Finally got some time to start working on some environments our dealers can drop playgrounds into. This one's going to to be used for some standard units we supply to Burger King. I started using gamma 2.2, and I think it's working out pretty well, though I've got some work to do on materials today, darken them down a bit. Click here for the full 1024x768 image.

Here's some reading on the mathematical side of the blend modes. I used this, along with the Adobe Blend Modes Addendum to translate all of them over to maxscript, for native comping. I don't use it a lot lately, but it really was useful for overnight batch rendering with our old multipass pipeline. multipass

Oh god I hate people who can't manage their projects. The guys over in our shade department came to me and said, "Handiklap, we need a rendering of these grandstand shades." This would have been fine had they gotten me the designs and reference that day, Tuesday. Instead, they waited until 3:30 on Friday to drop this poo poo on my desk; the meeting these would be presented in was the following Tuesday at 11am. One inaccurate cad drawing, 3 barely useful reference photos, and 10 hours of work later, I gave them this: Click here for the full 960x630 image.  Click here for the full 960x630 image. Everything was modelled from scratch, except for the upper shade supports. The lighting is pretty terrible but that's what you get I guess. Hopefully the wonderful folks at BU will drool over it despite all the horrible problems I can pick out. Handiklap fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Aug 5, 2008 |

Oxygencult posted:anatomy study, still very wip so crits are very welcome! Really nice detail. The couple things I can pick out immediately are that the transition from the shin to the top of the foot seems a little bit thick from the profile, or it might be that the achilles is too wide; I can't see much definition of it in the posterior view. Take a look at the upper leg musculature too, there seems to be some lack of definition there (adducter longus/sartorius/rectus femorus/vastis medialis). There's just a lot of cut musculature in the upper body, and then it kind of gets soft below the waist.

Sigma-X posted:Here is where it looks like there's a symmetry line running down the middle. It's a bayonet, but from the ones I've seen, they've got a filleted "T" cross section that tapers from base to tip, thought it would probably add 10 or 15 tris. It flips facing front on a slide-pivot hinge when used; you would wrap a finger around the little nub on the bottom, pull back to clear the hinge lock, and swing the bayonet to the front.

I've started building some outdoor scenes for product renderings, and I can't seem to figure out what the hell is going on with my water. The actual water object is a plain box primitive. I've narrowed it down to being something in the reflection, but I can't seem to figure out what. It's got a bump and falloffs in the reflection and refraction slots, so nothing particularly fancy. I'm using an hdri as an environment background, and a vraySky for my gi environment. I'm still trying some other things, but I'd appreciate any insight on this. Max2008+vray1.5 Click here for the full 800x600 image. edit: Oh gently caress me nevermind. I was using an existing environment I had, which i conveniently forgot to delete a vrayPlane out of which had a reflective white material on it, and was coplanar with the top face of my water. Haha yeah that looks a tad better. Also: ~2.2 billion polys in the trees, which of course is obscene overkill for that distance. I loving love vrayProxies.  Click here for the full 800x600 image.

ACanofPepsi posted:I've got a similar question involving a pop can in 3Ds Max. A stack with Edit Mesh at the top can't have animated subobjects, so I'd assume that the Editable Mesh object is restricted this way too. Edit Poly (and Editable Poly objects) can have animated subobjects, though using morph targets would be a bit easier to control than keyframes for individual vertices and such.

Slowly working on the lighting and props now that I've got a little spare time at work. I'm working on a new one from an old model I did when we painted our kitchen last year. The shot is going to be through the window over the sink, looking at the stove, but for now I'm just trying some (very splotchy) lighting.

Useless posted:Finally had some time to get back into learning this stuff, and started pretty much doodling in Max yesterday. Combined with some work today, this is what I've come up with so far: I think the [lack of] lighting fits the mood of the scene pretty well, actually. Don't know if that's what you're going for in the end, but with the right textures and props, it could do well dark. Consider how well-lighted, yet dark, ElecHeadMatt's alley scene was.

Not like a full-size vehicle anyway. I thought the same thing, but I think it would translate a lot better if the color wasn't so vibrant, as if it had seen it's fair share of sun fading.

About to go shoot some texture references. Specifically, I'm taking a shot of an entire bundle (25 ft^2) of cedar shingles laid flat so I can have a good set of images to randomize from. Anyone want them when I'm done? edit: Ok, so when you lay out a bundle of cedar shingles without any overlap they cover a hugenormous fuckton of square footage, so I only did about half a bundle. On the bright side I did have a good amount of sunlight so I think I can generate a specular map as well. Handiklap fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Apr 8, 2009 |

Crits plz. The benches and table are product too, but are more props than anything else as far as the vis goes. Granted, a comp I did a couple weeks ago sold some benches and tables so maybe they should be a little more visible. A little post bloom and a warming filter, but I don't know if I'm helping or hurting it's so subjective any more, especially when everyone around you is all, "Oh wow that looks awesome!!one" and you're all, "Yeah, I think it kind of looks like poo poo and I can't put my finger on it, but thanks anyway."

cubicle gangster posted:No no this is perfect, thanks. The textures do need some work, but fortunately I've already got spec maps for all the wood so I can adjust from there. Lower frame is all steel so more subd on the reflection should do it. I think my biggest problem is trying to have everything "how it exists" and not "how it looks best", like increasing the spec or gloss on the left bench would obviously bring out the highlight and detail on the back, but it never crossed my mind to actually do it, like I'm drawing too fine of a line between aesthetics and honesty, if that makes any sense. KiddieGrinder posted:
The materials you've got are great, but I think you could balance them out a bit with some pieces of paint/plaster peeling up and away from the surface. It just screams "simple object with a very nice texture" - not necessarily a bad thing, I just go overboard with detail modeling - so I think adding a couple pieces here and there where a shadow can creep under would really convince me. The surface pulls up around all the cracks with your bump like it wants to seperate. Handiklap fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Apr 11, 2009 |

Alan Smithee posted:I'm curious, has anyone here played around with Imagemodeler? I read in 3D World magazine that while it's nifty, it's got some kinks that need working out, not sure if you guys have thoughts on working with it. I actually have a tab for that open right now. Our tensile fabric division is looking for something to assist in architectural reference modeling, and the director came to me with that and PhotoModeler. I'm really partial to Autodesk since we use AMD, Max, and Inventor already, so I think I'm going to grab the ImageModeler trial and try it out this weekend. I'd like to hear anyone else's experience with it, or any other photogrammetry ware as well.
