hit 1 on your numkeypad.

also, fucking check some tutorials first. if you even can't control the viewport, you won't be able to do shit.

1 - front view
3 - side view
8 - up
2 - down
4&6 rotate to either sides

5 - orto & perspective view

>>507196
7 is top view

Also use shfit to have their opposite side
1 is front and shift 1 is back
7 is top, shift 7 is bottom
3 is right, shift 3 is left

-Using Vray BTW.

shadow sharpness has nothing to do with gamma. When you have IBL you have to place your sun manually as an ordinary maya directional light, or run a script but itll still be a dir light

But is it possible to just have the hdri do all the work/lighting/shadowing?

Registry

Ctrl F

Blender

Delete everything you find

This

is

the

brute

force

way

of

doing

it.

Uninstall? Allways worked for me.

Or you could download the .zip file instead of the installer and run the blender app this way. You don't need to install blender to run it, you know? You can run it from an USB stick.

Fucking hell. Why are they always breaking shit in this program?

I want to like Blender. I really do. But holy fuck, man.

mod fallout new vegas

download UE4 and watch tutorials

it's noob friendly as fuck

thanks for the tips. Hopefully a good mod toolkit gets released for the Witcher 3. I heard Skyrim had a great modding community for a while, I will have to try fallout

I create the shape as a seperate object usually as a plane, and then use it as a stencil by making it transparent and placing over the designated area. I cut that shape along using vertex snapping, delete the stencil, and then just extrude down, delete face, bridge borders, and cleanup from there.

the one on left is stencile the one on right is boolean. the same result. it seems fine with simple shapes but the other day i was trying to make a SNES controller and the shapes got all type of fucked up

in this particular case you can use inset
just avoid boolean alltogether and add in normal maps what is too small or impossible model

First and last bump

Might be easiest to just poly model the electricity and use modifiers or something to animate it, then add glow in post to make it look less solid.

This is for the purpose of simulation, not art.

broke?

You did something Mark didn't you?
Still tampering with the ales bade eh, changing the material box as you see fit?...

>>507265
Tampering with the ales what?
Not sure I speak your language sir.

>>507264

would be nice if you provided some more info. Like image of material set-up.

lightning seems to be alright, the rode should be little thicker with more emission, try to up the samples.

>>507247
Thanks for feedback :) It's not original image because i sent it through Facebook and saved on my phone so it may look diffirent. Original one had 4K resolution which looked pretty damm good and has 500 samples. I will try 750 or 100 and melt my GPU for best results x)

Try this

dont use mudbox anymore

Try browsing to the program folder and open the program that way. Did you just start using a computer last week?

>>507225
> i don't know how programs store data in other folders

Did you?

Photographs are ambiguous information sources. You can't really perfect an algorithm to extract accurate information about shape from a single photo without building what amounts to a strong AI that understands what it is looking at.

If you have stereoscopic images the parallax should allow one to algorithmically extract a very good estimate of the shape tho. But I don't know the name of any such tool.

Faceshop :^)

For reference, here's the high poly.

>or creating circular holes
i actually saw someone do that with maya, are you sure

but it is good at modeling. If you plan and don't fuck up your topology you can only maek gud.

Use shrinkwrap, although it's a bad way of doing things.

What's the best way? What's the proper way?
