Re: Scaling Asorted Custom Models
What you need to be aware of is the concept of "object transformations". For instance, if you import a model into a 3d program and notice that it is opening as 10 times bigger than your reference character, you obviously want to scale it down but you also want to make sure to apply (also sometimes referred to as "reset")… -
Re: Mateba.
I now see why people love modo. max sucks with even the simple stuff in comparison...this link says it all. http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/10267/ I don't really model that way in max anymore but I could definitely have saved myself some headaches in the past. Oh well...max's crappy ability to handle… -
Re: Hand painted Bonner orc WIP
Some nice details on here so far. Bonner Orcs are cool. This should be really cool once it's finished. I guess the things that stand out to me are some contrast issues: The shadows under his arms and on the side of his torso are very dark. Same with between his legs (almost showing up completely black on my monitor). One… -
Re: Spec falloffs and reflection masks?
So, here's an attempt at creating these maps to create metal. I'm sure someone will say "if it looks good, it is good", and I agree, but I want to make sure I'm understanding the ideas/principles of the reflection mask, spec falloff, and spec intensity together. just to clarify my understandings.....the spec intensity is… -
Re: Hardware purchase query
@ryan: ah i see. will look into that. However, the macs i've seen lack the value for money i see in pcs. 1.1gs can get me a more powerful pc laptop than a mac laptop, for example. @vig: to be honest, i fully agree with you. desktops > laptops. I've always had custom rigs for my desktops, but now, in reality, i just want a… -
Re: Stupid Max Upgrade question.
The Portable License Utility, isn't meant so you can resell it. It's meant so you can port your lic between a few machines you own. Like your laptop and your desktop, or work to home for the weekend. The documentation and the way it works make it pretty clear that its not intended as a way to resell. The legal owner does… -
Re: Rent an artist?
That's an interesting idea and website. I think part of what separates actual coding vs. art is the final deliverable product. Anyone who has done outsourcing or freelancing knows that the client will always want iterations on the work. Code is code - does it work as it is supposed to? Not to say there aren't a lot of… -
Re: CON SPIR AH SEE!!!!!
I'm glad the legislature is now Democratic - an end to lunacy is in sight. The previous Congress did pass legislation on stem cell research however, which a certain monkey promised to and did veto based on his religious values. I look forward to a time when we have a chief that will make decisions based on the will of the… -
Re: Art Test
retleks: i figured you were modeling from a concept. i didn't mean to frazzle you with my comments - you handled it well after being bothered by it, i didn't mean to stress. it's hard to understand what people mean with when they rough type like this. i was trying to be critical and offer up some criticism so you could… -
Re: GONDI DesertTower (many large images)
Hey there, thanks for the crits! Vig I think you are correct sir. there are some defying gravity pieces. I actually had some more pillars in there holding this stuff up but it was harder to read, imo it looks better without, but ya floating things. maybe i could crash one into the other so they support each other... I do…
