Re: Feedback on Portfolio Site!
I was in the same boat as you, needed to make a site and really wanted to keep the url simple and without .wordpress or .webs etc in the name so i got my domain name and my hosting all set up and did what was in my best interest - i learned dreamweaver, or at least enough to get me by and get a functional site i knew… -
Re: The Last of Infamous
Your scene lacks contrast. The first time off you were going for a sunset feel, I think that you need a strong directional light with a tint of orange and have the ambient lighting of the dark areas set to a subtle blue-ish colour to avoid blackening of shadowed areas. Have a look at references of lighting, even from your… -
Re: Extremely disappointing results from Substance Painter
Seems like you've bitten off more than you can chew to be honest. I can assure you that painter works. I look after a lot of users (over 50) of varying experience and they all manage to get passable results out of it. baking is not straightforward in any software - tearing into something complicated before having a solid… -
Re: Lantern Prop - Material Practice
Oh sorry I just assumed it was Marmoset 2, my mistake, and I think sltrOlsson made the same mistake as well. For Marmoset 1 you will want to bake in some AO into the diffuse and spec map to get the best results. For the diffuse make it a darker color, like a dark brown, around 50 out of 255 so the metal will start to look… -
Re: What do you guys use to export animations from maya to Dota 2?
Thanks so much for your replies everyone! AndrewHelenek - What importer are you referring to? Spudnik - Luckily I am running 32 bit Maya2013, so that should have worked great! However I'm also running Windows XP, so what happened was when I went to run the runmaya_2013.bat file, I got an error saying that maya wasn't… -
Re: File types and Normal Maps
Sorry I've taken a bit to respond. So, my baking process is this: I have the full low poly, and I offset the mirrored UV's 1 space over. I make sure that I have no inverted faces in the UV (aside from the mirrored ones obviously), and I've reset all xForms. I then set up my cage (With export and import cage in Max), and I… -
Re: Movie theatre jerks.
1. Taking very small kids out anywhere is a crapshoot (no pun intended). You never know when something is going to set them off and the day will be blown. On the other hand, I've experienced the same thing with teenagers in tow also. The infancy of the home video rental business and the infancy of my children coincided.… -
Re: Do have the skills to see in 3d?
I dunno if it's my screen resolition or caues I've gotten older or what--but I used to be very good at magic eye, and I can't really get this stuff to work!! I used to have BOOKS and books of magic eye, and except for a few tricky ones, I could see them fine. Can't really get any of the images in this thread to work :( And… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
You know ... I've always considered in photo-sourcing some material but sometimes, I do feel a sense of guilt that I have cheated in a way when I do it but when I need to finish a project at a certain amount of time, sometimes, that's the way to do it. I'd say, if you can do more than just take a picture of someone's face… -
thinking about going full artstation and getting rid of the website
Has anyone just gone full artstation with their portfolio and gotten rid of their website? The only reason I'm hesitant is because my email is linked to my website and has been for 10 years now, but I'm sick of the high costs. I just wanted to see if anyone else has done this and how has it been with people getting in…
