I don't know who your teachers are but they really need to go over why we use triangles, why we use quads and why we definitely don't use n-gons. If I was doing this (and that would be in 3DS max), I would create a geosphere as it has vertices evenly spaced around its surface. Create a spike and then scatter it onto the…
@ cyberflame: Heres some stuff on how I made the buildings: Hope this helps! - So the smaller pieces are built in Max with specific measurement settings - in this case I used meters and just made sure everything I built corresponded to those settings. All the window pieces are 2 meters in width and i think 3 in height -…
Quick Trim/timbers: In edit poly select an edge (or a few) click "create shape". This makes a spline, apply the sweep modifier to the spline and turn on generate mapping coordinates. Using a spline you draw out the parameter of your building in the top viewport then apply sweep, algin the pivot so the shape sits at the…
You can also do it like this: Start of with a basic cylinder with plenty of sides. Delete both end caps and half of the cylinder. Extrude the bottom edges. Create two slices at opposite 45 degree angles. Delete the end polygons. You should know have something like this: Now center the pivot on the end vert, clone and…
Ha, thats a laugh. You didn't happen to watch the episode where Kerry made a appearance on the Daily Show? Stewart treated him a bit differently huh? Excluding that, the show is still made up of 80% right wing cracks. However we wont know for sure if this is just because they are currently in hot seat until we get a…
I'm a fan of I Am Legend, the book, as well. The alternate ending might imply some of the point of the book better (especially one shot) - but the whole film still doesn't follow the book as closely as it should [we're talking plot elements and characters being removed, etc.]
I grew up with a family that liked racing, nitz. My uncle was a speed freak that way. I grew to liking the show, since he watched it all the time. Yeah, there's not a lot of plot to it, but it's something that brings back childhood memories. I'd see it for nostalgic purposes alone.
I only played the demo and not I'm not going to buy the game, but I'm just wondering about the plot. Some friends of mine said there's some seriously heavy religious undertones throughout the game (so much so that they're not really undertones after a little bit). True?
Whatever, he can't lose. It's real life hot-blooded mecha-anime plot formula. Fresh idealistic newbie vs the morally ambiguous veteran with the bumbling second in command. Someone close to the newbie dies right near the climax, causing him to power-up and win.
Outcast was awesome. Jedi Academy didn't have much of a plot but at least the levels had some variety to them (on a speeder bike like a racing game, shooting stormtroopers, lightsabre battle against Dark Jedi, etc.) Not as repetitive and I still liked it better than Force unleashed tho.
