arm area. (Thanks poop for point that out). However, I'd like to keep moving with this and…
