Re: Remington 1882 shotgun
Thanks Dominique, glad you like it! For some reason (because I'm a glutton for punishment, probably) I opted to use Photoshop only for texturing this time. In hindsight it was not a good idea, I had forgotten what a pain it is to manually deal with all the layers on something like this. I would not recommend it. That being… -
Re: Work PC Questions
To actually prove this to an upper management type, they like to see numbers and ways that their cash may be in the process of being squandered, for example, in time wasted waiting on renders or such. When you are doing work on your machine, keep a sheet handy to track how long it takes you to do various daily tasks. For… -
Re: Forest/Nature Environment
Yeah, ferns tend to grow in swarms. As in this image: (quite large, so I didn't embed it) http://gardenblog.winterthur.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/march-bank-ferns-7-17-2008-kls.jpg Otherwise, I like it. Things feel sort of flat though. Do you have spec-maps for the props? Also, the lighting itself feels quite flat too.… -
Re: Matt's Portfolio Site!! [C/C Please]
hey matt, the soliders on the site look great! very cool and realistic, love that chainmail texture. couple suggestions - - with the main soldier, the textured one, I'd put the tasty textured render up front. Right now the first thing the viewer sees is the untextured view, which although useful, isn't the most spectacular… -
Re: Enviroment Practice - Jason Lavoie
Ha ha, whoops I've never imported anything into an engine before, and setting up lighting is beyond me at this point (In engines anyway). Maybe I should pick up Roboblitz and import some stuff into there and try it out. As for colour on spec maps, I still don't know how it affects the overall spec, can someone please help… -
Re: London Styled Phone Booth: Prop

Connect those lines from from the… -
Re: Online Portfolio
Why does the barrel look like it's soaking wet? If that was what you were going for, good work. However, I gotta tell ya, Rust doesn't have that tight of a spec. Regular ol dry rust doesn't have that tight of a spec, or even that powerful. Tone down the spec value on that thing a lot, and make it a little broader. I have… -
Re: SteamPunk Carriage
You should consider adding a Multiply + Constant1Vector + your original Specular, bump up the strenght of the spec, and then using that as the real Specular. Itll make the metal look more reflective, like real metal. Also you should consider using a SpecularityPower map to tell the engine where to use wide or small spec… -
Re: Slow at loading models...?
For a mesh file that is 2GB, yes, you should expect a delay when loading. How long will depend somewhat on the specs of your computer - what sort of disk it is loading from, how faster your GPU is, etc. Can you tell me what the specs of your computer are and roughly how long it takes to load the mesh file? Generally a low… -
Re: Putiing cavity into albedo
Theres different ways too look at this, and it really depends on what you mean when you save cavity map. A lot of people mean curvature map (which has both concavity and convexity information in it) which is handy to use for various texturing effects but should NOT be throw directly on your diffuse/spec maps. A cavity map…
