Re: Ghost Rider Teaser
yeah was checking it out last night.. i also found this short little FX clip from the movie.. http://www.superherohype.com/news/featuresnews.php?id=3717 thing i noticed that bugged me a little was the light the fire produces on the body is a constant orange, where as real fire light flickers because the source is always in… -
Re: maya additive and multiplicitive materials
Ah ok. Well, exactly how important is it to you that what you get in a render is replicated in the viewport? 'cos (as Im sure you know) mayas viewport rendering capabilities just about suck. I think that when I die I will still be angry about the fact that I need 3 entirely different shaders for normal mapping for… -

Re: CoD:MW2 PC version capped at 9v9 for MP
As far as I am concerned. This game is the same old shit that has been released since COD1. Hold gun up>Shoot bad guy>Move to next checkpoint. (Boring)...:poly131: I won't argue for the sake of what the player count has scraped itself to. But what I will say is that as a gamer. The industry sucks today because it's serving… -
Re: Need to update my detail sculpting abilities. Any advice?
for me nothing beats having a little 3d head handy ie a real model from forbidden planet or similar. being able to constantly rotate the model is so much better than having one static view. side and front planes are obviously a good start for a 3d head, but there is so much more to make a good sculpt. Looking at fx artists… -
Re: Hello. Which is preferred? A Specialist or a Generalist?
Specialization, i'd say is the key... If you want to be enough good in a certain area, you need to focus on one point. A generalist usually know how to do almost all things involved in 3d but not at the same level as a specialist (specialists do better works and fastest imho, they are specialized hehe). I don't know a… -
Re: Substance Designer - How to approach recalculating the normal map?
Thanks for your answer @poopipe !! I tried that allready, but the main problem with it was that the "normal rotate" makes use of a pixel processor, while the tile sampler utilizes an fx-map. Sadly as far is i know they don't work together (I might be wrong there though!). I ended up converting the normal into a height and… -
Re: starfield in maya
Use a directional light for the sun. http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2012/en_us/index.html?url=files/Create__Lights__Directional_Light.htm,topicNumber=d28e567245 If the backsides are too dark, for example if there are nebulae or other light sources nearby, then duplicate the sun and rotate it 180 degrees and… -
Re: Minimalistic diorama - Wizard study
Thanks! That fire animation is actually the FX for an aura for the game I'm working on, but I chucked it in there. Nice advice, and yes it's not like this is the final level of skill for me, but more that I felt I had achieved what I wanted to do here, and that was to model a small scene. I learned a lot of neat things… -
Re: [Maya CGFX] Photoshop psd file loses alpha channel
this is what michael "zacker" schmidt and i found out (which will get you a bit further but not entirely there) 1) Double click the psd file node in the hypershader 2) In the attribute editor below the path to the psd file you will see an option called "alpha to use". 3) Open the dropdown where it says "default" and choose…
