So I have no problem hooking up 6 textures into a maya environment cube node and then plugging that into whatever part of the shader I want it to render on, let's say the diffuse. But the mental ray environment cube doesn't seem to work at all, I put my 6 textures in, plug its out colour in the diffuse colour and it…
@Swordslayer - Okay I made the script to print the last 6 actions to the listener since I dont have enough experience with maxscript to make a rollout with a working update button. Its bare bones but it works. When I hit a key I have Autohotkey set up to clear the listener window and hit the Undo Script button in the UI to…
@justin: it seems that my school (art institute of fort lauderdale) is SLOWLY leaning away from demo reels. they just now started to tell us we wont be needing an actual dvd to send to companies anymore, because companies dont want them. generally, they like to have us make demo reels to show during portfolio presentation,…
Hmm. i like that you put so much work into the outfits, but when you have so many options its kind of hard to pin-point which one looks the best out of all. But to kind of help narrow the options down i DON'T like number 5, i think the shorts are a tad bit weird in design. I like 2 and 6 the most, maybe 6 a little bit more…
@Svartberg : Cool, I personally think screenshots of a production is much more representative than portfolio pieces where the artist can have spent 6 months on a single candle-stick or whatever. And the amount of "cheating" you can do in personal pieces is alot higher, but I see where you're coming from ^^ I think it's…
Ben Aquna | Lamont: Thanks for the replies! I was using 7 gigs of RAM since I had an extra stick lying around. I recently added that seventh-stick too, so that might be the issue. I have switched it back to 6 gigs. I ran a memory check on my computer with the 6 gigs and I logged no errors. There is a command in Win7 to…
The depth in those scenes is fantastic. Nobody does matte paintings and integrates them into the scenery as well as Bungie. The new suit designs are also by far the best they have done. Not having read the books, the trailer reads to me like there is a team of 6 Spartans. I thought that the whole point of doing a game on…
hey hey hey I am taking it. I was being quite churlish with my other post, all jokes and stuff. To me I considered you a vet. I know your stuff from here and Tsumea, as well my housemate Tejay spoke quite highly of you (of course I hope I'm talking about the same Hazardous) So for a guy like me who's never got an industry…
As long as you get rid of 5 sided (or higher) polies, you should be okay. Tris are okay if you place them well. I try to keep them away from shoulder and hip deformations, but they are fine on elbows and knees. Make sure that you keep the tris the same scale as the quads around it. Don't make more that 6+ edged stars…
