Re: Luxology releases "modo 401"

...i wouldn´t be as strict about that. Modo has some pretty descent tools and workflows like a way of modelling SubD in Symmetry which is WAY more intuitiv than XSI´s way of doing that (clone, duplicate, -1 Scale, hide....stuff like that is anyoing) and also the renderer with its preview function is...

Re: Questions about Linear Workflow and realistic lighting

First of all: You´re welcome for that comment. I mean...the info you offered there was really worth a thank you. Now on to the theory stuff: How do you render out the different channels? I´m used to compositing my final shot out of diffuse channel, reflection, specular and so on.... When i render ev...

Questions about Linear Workflow and realistic lighting

Hi there, i´m on my discovery-tour on linear workflow and so far i´m quite impressed about all the new details and facts, that i´m confronted with. It kind of starts making more and more sense to me, allthough there are still some misty fields... I´m starting this thread to collect some of your expe...

Re: Minigun

Really funny piece of art :) The design would suit some kind of comic-terminator, as the nature of there combat-style would compensate the lack of logic in that design :) But it really looks good nevertheless ;) A wire would be really interesting, as it looks very smooth and clean and so i hope, tha...

Re: Work in Progress: Backyard

Indeed...the foreground leaves need some polish...but you are developing this to a really great piece! I would think about sharpening and detailing the wall-texture about more, as it´s coming out a bit blurry at the moment. Detail is also important, if you are planning to use DoF, as it is always a ...

Re: Work in Progress: Backyard

Interesting approach, that you took there...but what´s the benefit instead of giving each frame it´s own mat and UVs?

Re: Clio 2009 for "Audi Filter"...

Most easily done in Post-Processing... The Method for doing this, that i know, is done by splitting the base-image in its three channels. Then you can offset the channels in different directions and merge the image later on... The offset-amount can be driven by a gradient so that it becomes stronger...

For skin the best is still to use the ez_fast_skin_d shader. And there are some really good explanatory webpage on mymentalray.com featuring each aspects of the shader. I can´t find anything about that shader on this site. I tried the search in the Shaders-Section as well as in the forums and side-...

Re: Old skin (NO SSS)???

first and foremost i am writing a reply here, because the atmosphere in this thread is becomming rather quirky,....so i would suggest to let everything calm a bit down.
