our prison system is really fucked. But... its more of the social influence thats a problem though. I used to help out with guys in halfway houses to help them stay on a good path. I've probably helped a couple dozen guys get their GED or get a chance to calm down and change their mindset on life. You can show someone here…
hey guys! last year we had a fantastic polycount meetup at the Eurogamer expo! it proved to be an awesome platform for meeting up, lots of fun, and epic drinkies afterward! personally i'll be attending both friday and saturday this year, and i'll be staying the night in london, so if anyone is around either for the expo or…
I intended to watch a couple here and there to fill time. Ended up finishing the series at 1am last night. I quite liked it - I don't think it's on par with Daredevil but I liked that it showed that allot of what she does has consequences, pretty good all round in terms of cast. In fact the only one I thought was a little…
Haha Ferg, what are your favorite drinking spots on capitol hill? I was there last friday drinkin at the Metropolitan, the Stumbling Monk and the Chow Chow lounge under Bimbo's Burritos (great burritos as well!). East side isn't horrible for drinking, but certainly doesn't have such a cluster of bars and restaurants so…
"Unexploited", with all that that word implies, is good. Help them develope the skills and tools so they can make their own games and tell their own stories. like "The Fast Runner" and "Never Alone". Why it isn't as prevelant in western entertainment is simple, it doesn't make money. Take two films as example: The Last…
hehe we had the long nose before and will keep it for another ship, but what they did is more or lass teaking an old racing car and transform it into something flyable, which is also very cool we experimented with that but then stood with a more classical approach with changes here and there to give it that "hod rod"…
I don't like this tool too because its behavior can be very random. And the problem is that it's a tool, which mean you have to switch between it and the other tools. In my script the target weld can be just a short cut (alt+d) so it's really very fast to use. It's easier because you don't have to move the vertex by…
One more example: Top to bottom: - Base lighting - Shadow casting disabled. Since there are not any other objects in the scene to cast shadows on the hippo, this simulates turning off self-shadowing. With no self-shadowing, the body doesn't shadow the legs, the upper jaw doesn't shadow the inside of the mouth, the back…
been grinding out some stylized stuff in my free time lately so I figured I'd try my hand at the stylized concept for fun. here's where I'm at since this past weekend, still more to do but it's getting somewhere so I figured I'd post to get some eyes on it. going to work on getting the wires, dirt, etc in next along with…
Hey PolyTech, about never going past any amount sounds quite ridiculous to me. If you need it then do it, especially if your comp can handle it at a fast speed. Some meshes might just need that many poly's to get the detail you are looking for. It doesn't matter how high you take it in zbrush for it's final polycount, just…
