    went from a hair test to this. Same lighting as the last one, The hair tweaked more and it does help to have matching texture maps for the figure and hair.

    Revisiting an old Vue scene http://itiseyemeeszark.deviantart.com/art/What-s-through-the-tunnel-290605235 It is so nice to be able to use EcoSystems without Vue crashing. Just a little contrast and sharping adjustment in Photoshop.

    Nice one. Did you get that new PC in the end?

  • SzarkSzark Posts: 10,634
    edited December 1969

    I did but it may have a hardware issue as I have the BSOD 6 times since I got it.

    That's a pain. Any idea what's causing it? Anything reported in the Event Viewer?

  • SzarkSzark Posts: 10,634
    edited December 1969

    The Error report keeps stating a Minidump...others I have spoken too say it is most likely hardware related so I will get the manufacturer a ring on Monday.

    Yeah quite possibly. Sadly some errors can be a number of things and don't give you much to go on. Installed any additional hardware or software on it? Could be hardware or driver related

  • SzarkSzark Posts: 10,634
    edited December 1969

    Yeah I know about errors not giving good info, when has MS errors ever. ;) Nope no new hardware and all Drivers are up to date, and not via Win Update but me going to all the sites to check myself.

    Yeah I hear you there. I work in IT so that's a daily occurrence. :)

    Hope you manage to get it sorted out OK though

    Thanks I will get the thing exchanged if it comes down to it. I know my consumer rights and usually get what I want. ;)

    Ouch, sorry to read of the BSOD issues. I had one (old XP) that did that often. Turned out the Chip was not seated properly. Once it got seated it never did it again. Hope you get it sorted soon.

    Robo Spider
    Background CryoEnvironment

    In furthering my Uber Surface education I quickly set this up. I was testing myself if I really knew this. Setting up the Uber Surfaces was relatively easy and didn’t take long at all. What took time was splitting of different parts of each material zone and making new ones with the Polygon Editor Tool. The model come with seven material zones and by the time I had finished it had nineteen. The reason for this was so I had more control over the anisotropic highlights.

    I even used area lighting on the eyes. I could have gotten away with Ambient only though but there was a slight difference, I got more colour bleed with Area lighting.

    Light with 3 spot down lights over the spider covering the whole room, one fill near the camera set to diffuse light only pointing at the spider. One uplighting spot at floor level. Two point lights for overall background fill light, one white, one red and UE2 with IDL with soft shadows, IDL strength 30% using the softbox preset, occlusion samples 75% occlusion colour black. 4X quality Preset except Shading Rate at 1.00.

    Once I got the light balance right, the scene still looked Dark so I increased the Gain in the Advanced Render Settings Pane to 1.40. Gamma Correction On and left at the default value of 1.00.

    The only postwork was to add the boarder and laser beam, which was a cylinder parented to the Spider and Uber Volume applied but rendered separately by itself with the lights except UE2 on black background and saved as a jpg. This jpg was laid on top of the render in Photoshop and the layer blend mode set to Screen. Applied a little blur for the final touch.

    My goodness that's first class! I'm just getting to grips with the AoA Ambient light sets and seeing what I prefer out of either them or Uber. I do like working with Uberlighing but not sure at the moment if that's more to do with the familiarity

    But that spider image is just fantastic
