[QUOTE=PLing;38352577]I remember seeing that before, like a year back or something.[/QUOTE] I remember playing on a map like that in gmod once.

I hope Octane gets updated to use opencl.

lots of progress on the trainstation [img]http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9416/59698402.jpg[/img] [img]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7352/85798315.jpg[/img] [img]http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2334/61371647.jpg[/img] [img]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7015/21822601.jpg[/img] [img]http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5878/82064360.jpg[/img]

I ask this every few weeks, can anyone help me with texturing? They always turn out like crap whenever I make a texture and I have no idea where to start. Also nice work Logithx

[QUOTE=PLing;38352577]I remember seeing that before, like a year back or something.[/QUOTE] I made the scene and rendered it too within a couple of days before posting, if that's what you mean. It's not exactly an original idea, so it's possible someone here has done it way before me.

[QUOTE=Juniez;38349924]doodled around with this today [img]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/96/95390/mac-10.png[/img] probably never going to finish it[/QUOTE] No need to, I already did this [IMG]http://chrisijzerman.net/images/Images/Mac-10/3.png[/IMG]

[t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33549121/revolvertestrender.png[/t] Not finished yet obviously, just wanted to give 3ds' renderer a whirl.

Swoooooochhh! [URL="http://nukeaduke.com/img/SS2560.jpg"][IMG]http://nukeaduke.com/img/renders/SSS.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://nukeaduke.com/img/SS2560.jpg"]http://nukeaduke.com/img/SS2560.jpg[/URL] Modeled in Maya rendered in Modo.

I fucking love Tintin.

Trying to restrain from showing stuff that looks like every other bit of sandy drab stuff I've shown before but about midway through updating a successful product of mine. The picture on the right is a shot of the same area, on the left is the updated area, my new foliage is really going a long way, I'm very pleased with it. It's a bitch to work with though since it's pretty hard on the system. It's a heavy WIP as you can see by all the surrounding buildings and stuff but I'm going to feather this city out instead of having a simple city tile. The city will still tile if needed but I figure having a more organic shape in the presentation will give it more life. I plan on making a series of new street props to accent the upgrades along with two new civilian vehicles like an SUV and a big cargo truck. It's very rewarding to take an old product (although I'm not happy with the structures anymore I want to utilize the product as best I can until my next line comes out) and giving it a totally new life. This is going to hopefully give me a nice bump in the market since this update will give me the best looking arab product period.

[editline]7th November 2012[/editline] Also Logithx are those in engine shots? If so, from what engine? and what are you remaking the station for?

[QUOTE=Ajacks;38362268] Also Logithx are those in engine shots? If so, from what engine? and what are you remaking the station for?[/QUOTE] Yea I answered this earlier, it's from the Unreal Engine 3 (a.k.a [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmT9N5dUqcM"]Unreal Development Kit[/URL]). It's an environment piece for my folio.

There's nothing like poly-modeling a oddly shaped cartoon head for an hour and a half straight, making good progress, then Maya suddenly crashing and the only thing saved is your background planes.

increment on save, set a backup every one minute, save constantly. every month make a backup of all your files to an external location (or even better, two separate backups) this how i avoid ever losing work

Edit: DOG-GY beat me to it. Save like every minute or so. I'm so used to spamming the save shortcut I save just in case even if I haven't done anything. Isn't there an autobackup feature in Maya though?

I have compulsive save syndrome, every minor movement I do ends up being saved - but it feels so good and I have no idea why.

If you feel like you're not going to remember saving often, take a break from your 3D program and play through Stalker: SoC on hardest difficulty.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;38367788]I have compulsive save syndrome, every minor movement I do ends up being saved - but it feels so good and I have no idea why.[/QUOTE] It's quite useful to save compulsively, unless you suddenly realise maybe you approached the "problem" the wrong way and want to undo up to a certain point, and then you realise you can't quite get there and you already saved over the previous work :v:

I have Max set to autosave every 3 minutes with 20 autoback files, that way if something gets corrupted I can easily go back far enough to find a non-corrupt version. I also save every 30 minutes or so onto a remote server. I got really tired of losing models, not lost a thing in almost two years now.

Ill bet saving files has become a dopamine reward for a lot of people [editline]8th November 2012[/editline] save files, get high

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aeKqe.jpg[/IMG] Anyone know what's going on there?

[QUOTE=kirby2112;38374585][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aeKqe.jpg[/IMG] Anyone know what's going on there?[/QUOTE] If I had to guess, it looks like the bullet is casting a shadow but the shell is not.

[QUOTE=Dippeggs;38374731]If I had to guess, it looks like the bullet is casting a shadow but the shell is not.[/QUOTE] Any idea what might have caused that? I mean, it's supposed to cast shadows from all geometry.

[QUOTE=kirby2112;38375739]Any idea what might have caused that? I mean, it's supposed to cast shadows from all geometry.[/QUOTE] Not totally sure, but you probably accidently click a box somewhere disabling shadows for that mesh. If it still does is just copy that other model.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hKbd7.jpg[/IMG] It's like a line where shadows refuse to show themselves. What. [editline]8th November 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qZI56.jpg[/IMG] whhhaaaaatttt is going on. The one on the far left [B]is[/B] touching the plane, but the shadow is fleeing or something, and I've got no fucking clue what's wrong with the middle one.

[QUOTE=kirby2112;38375848][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hKbd7.jpg[/IMG] It's like a line where shadows refuse to show themselves. What.[/QUOTE] Weird. I'm not sure what's going on there. Try rendering without the bullet, or is that part of the model? [editline]8th November 2012[/editline] Lol what the hell. Try replacing the light/ a different light.

Are you sure they're not floating above the plane? Also what program are you using?
