Army (ADF) Australian Defence Force - 12 mths as a reservist then remaining 6yrs full time regular and because I didn't want to walk everywhere, both enlistments were spent serving with armored cavalry reconnaissance regiments :# At the moment we're in a similar situation. It's horrendously expensive maintaining a…
I think Steam is doing a good job of unwittingly fighting piracy. I know I'd rather buy a game on Steam than have to put up with the faff of getting a pirated game to run, especially anything involving dosbox. I find myself playing more 90's games these days than actual new releases :D
In addition to what the guys said above, I'd like to suggest working with less bricks. If you look at tileable hand painted textures you'll notice they will tile quite a bit but the texture itself is loaded with character. Check out Faf's thread to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.…
Looks like it's available to buy now. Asked, and doesn't sound like it: Q: Is there a way to automatically straighten UV shells now like the "straighten selection" tool in max? A: I'm not familiar with the Max tool, but there are no new automatic straightening tools in 801. There are several UV improvements in 801 include…
There's apparently an executable version of waifu2x with a few more scaling options which is more convenient than using the online version:

Topaz gigapixel is similar too, but it uses a different method to upscale images and is usually better for realistic photo stuff…
@ Jeff Pfft, neither am I. @ alf Naw, just my digital camera and some photoshop cleanup. @ Gannon Shoot, you're absolutely right. Exactly the kind of thing I forget about in the heat of drawing. Definitely the statues are full 3d, I'm just looking at the rock and the trees. Some of the rock borders are just too smooth to…
I don't know which version of Max you are using, or what Modo navigation entails. If you are using Max 2013 you may be able to use the Customize User Interface > Mouse options to adapt the navigation. http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/MAXScript-Help/files/GUID-724B14D0-06DC-424A-A6FE-8C494579ECA3.htm
I really like the scifi-lounge vibe you have going here, the glowing edged table especially caught my eye. I would say that your alien heads may be reading a bit more humorous than they should. I do love them. Though I suspect that one vaugely reminds me of Alf
Faf > Thanks! Yeah I definitely agree, it's one of my main concern right now. I've been struggling with that through my art for a long, long time. Hopefully with AO/lighting and good textures I'll be able to improve readability a lot. Otherwise, well I can always go back to the sculpt and reduce the detail density!
It looks great, especially for only one and a half hour's work. It's still too early to really give any useful criticism. Except that... well... it's a Blood Elf. GEE TEE EFF OH OF DA HORD U STUPID TRE HUGGARZ!11 Sorry. My Horde fanboy instincts kick in whenever someone makes mention of a Blood Elf.
