This was taking into account his 140-160 of budget for a graphics card, because, if I look at the price tags, I have: Gigabyte GTX 750 Low Profile 2GB at 109.77 Sapphire R7 260X 2GB at 119.93 Gigabyte GTX 750TI OC 2GB at 136.65 Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X 2GB at 153.74 Palit GTX 960 JetStream 2GB at 195.22 Considering a…
Hey, I updated the geometry and I am now left with a Tricount of 3798. Do you think this is a more appropriate tricount? I punched down the Handles and some other pieces and cleared some surfaces to be flat and let the normal map do its job. There are still errors in the Normalmap which require fixing, but I will do this…
thank you very much for your detailed analytics. This High Poly is modeled in mind to get a nice bake from it. That's why there are no ridges on the lower heat shield, because i'm sure, PS will do a better job. And i know some proportions are off, unfortunately, i guess it would be a pain in the ass to fit those. An image…
@FinnIsengardt I haven't done too much with the lighting. I've got the directional light at all the defaults except I turned the temperature on and set it to 3760ish. And then I added an exponential height fog at a .02 density. I did go into the world settings and change the Static Lighting Level Scale to .1 and Lighting…
I got the Low-Poly for the outer rim in now. Seems to be working out pretty well. There is a bit of stretching on the UV's near the very top sections, but I am willing to take it and work with it. Took a bit to figure out exactly how I was going to do a few sections. What it ended up being was the low-poly is broken up…
whats the big deal with the money, a proper phenom II + biostar board is also pretty fast + isnt as expensive as the intel counterpart http://www.alternate.de/html/product/CPU_Sockel_AM3/AMD/Phenom_II_X4_965/378971/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=CPU&l2=Desktop&l3=Sockel+AM3
So at work we make money doing this, I have found with the right tools we don't even have to bake the cards. i also found with baking i like to do short intervals like 5 minutes at under 375F, ifn eed bake it more i have revived 1 dead laptop and 2 gfx cards at home and at work we pretty much got 750 dollars worth of…
guys from our company worked on the avatar style bits too.. good fun :) edit: haha someone did take a screengrab: http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3788/gwipe.jpg they missed a few though! (hint, theres one at myleene's feet before she's pushed)
I see what you are saying about the diffuse texture. I think you are closer than you think. The ref looks better because you are taking in the image as a whole, and your brain already knows it's real. If you just look at the details, you are pretty close. (I've attached a cropped comparison) I'd just lighten up and…
