Re: sort of motivational post... sort of.
well, i'm juggling 3 things right now... listed in order of priority: 1. short term contracted stuff (ie. developer wants something yesterday, so i have 24 hours to make it or the world explodes). these can come up at literally a moments notice. 2. medium term contract work, and Cape Chronicles . medium term stuff is… -
Re: Sharing render load
Nope, CPU bound I'm afraid, so there isn't really anything else you can do, unless as Monster, said, use iRay, which is silver only as far as quality goes while Mental Ray is gold (if you get my gist). The best solution is batch rendering, I did this not too long ago on 2 PC's, I basically divided my animation into frames… -
Re: [Finished] Sci-Fi Control Panel in Substance Designer
Finished material. Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag: Overall, creating this material was a fun learning experience. Below are things I learned that you might find useful: 1. Avoid heightmap intersections if you can. One mistake I did here was that the edges of certain shapes and the shapes beside them were slightly… -
Re: Fantastic Four
I honestly cannot understand the beef you guys have with daredevil. I can't remember much about the movie but do remember being blown away by the attention to detail in the audio / visual. I watched fantastic4 just now, thought it was a good romp but to be honest the sound track really killed the whole thing for me about… -
Re: If you could only choose three...
My top 3 for art technique / theory / method are; 1.Character Design Bibles volumes 1-5 (there were only 5 volumes ever published, but it's basically techniques / methods described in detail for the production of character design as done by some of Japan's top character designers. 2.Digital Character Design & Painting: The… -
Re: Rage tech/workflow?
1. If the source art is low res to begin with then its going to look low res even when transferred into virtual texture data. 2. When they showed the tools a long time ago all the stamping and stuff was non destructive so changing things could be done without too much work I guess. 3. In the promo builds they probably used… -
Re: max 2008 unwrap uvw
You might be able to improve this really easily, depends how the Max 2008 unwrap ui is handled. Here's how I did it in Max 8 with Chuggnut's tools: 1. Open up 3dsmax/UI/Macroscripts/Macro_UnwrapUI.mcr 2. Look for the line where it says "macroScript OpenUnwrapUI" ... again dunno if this is just Chuggnut's tools or Max… -
Re: Walk Cycle Animation test
Lot of problems here... But I think the two fundamental ones are: 1. Posing is poorly defined; nothing ties together which results in there being no clear sense of purpose to this walk. 2. No sense of weight. The hips are totally rigid. No x-trans. No y-trans. No rotation. There are also some further technical issues,… -
Re: Female Character WIP
Ok, i've been looking at various ways of doing the crazy hair she has, and have come to three different directions: 1: Sculpt the hair in Zbrush using zsphere strands. 2: Sculpt in zbrush using high density model plus snakehook tool. 3: ignore hair in zbrush and go straight to photoshop with flat planes on the haid for… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
Hey, back for another day kickin' ass and makin' frames. I find that I start a piece trying to work up from blocking but I quickly end up switching to all out madness, throwing frames around wildy. Is there a way in Max to like turn off tweening? Or if for example I want to have 3 poses that switch at 5 and 10 frames. Do I…
