Re: Subdivision Surfaces
We go to Michigan State. We were taught to use smooth preview while modeling, and to use bump maps and such, but I am not speaking of smooth preview. I'm talking about the separate tab in maya called subdiv surfaces. It has its own tools that you can use to manipulate the surfaces just as NURBS have different tools than… -
Re: Green with envy
Lift itself was bought for $2200. We cut the holes in the concrete with a rented concrete cutter. I welded up a pretty crazy wire mesh for the concrete using rebar bought at Home Depot, since the bolts are welded to that framework. We rented a concrete mixer trailer and filled the holes back in, then lifted the two legs up… -
Re: Clash of the Titans
Yes, yes. We all know the original Clash of the Titans was horribly inaccurate as far as classical mythology goes. There were three Gorgon sisters, not just Medusa. All the crap in the middle of the film with the princess was never a part of mythology. Perseus found the "princess" chained to a rock without ever meeting her… -
Re: Games I never finished & will never play again
[ QUOTE ] The main factor about any game is its "aura", the feeling I get when seeing or playing it. A depressing game like Half-Life 1 and 2 never gets finished. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly! I dont like to play in depressing worlds. Only if it is a tale of redemption. I played Psi ops, and though it was very fun I just stopped… -
Re: Transformers: The Movie
[ QUOTE ] I hate how all the high rez shots have them in these giant chimpanzee poses instead of anything that looks remotely cool. Having said that, Ironhide is pretty neat looking, and the new toys are looking cool. [/ QUOTE ] agreed with the monkeypose thing... i always loved how transformers have been posed for the… -

Re: "Avatars" are Microsoft's take on Mii's?
Renovation and recycling over innovation and rejuvenation?, not a good way to stay on top. If you hate the restrictions Nintendo puts on its developers, you should talk to people who work at and for MS. Talk to some of the Bungie guys, talk to just about anyone thats had to deal with MS while trying to retain creative… -
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
hah, every game has a horse scene in it now :P apart from that, i agree Jfletcher, it does look uninspired, but this is where i get worried and reference the point Jesse brought up about the "business" side of things. This is what the business side of things inevitably leads to, a point where the creativity tank starts to… -
Re: Art test for Nintendo Wii
i'd be careful with polys for characters. as i said, you have to skin all those vertices and if you have 3500 verts + 10*1500 verts for some enemies, you have 19k skinned verts. you need to process those every frame(and we love 60 frame games ;) ). i think your engine could get problems. mario in galaxy has about 5k polys,… -
Re: [P&P] - What Are You Working On? 2009 Edition!
Rubber ducky, you're the ooooone! You make bath time LOTS of fun!! Rubber ducky I'm really fond of you... ! I have FINALLY gotten myself to model something again (After dragging myself out of photoshop/off the couch) Just gonna try to do some really small things for now. (Until Dom War anyway) I'm taking baby steps with…
