Re: Oceanic Experiences
Ouch! I've done surfing in Hawaiia and around the Santa Cruz, CA area... Hawaiia's so much nicer; not just because of the warmer waters, but the other riders aren't wave-stealing jackasses. Used to boogie board almost every summer when I was younger. I've had more fun on lakes over the past few years. On an scout trip to… -
Re: how to make a light actually emit light. 3ds max
I use two spots to do a bulb. Both are attenuated so that they dont take too long to render. One is the light emitted from the bulb, the other points backwards and lights the light object. The light bulb element is self illuminated mesh. I also sometimes make a special render where I give everything in my scene a black… -
Re: Hacker Chara.
Super nice! You sir, are a master of wrinkles... wherever there is cloth.. viv is there, making sure it flows majestically as if it was guided by tiny wrinkle spirit fingers (that is how cloth works in real life right?). ... which makes me wonder, you even nicely treated the elbow but the face looks so smooth! There's… -
Re: What texture map helps to maintain visibility of details in distance?
I don't know Houdini, but a quick search found this thread and this thread looks promising too, It's a common concept in 3d in general to do various effects based on distance. Artistically speaking, I can see why you would want to show the detail you've sculpted. But objects appearing to lose detail is part of real and… -
Re: Next...
[ QUOTE ] The body of the last contest isn't even cold yet, and you want to move on to her sister? You sir, are my hero. [/ QUOTE ] lol I was thinking the exact same thing! still, strike while the irons hot! as they say. Just to add my two cents about challenges; we always go with public opinion. Sometimes my judgement is… -
Re: Bioshock... Warning, here be spoilers!
There is plenty of anti-religious content in some areas the game. That guy Motz mentioned was crucified presumably for trying to smuggle bibles into Rapture. In that level there are crates and crates of bibles and crucifix's marked as seized illegal contraband. Though the game itself doesn't advocate anti-religious… -
Re: Yacht Render - First post
Looks like your getting some smoothing errors were the circle in the front part of the boat is. Pineapple pizza has more life to it then your lighting too. Either put some pineapples into the scene or increase the brightness and contrast to it so that it wont look so dull (I recommend the latter ;] ) Guard rails seem a bit… -
Re: Q4 Patriot
[ QUOTE ] I ended up using two random signs for now, but I'm still very curious about the originals, and the meaning if any. Couldn't open your second link tho. [/ QUOTE ] Weird, i can open the link on 2 computers and counting. Anyways the second kanji is: "KAN Chinese, fellow JLPT Level 3 Jouyou Kanji, Kyouiku Grade 3" I… -
Re: Police Sprinter
[ QUOTE ] rooster -every 3sec. the METRO switches to POLICE (you can see that in the bottom two pics). I was thinking of having it rotate through 'police' in different languages but adding a 1024x1024 img for every one would have been too heavy. [/ QUOTE ] have you considered re-uv mapping the model and adding a second,… -
Re: WIP: UT3 Vehicle ( Mechwalker )
My two cents come from a practical point of view rather then a technical/normal maps etc point. With the cockpit so high, open and exposed, the pilot is a huge target for sniper and stray gunfire. The 'arms' the guns are mounted on feel like they are far too wide out from the rest of the body and also are a good target for…
