Alphas alphas alphas. I'm guessing you are trying to achieve the same look by just sculpting everything in right? Nah. Very little of the detail is actually sculpted on a per object basis, because that would take too much time! Look closely and you can probably spot the repeating patterns used. What I would do (I'm no Orb,…
I agree, that is a bit more 1930's art-deco meets 1830's steam punk. I don't see a whole lot that says 1950's. In the 50's they where heavy on "the future" "the jet age" sleek designs that would later inspire the "rocket/space age" in the 60's. The US was largely untouched by WW2 and didn't have to focus on reconstruction…
The entire alien Covenant spaceship had barely any hand painted things on it. I setuped the mari archive allowing texturing it without any brush strokes. The only ones we did was to apply all the stickers and some specific dirt / stains on certain modules at the end of production. Most of the movie it's bare mari…
Hi folks. Sprite Lamp author here. Forgive me if I'm slightly incoherent, and if I don't follow up on conversation in a timely fashion - it's the middle of the night here. So basically, as you say, you can paint normal maps. :) I know of at least one 2D-with-lighting project where this is what the artist has been doing up…
Thanks! I don't have any wires on me at the moment. I could look into grabbing some screens, but I'm not sure how useful they'd be. A lot of them would just be incomprehensible. We were under pretty short timeframes for these scenes; we rarely had more than a week. The workflow that tended to work best was often to throw…
That pistol grip is really, really bugging me. 30 seconds of holding on to that pistol grip, and the user is going to be more inclined to throw the gun at the enemy than torturing his fingers by holding it any longer. Plus, the vents, piping and general detailing on the front suggests a LOT of heat buildup. There's not…
my dad has the most extreme dyslexia one has ever encountered, made for a hard life for him, especially as it wasn't diagnosed or even medically understood while he was at military school. His dad pretty much abandoned his mum and his sisters when he was young, and unfortunately the same happened to me and my sister when I…
Some serious LOL's coming from the Lesnar haters in this thread. The dude is A.) Champion and B.) Entertaining to watch. I pretty well got my money's worth in his fight alone. I'm with Jesse. I'm not sure which fight was watched, but there was no way Mir had the upperhand at any point in that fight. I almost wish he had…
My

have spent much of my time figuring out how to bring imaginative and
engaging animated content to the internet in a way that gives value
to consumers and especially to creators. The

So lets say, you use photogrammetry/scanning of a "flat" (ground) surfaces like ehm.. ground :-), or a brick wall etc. - somewhat "flat" surfaces. You want to make them tilable - ALL the maps (diffuse, normal, displacement etc.) What programs to use to make the process of making them tileable as EASY and as fast as…
