Re: Showreel compression grief
Just a few additional thoughts: You don't need to be running at 30fps - this is waste. You can get by with smooth video at 24-25 fps. Additionally, I've had a lot of luck encoding w/ Quicktime using the H.264 codec using AAC for audio. This can be done w/ Quicktime Pro or software like Camtasia. With the settings below,… -
Re: anyone hear about the alien prequel?
when artistic directors are young....they seem to make more daring choices ie: ridley scott w/blade runner and alien. same for steven speilberg w/jaws and close encounters. as people get older...they tend play things a little safer...it's happened w/the majority of directors and other artists. stanley kubrick was one of… -

Re: UVPackmaster 3 - GPU accelerated UV packer for Maya and Blender
I'd love to see an update as well, but I agree that the current version for Max is already great and understand there might not be a lot of demand. You can group islands in the UV editor or do name selection sets on a per face basis for editable poly or mesh objects, but both are fairly fleeting. Another more permanent… -

Re: WIP: Sig 551 model & textures
YEah, and thicken that trigger guard. It's just not going to read that thin. It's a nice model, my issue is mainly with presentation. Turn off toolbag's skybox background so we can better see the high poly and reduce the saturation of color in the lighting. Currently looks like you're only using the sky's light source atm… -

normal map baking: reason for exploding elements / matching material IDs?
Noob questions. I watched that old Racer445 video on baking normal maps in Max. In it, he explodes (separates) various elements of his model before baking a normal map. I learned soon after that there's a much easier way to accomplish the same thing w/out exploding, by assigning matching material IDs to elements in your… -
Re: Advice & Critique for kitchen props scene

Where it was a bunch of props laid out on a table. These were the techniques that helped me push more story telling into my shots and hope they can also help…
