Re: Helmet 3D Printing
The thread Eric pointed to is pretty good at explaining the basics of getting your 3d model ready for printing as well as the different types of materials and techniques. I noticed that there really isn't any information on how to price a model. First thing to consider, is the type of material and how much is going to be… -
Re: RAR! GROWL! SNAP!
I'd suggest just hand painting out the issues you're having. Once you let go of the idea that a bake has to be "perfect" your workflow decreases big time. So the ears are kinda funky? just paint 127 127 255 (numeric value of color) flat blue over them to fix it. If you want you can take a black and white image of fur and… -

Re: Custom Shader - Any way to access screen resolution / aspect ratio?
Ok, so I definitely hit a wall. No matter what I try I cannot pass uScreenTexCoordScaleBias into my function once i'm trying to do it in the diffusion subroutine instead of albedo. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I wrote the macro because I don't really understand how macros work... Either way, here's the code… -
Re: Rockstar San Diego
Maybe it sounds really stupid and only applies to certain places. What about just saying NO to 12 hours days when asked to do them? If a few respected and influential employees simply refuse to take in the crazy schedule (think ADs/leads/seniors), then certainly talks will happen and situation can start changing, at least… -
Re: Modo: Pixel Snapping UVs
To accomplish this I've set up a popup form that runs a set of scripts that: 1. Set the Coordinate Rounding to "Fixed" 2. Set the Fixed Increment to one of the following values: 0.125 = My modeling snap setting, I switch to this when not UVing. 0.03125 = 1 pixel on a 32 x 32 map 0.015625 = 1 pixel on a 64 x 64 map… -
Re: Laptops for 3d modeling and texturing
Yeah really when i think computers, $1500 is the max you should spend on a PC, $2000 the max on a laptop, and more realistically, $1250 on a PC and $1500 on a laptop to get something very very nice. I'm not a dell fanboy, all i'm saying is you can find issues with anyone, dell, apple, asus, etc. Nobody has a perfect record… -
Logitech Mx518 Gaming mouse OWNS me
This has got to be the best mouse I've ever used. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/produc...d=518LgPromoAMR Not only does it update 125x a second for super responsive movements, but the best part about it is on the fly DPI adjustment. OUt of the box it does 400, 800, 1600 without any drivers. That was a bit much for me,… -
BFA Character Game Modeling-W.I.P
Hi everyone! My BFA class is modeling some game characters that the visual developers in our class created. The main objective of this assignment is to be able to have it modeled, textured and hopefully animated by the end of two weeks. The modelers were given a tri limit of 1000 to 1250, since this character would be a… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
It looks like one solution to speed up the normal map baking could be to split up the rendering into workers (duplicate actors) rendering smaller sections, parallal. From what I see, reading the huge array of pixels is the bottleneck here. This is why it gets faster when its split up into smaller sections (shorter arrays).…
