unless you are a majorly talented baller concept artist, having 2d sketches in your portfolio is probably going to hurt you rather than help. characters are usually designed by narrative and concept teams, and the character artists execute, not waste a ton of time coming up with stuff, they might iterate on concept designs…
Cant help you on the form for the color picker, but here is the code to make a system try icon and give it a context menu and a exit button. You will want to just create a new Windows Form application in Visual Studio, that will get you started with 1 form, and a Class with a Main() method. C# shouldn't be a huge jump for…
I've been searching for a good stand to prop my Wacom Intuos up at an angle for a while now, and finally found something that works really well. It was pretty difficult to find something, since as far as I know no one actually makes anything for this specific purpose. I even found a bunch of images and blogs of people…
I like the way those wood beams look m4dcow. You should increase the normals out a tiny bit more on those and see how it looks. I wanted to take on the floor first since it had some interesting cracks here and there. I created a tileable texture, and scuplted a couple of variations of cracks and chips. Then I hand painted…

When you study it you analise, synthsize and create whatever solutions to whatever problems you like. When you work you send orders of building steel ingots of same sizes everyday for God knows which reason, also your boss thinks he is smarter than you, workers at the factory thinks they can design better than you. You…
I got to a fitness center near me every day after work. My shins hurt real bad if I run too much so I only run a half mile twice a week, but I use all the machines and free weights. Only lost 15 pounds in 6 months, but I'm lifting 2-3 times and much and doing 3 times as many reps. Probably need to change the routine, but I…
This is a non issue as such a small percent of computer owners build their own machines. On a computer graphics forum of course your going to have enthusiasts, but your such a small demographic for a company of Intel's size to really care at all about. Its like wal-mart carrying boutique clothing, why would they? To think…
How much do you want to get paid per hour, then equal it out to how many hours you plan to work on a character, or just figure out one lump some. But also check out turbo squid and see what prices are there for characters as that is where most companies (to my knowledge) head to before requesting assistance from a "free…
Gladlig jule till alle i norden We celebrate it on the 24th here (it is in 40 mins in denmark). Sorry for posting early to those who celebrate it on the 25th (you just gonna have to wait a bit). Are there more countries that celebrate it on the 24th or the 25th? Odd it sort of snuck up on and pounced at me the last min (I…
