I'd personally be wary about XNA. Microsoft are showing no interest at all in actively supporting it any more and if you want to use it outside of Windows Vista/7/8 desktop/Windows Phone 7/XBLA, (this includes W8 Metro and WP8 - the XNA runtime just doesn't exist on these platforms) you have to use MonoGame. That's not a…
I'm apparently very hard on mice. I have a MX518. I like it a lot, but after a little less then a year of simple home use its left click has started being a little odd, sounding like something is getting caught on release. My Razor stopped working in about 8 months. I wish these expensive mice would last me a tad longer. I…
8-Bit, Yah it is much better over all still have to tweak the grunge on the diffuse map a little bit more but it is way better. I plan to upload a shot of what I had as my final sculpt soon probably tomorrow some time. Been really busy lately. Currently working on a new piece to see how good the new NDo 2 is should be fun.…
I took into account your suggestions @DWalker so now this is what the scene looks like so far. added two more edge loops to the arch, and reduced the sphere subdivisions from 8 to 6. the 3D preview has also been updated I've always been wondering, what is the best approach to uv'ing a sphere? This is the default uv layout…
I don't think the RAM upgrade is going to do you any good unless you have a 64 bit OS. Since you claim to have 3072MB of RAM it appears you are running 32 bit, because 32 bit caps 4GB at about 3072 MB. An upgrade to 8 GB will just be a waste because the OS won't address the additional RAM. Upgrade to a 64 bit OS, get a new…
Keep up the progress =). For the wireframe you probably have the Wire check box ticked. You can find it in the Material Editor (Hotkey = M) under Shader Basic Parameters. To change your background press 8 to bring up you Environment and Effects box. You will see under common parameters you can change the colour / load maps…
Only crit I can give without knowing how "low poly" you need to be etc lol is that the headlights which I would guess are either plastic or glass seem to dented or bumpy (maybe because of a normal map??) which wouldnt happen. Atleast to my knowledge :P. Also maybe push the wheels in a little bit, they look like they come…
The twitch wip videos shows they were uploaded on July? Is that when you started this set? How long did it take? @Q-ro It's a good idea overall, I'm not sure you should put in those very small yellow spikes though. As an example, instead of having 16 small spikes, make it 8 bigger ones, most people don't notice that small…
Ask a man for a critique - receive nothing. Ask a man to pimp his graphics hardware - two pages in a day. heh ~8 FPS Chrome (I have 37 other tabs open) AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics AMD E-350 processor 1.8ghz 4GB ram Worth noting I have several projects open in both illustrator and photoshop, a ton of tabs open, and haven't…
