Re: My laptop is a crackhead
I just got a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop, and it rocks my socks off. The screen is exceptional, one of the brightest laptop screens I've seen and the colors are incredibly sharp. Its powerful enough to do everything I want. The only drawback is that its a little heavy due to its size, 17". -
Re: Trouble sculpting my mountain
Im using Zbrush. If I can figure out how to get the formations of the rocky sections brought out correctly, I can just use noise or AJ's noise brush for the actual rock. Notice how a lot of the formations look like triangles almost, I just need to get those extruded out correctly. -
Re: UDK - Weathertop (LotR) Inspired Scene
Looking very nice. One thing I'd suggest is making the mound that it's on a bit more unique. Right now it looks like it's just a tiny grass hill. It'd be more interesting if it had little rocky cliff drops throughout it and maybe even rock walkways like the LOTR Weathertop that lead up to the stone structure. -
Re: Destroyed bridge scene
Both your rocks and your concrete look way too smooth. It's a common problem with ZBrush that a lot of the tools end up being really blobby/organic, and you've got to be careful to keep the harder lines. Remember, concrete has larger stones in it. Don't be afraid to make it chunky. Yours looks like it's got minor skin… -
Re: Sketchbook: Adam Jarvis
Update No.3 The environment. So the environment went through a few revisions until I settled on a process I was happy with. For various work projects, I've been exposed to the use of photogrammetry so it seemed like a great excuse to go and capture some rocks for myself. here are a few rocks, post tidy up in Zbrush i… -
Re: Evironment #2 new lighting attempts
Quick comment on the rocks: Your texture is creating shadows that are too dark. It may be from the light sources but I believe it's that you have a rather flat rock surface with a normal mapped rock texture. Try and not depend on the normal map so much for rock geometry and see about cutting some larger, chunkier, shapes… -
Xbox 360 GTA locking up on me!
I know that many gta owners out there had their share of technical difficulties and I had thought I was not one of them. Never had a problem until yesterday, around the 10 or 15 hr or so mark in the game probably when shortly after leaving my safe house the game completely crashed, froze the screen and locked up all… -
Combining textures together versus combining materials together for landscape texturing
Hi guys! I am learning about 2 ways to texture large landscapes. Mask creating and terrain creation not a problem. I am more interested in texturing workflows. If someone who is pro can gave some good tips, pros cons what is usually for both terrains for games or in 3ds max, Blender. If I have 5 masks and textures for… -
Re: Got punked by apple again.
If only I could hook my iPhone up to the TV, and output in HD the game I was playing complete with some kind of pad, be it bluetooth or something else... That would rock my socks. But gaming on an iPhone? Unless its Angry Birds or something simple, its a bit wank, to be honest... The controls are just not there... -
Re: Hilltop farmhouse
Jeff makes some good points. I think the biggest thing to think about is your shot composition. Right now, you have most of the weight in the center of your shot densely packed around your rocky mound. I think you should rotate the camera to the left a little, then dolly it to the right. Get that house in the upper right…
