if thats the sales strategy judging by the response i have seen microsoft will be hugely successful. shrinking your customer base is quite innovative. i propose an xbone butplug that periodically connects to microsofts servers to update your sphincter stats... it will be another big winner i predict.
football fans are basically football nerds - you guys have cosplay, a fantasy game, and you obsessively pour over and compare stats. On a seperate note, I watched the Puppy Bowl, touchdowns were made but no winner was announced at the end.. I doubt the legitimacy of the Puppy Bowl.
I have tower for gaming but if I can get a portable gaming/3d workstation I'm going for it. That ATI one is looking like the winner. What do you all mean by ATI causing issues in 3d, like artifact-generation or slow loading times or what?
Hehe good points. Can we get other guys to write our shaders for us? :D I voted no, just because guys like rv_el/kite/neox/peppi and a ton of non-winners turn out fresh work year on year, and they work solo.
id say: - make the trash somewhat brighter its too contrasty compared to the white tiles inside the pool. - make one more banner cloth variant that is way more torn - tone down the post filters a lot and you got yourself a winner =)
If you saw the RIOT Polycount contest, do a character that matches that contest. The winners for that were all recruited for jobs at RIOT i believe. You want to do solid sculpts but make sure you focus on hand painted textures...this is going to matter the most.
If you want to be involved in the animation contests, you might get a LOT more out an actual 'Animation' based community. 11secondclub.com is an animation community with amazing monthly contests. Winners get their work critiqued by their peers at Pixar, Dreamworks, PDI, Disney etc. :D
The Make Something Unreal Contest doesn't mean that the mod scene is good, you know. Most of the MSUC winners are the same entries over and over again. There aren't many people competing unlike UT2004. UT2004 was a great game, UT3 just wasn't as good.
Hahaha. But anyways. If editing topology in Max/Maya and sending the edits back to Z without breaking anything *really* works, this is a winner! Hope they'll improve viewport nav for the next release. If they do, along with that GoZ, Mud would then be left behind. Interesting times!!
I use Zbrush for my sculpting. But 3dcoat has infinitely superior texture painting tools that are fast and support large texture sizes. I've tried various 3d painters and this one has come on top as the winner. Apologies for resurrecting this thread from the dead.
