Re: Lars Homestead WIP
It depends on what your goal is for the scene. If it's for a more cinematic or next gen scene, then it's too low. If it's for low poly games, then it's too high. You need more chamfers on the edges of things - particularly the steps, edges of the buildings, and the cliffside where it drops into the hole. I would also look… -
Re: [Portfolio] Gary Matthews - Environment Artist
The third and sixth projects seem unfinished, and I'd recommend pulling them down until you've added their textures. The final project, the rock textures, doesn't seem to add anything that isn't covered by your scenes; I'd recommend pulling that as well. Remember that with a portfolio, it's quality rather than quantity… -
Re: biggest douche in the universe nominee...
Foehammer: The fact is, the Clinton administration was much tougher on terrorism and a better watchdog against terrorist activities than the pre-9/11 Bush administration. In fact, I firmly believe that 9/11 would not have been allowed to happen if Florida had gone to Gore in 2000. We'll never know, but there is now way you… -
Re: will the next photoshoppee actually be awesome?
anyone remember CS3's 3D paint? how awesome that was. or their first effors at their "brush-engine" years back. edgy paintstrokes. kewl. and that you now have even more camera support - like millions of models i'll never own. fixed screen colors that look nice on a mac where you can't customize anyway, not so nice on a… -
Re: XForm Screwed me
Here's the old method of resetting incorrectly-mirrored bones. Not sure if it still works, good luck. 1. Bake all the vertex weights in Skin, save the weights, delete the Skin modifier. 2. Turn off the bone properties for all the bones (in bone tools). 3. Select the top bone in the chain. 4. Reset scale (in bone tools), do… -
Re: Good headphones around $50.?
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=110&code=023 I got these, they are real 5.1 headphones (no emulation). The surround sound is quite good (although not perfect) and the general sound quality is good enough for normal music and gaming (don't expect high quality headphones for music listening though). Comfort… -
Re: Good looking baked lighting, reflections etc
Agreed that a GI bake will help. A trick I use too, is to apply a subtle gradient map, working planar on UV2, black at the bottom of the model (although you won't want this affecting the wheels), white at the top. Full self illumination, then render to texture to your UV1 mapping. take the resulting map of your gradient… -
Re: (MEL) unable to group uvs based on Area(Size)
thanks for the tip. I will double check on the sorted list part. Yeh i wish mel has tuples. not sure why they dont have it. So from what I understand is you put both the shells and the area together into the tuple and sorted it? If you dont mind i have another question. How do you separate numbers and group them. for… -
Re: My Cavity Map Notes:
I baked the normal map in xNormal with +x +y +z. In the cavity settings, it was set to +x +y +z. There are 7 different methods that can be used to calculate a cavity map xNormal, each of which produces a different result. It is counterintuitive to have to invert the y channel within the same program. There was no real… -
Re: Friday the 13th
I had nothing happen to me at all. My mom, a waitress and bartender who has been conditioned by her business to believe in such things, is scheduled to call me tonight by 7 or 8 to ask what horrific things have happened to me today. When I say "... nothing, as usual ...", she will launch into her part of our tradition,…
