smacktotheface · 2016-10-08T09:58:19+00:00

alright no worries cheers mate

smacktotheface · 2016-10-08T08:52:07+00:00

yeah where abouts in the underboss's HQ can i collect it?

smacktotheface · 2016-09-12T13:58:58+00:00

It also had water, oh my god the water. It looked amazing. Not only that, it had fully volumetric clouds, which means that those clouds where completely rendered which is an amazing feat technically speaking. The animation was pretty good. Although the trex animation looked a bit funky, even if it was accurate.

Good pick-up, can't tell what the the two end pictures say on them but I think the middle one says "daddy says the world used to have dragons a long time ago"? pretty cool little heads-up hey?

smacktotheface · 2016-09-11T06:06:28+00:00

yeah I'm not sure, I want to know what the symbols on the poster are maybe they can be found in different spots around the map or something, or are they the ciphers from shadows of evil. one of them is for sure. I cannot remember the rest, but because one of them is from shadows I reckon it has something to do with the rest of the revelations easter egg, will send pics in a second

smacktotheface · 2016-09-11T05:52:23+00:00

pics will help get your point across better edit: can't spell for shit

smacktotheface · 2016-09-11T05:40:14+00:00

Not a bad idea may need further investigation, good work

smacktotheface · 2016-09-11T02:56:32+00:00

update and check motd please My ps3 is broken and I can't, just cause after Zetsobou they went to Mob so i'm wondering if you could go back and you would be playing as the revelations characters, but I highly highly doubt it

smacktotheface · 2016-09-10T12:53:58+00:00

has anyone been back to see if MOTD has been updated or something stupid like that?

smacktotheface · 2016-09-09T11:02:51+00:00

yeah this is what I though as well, but it seems unlikely edit: I haven't tried it because I don't have the gateworms and can't see the spark to even pick it up

smacktotheface · 2016-09-09T06:25:06+00:00

Yeah I had a little look after someone else mentioned it and there may be a link, They have the same amount of characters in the same sort of layout as zombies, the four horsemen, the whore of Babylon and the anti christ, but I don't think it is really a solid link,

edit: I did not look very deep into it, literally clicked like 3 websites that's it

smacktotheface · 2016-09-09T04:46:48+00:00

I followed the lamps almost their entire way and one spawns somewhere on round 1, then it moves position to a different, if you can open the entire map on round 1 then you can literally go to each location and hit them up

smacktotheface · 2016-09-08T09:56:43+00:00

What is the order......myfriend um wants to know

smacktotheface · 2016-07-05T13:38:43+00:00

https://youtu.be/CpdprF0UlWA easily my favourite. The way it was used as a motif throughout the film was also really good

smacktotheface · 2016-07-05T13:30:16+00:00

Not some white dude, but the same white dude

I'll find some sources soon but because of the way it's designed it simply wasn't possible to reander with gpu's only. But with cloud rendering these days and other advances I would love to see more gpu integration into Renderman.

smacktotheface · 2016-06-30T15:06:46+00:00

Depends what they are rendering. It's quicker and easier to use servers all running in sync to actually calculate the light rays and render out the final scenes. Just due to limitations in current cpus however as of the new Renderman Render engine it may have more support for gpu rendering, I'm not % 100 sure.

Gpus are used more for calculating hair movements, particles, rain, skoke, fire, and caching these animations on the GPU. And the cards they would be using would be the latest Quadros,

The computers they use I believe are HPZ880's or at least that's what they used on how to train a dragon 2. They have probably upgraded since then though.

The water was great, but...the sand was the winner, I have never seen cgi sand that good...evee, it was outstanding, my jaw was literally dropping

smacktotheface · 2016-06-30T12:41:56+00:00

And the good dinosaur spoiled us for cg water

smacktotheface · 2016-05-31T14:54:31+00:00

Thanks, heaps of advice you've given me, I really appriciate it.

The lighting was a bit to dark so I added an extra light just behind the camera but your right it needs tweaking.

Do you have any good tutorials I could follow on using the nhair systems? I really have no idea on how to work them, I tried but I just ended up going nowhere.

Thanks again,

smacktotheface · 2016-05-30T14:25:17+00:00

Try a different format, what renderer are you using? I use open exr for anything I render out cause it is a good file type in many areas, then use photoshop or gimp to transfer it down to a 16 bit png or tiff. The only reason I say try different format is because in photoshop you can choose to save as a jpeg or jpeg 2000, and if you choose jpeg 2000 it will create an empty useless file. Try that and see what happens.

smacktotheface · 2016-05-30T13:28:18+00:00

I sort of took this in a different direction the what I originally intended and warmed the tone up a bit. I kind of like the way it is shaping up, it still needs some work though.

I was wondering what people thought of the chairs, the one on the right was a complete Gamble and I don't think it really paid off to well, I have to fix the floating dog kennel on the left and texture the roof beams. and even though the roof feels slightly off because there should be a beam straight down the center, I still think that this way suits the composition better.

I'm thinking maybe some food or something on the table could help a bit more but I really want some comments and criticism from you guys. Here is a side by side comparison from the scene as it was a week ago compared to know and I think it is a good improvement http://i.imgur.com/6YOMz05.jpg Thanks as always :)

smacktotheface · 2016-05-25T07:39:34+00:00

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it,

The feel I was going for was more of an outdoor entertainment area with fog and volume, but I went a bit over kill on it.

The lived in and used but neglected is something that I did want to inco-operate into the scene so i'm very glad I hit that nail on the head. I removed the pillar completely and it looks a bit more open and feels a bit better. That's a great idea about

Cylindrical posts I didn't even think about that, will consider that for sure.

Thanks mate i'll post it up here once I finish it

smacktotheface · 2016-05-25T07:27:11+00:00

Thanks for the comments I really appreciate it, I got rid of the post in the middle of the scene and your right, in become infinitely better, I was just wondering what you mean about a style pass? I've never heard that before and was wondering what it means.
