Re: Aeris - FF7 Fan Art - Hand painted project
@VeryCrunchyTaco haha no worries. Take it as a "for future reference" type thing, but I think you could just push a stronger range of values and shadows in your textures, especially with the hair as it felt very much like a cap stuck to her, didn't feel like it was grounded or rooted in her scalp. The metals also show… -
Re: The Rydan Workshop deadline approaches
First of all thank you R13 and Adam for covering us in the news section. We really appreciate this. Tokoya, our Environment Class is definitely NOT canceled. In fact our waitlist for this class is already bigger than current class capacity. The class is temporarily postponed while our instructor Chiyo Lai is relocating for… -
Re: Low Poly Head...I think I finallly got it (??)
A little update here. Thanks for the feedback guys. Nitewalkr: I'm at about 1400-1500 Tris right now. P.S. You're from Sauga? Me too man, Winston Churchill n 403. Piflik: Instead of removing Geo I decided to add a bit, I don't really have a poly budget bud I've been modelling lately with the thought in mind of getting the… -
Re: Max/Maya users VS. Autodesk
Just to illustrate what a small fish max\maya is, I found this interesting. Autodesk Revenue by Division (in millions): 2008 YTD Design Solutions Segment $1,372 Platform Solutions and Emerging Business Division $734 Architecture, Engineering and Construction Division $343 Manufacturing Solutions Division $295 Media and… -
Re: Eye problem
First off it might be easier If you explain wether you are modeling for realtime or pre-rendered use, since they are very different. Also your app of choice helps. Eyeballs tend to have very small hi-lights with very abrupt specular falloff. So for starters you need to bring down the size of your hi-light, and make the… -
Re: Favorite Hotkeys and Preferences?
Here are some of my favorite Maya hotkeys. Most stuff is crammed around QWER so I don't have to move my hand very far, very often: * Alt + D : Delete history (on selected object only) * Shift + Q : Toggle Wireframe on Shaded * Ctrl + Q : Toggle Selection Highlighting * Alt + Q : Delete most recent construction history… -
Re: Sketchbook: kevlar jens
Thanks, Jeremy! I most definitely will. High school is *soon* a part of the past, only exams left now, and then I'll finally have all the time in the world to work on my art.

GI works for the sun only, it doesn't work for individual lights! It really doesn't add too much, the differences are minor, they're supposed to be, it's light bouncing not light casting, but their there. You can although, really pump up the GI strengh in the TOD. OFF: (0) ON: (1 = max) Values of 0.3/0.4 usually create… -
Re: New PC
If you aren't overclocking, I say ditch the expensive V8. It's louder than the stock, which is very nice and quiet. 128 gb of storage isn't much, so I would GUESS that you are also going to be using some external storage?? And if that's the case, why not save ~$75 and get this intel drive? It's only 80GB, but Intel is… -
Re: car scene
Looks like a GTO Judge? http://www.colinsclassicauto.com/detail.php?car=143 If it is, you need the hood mounted tachometer You might be able to scare up some more orthographic reference that could help fine tune the look. I'm not saying you shouldn't use the stylized ref you have, but car nuts will crit you to death about…
