Re: digital tutors
Digital Tutors is awesome! Their vids are the easiest to follow and understand - especially for someone new to 3D. And they cover all the programs I'm trying to learn right now. I am thinking of getting my own subscription as well - after hand-in, move-out, and finding a semi-reliable source of internet (aka September). -
Re: Long Zbrush Boot times
Hey y'all! thank you for the replies. I ended up just reinstalling it. I tried y'alls suggestions' but they didn't work D: . I"ll just chalk this one up as an L, cause I still didnt figure out the main issue, but alas. Its working now. Thanks though :) -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
As a side note, if im understanding this correctly, in a way Maya's cage does control ray direction, when you have hard edges (Maya) (aka a smoothing group for Max users like myself)? Or do you just mean select "averaged normals" in Xnormal and that you don't have to use the cage? -

Re: Help a maya newbie plz!
aha! thanks, you see i was using shift+i which is the shortcut hotkey to isolate selection but Ive still found no shortcut hotkey to unisolate selection. I guess the button on the viewport will have to do for now, would be better if I could just hit shift+i again to reveal all. -
Re: [UE4] Distance Based Texture Tiling
Aha yeah, the uniform colour is definitely a more performant solution, but on cliff faces like in the video it would be pretty visible until you get really far. And it's pretty expensive in engine, on one of my materials (that has other nodes as well) I'm getting 500+ instructions. Will try to make this more performant! -
Re: Are automotive designers for popular vehicle manufactures making cars more difficult to model.
Aha I see. I figured that it had to do something with better technology. It's just very difficult (or even impossible) to get certain creases on the car and make it a curved shape and the end. Thanks for the information, as a car designer, can you give me some 3D modelling tips? Much appreciated. :smile: -
Re: Artwork stolen ?
2 of the other works are ripped from my friend Michael Kingery (aka Legato) http://legato895.deviantart.com/gallery/ I just emailed Mike. Cheap or 3D guy, can you post this on the BU board? Rip this guy a new one. I want him IP banned from BU. -
Re: Normal Maps Again
You have Max. Ben Cloward supports DXT5_nm compressed vs. TGA non-compressed, so you can compare them with your own models. http://www.bencloward.com/shaders_NormalMapSpecular.shtml 3Dc (aka BC5 in DX10) is really really close to uncompressed in quality, you would be hard-pressed to see the difference.
