In my view Enterprise is second worst, ahead of voyager and tied with DS9. The original series then the next gen. With the best star trek ahead of all other spinoffs by atleast 20 yards are the original 6 movies. Even the horrible save the whales was better then the cockflop of the TV series(es) My personal favourates are…
@Stromberg90 - Thanks :) I'll cook this thing up in a jiffy. My tri budget for this particular model is way higher than normal, so I should be able to capture quite a bit :D @Oniram - No worries, mate :) I thought it looked strange at first when I was modeling it (the ref here doesn't show it well), but I checked around…
What's the concept look like? Your textures feel a tad blurry and your spec isn't coming off as nicely as it could either. Very little in the scene feels like metal. Because your geometry on some pieces is low, it shows the poor quality of your textures off even more. There are too many hard edges. You can either add geo…
Have to agree with Rick there. I know it's been debated to death, but I really think it's a good idea to do your textures larger than necessary, just in case the specs get raised. It just happened to me with a game that was supposed to be for a current console, but switched to the next gen console, I would have been…
eh the cars in games like Dirt, GT5 etc are over 40k polys. I am not saying you should have such high poly wheels, because you shouldnt, but 12k for a current gen game is way off. edit: nevermind I read the post wrong. Either way I dont think you should be shooting for such a low number with your car. If you want to make…
Most announced titles exclusively for consoles right now are being snapped up as PS3 or 360 exclusives since there's the big launch battle. But, looking at the current gen, most cross platform titles targeted the PS2 primarily (the lesser platform). I would guess that any title coming out on multiple platforms on the same…
hey bud, I made a texture for your dwarf. I drew in the lines for you so you could see where all the polygons need to go. You might want to go back and erase them if you want next-gen results. There are a few issues, but I think it fails on the concept level. took me 20 minutes. Sorry if that breaks the rules. I *am* a…
ah, the famous "no calibration" approach. :D what looks cool on one monitor might not be so hot on the next one. double points if that's the AD's screen and the skin tones are now officially off. i think color management makes sense for consistency within production - final output is totally at the mercy of the consumer's…
Yea I looked at that thread. I missed that portion later on to the link to the chinese site hosting the models packages. Any references to next gen models with normal mapped hair that you recommend I look at since afaik ffx aren't normal mapped? EDIT: Spoke to soon. I got the models in rar from the chinese site but now I…
On the one hand, a lot of developers aren't going to like these kinds of stipulations. Having a bunch of conservative government fellows looking over your shoulder is a bit of a handicap in a creative industry. And Texas tends to be pretty conservative. On the other hand...$250,000. That's a significant chunk of investment…
