Re: Wacraft-inspired enviro
Hy, first of all I'd like to mention I'm not a 3D specialist but no means so I'll just talk about the color/texture. First thing I notice is the fact that the stones on the well are too small. Blizzard has a tendency to use large bricks in their enviros. The color scheme is much more saturated than what you used, with a… -
Re: UV'ing low poly models
If you are a 3dsmax user (version 9+) you can check out TexTools which is a bunch of scripts in 1 toolbar. Anyway in TexTools there is a symmetry tool that mirrors either one side to the other one (select half of the faces to mirror) or just select the edge mirror and average booth sides. It works like this: Just make sure… -
Re: Hypothetical Question - Importance of your job in your life
Well you see, that's tough for me. I was able to land a more than decent job right after graduating school at a military contracting company about 3 hours from where I was. Times have been tough, I lost a roommate and had to get a second job to keep my head above water while living on my own. Moving away for this job, I… -
Re: Interior/Exterior modular tetris
Oh I've read that before from the wiki as well as some of Philipk's and the Unreal engine articles on the subject and such. A lot of tutorials and information out there don't really talk of cases that I had mentioned though which extends onto designing how wall are set up or having contact points beyond just the sides that… -
Re: Razer Orbweaver/Tartarus for 3D?
Personally I'd stick with a 9 button mouse and that'll be enough to be efficient. I have a Tartarus after I already remapped everything in 3ds Max to the keyboard and mouse and I still have plenty of room. The only thing I would use it for in Max at this point are windows you pop up now and again or script windows just… -
Re: Google+ Hangouts
I just wanted to add a perspective of a guy brand new to polycount. I was invited to the Facebook group "Lunch Crunch" by a school mate which is where I first introduced to the idea of using a hangout to well, hang out. I was immediately enamored by the opportunity to share (and mostly consume atm) a vast array of industry… -
Re: Entertain the majority
I think the trouble with most videogames in the olden days is that they werent designed at all. You had the arcade games which were designed to entertain and to get people to put in their quarters or pennies as often as possible, then you get the home consoles which just copy that design wholesale. They have the lives and… -
Re: Contractors - when do you start looking for new work
vancouver seems to be all contract latley and it sucks. I am always open to hearing about new job opportunities even if im only 3 months in on a 10 month contract. the one nice thing about being on contract is you tend to get a steady raises, so if there is a good opportunity go for it. chances are it will take you around… -
Re: Hobbyists/hobbyists turned professional: How do/did you make time?
What works for me is having a fixed schedule for everything. So I'm working at least 30 min. on my projects on tuesday, thursday and sunday morning. Doing the same with sports the other days. Saturdays are mainly reserved for friends, sunday afternoons for family. Also spending some time with my wife every day (some days… -
Re: Luzny Anti-Air Tank
Really cool proportions on this; you don't need to be ultra close just to read the details. If I can offer a crit, it seems the early texturing is reading more like a plastic because of the white (lighter) wear, when I'd expect more of a painted metal look. And I hate to mention this so late into a project, and because…
