hi man, thanks for the nice words on the ''main piece'' of the set. I'll try to share with you some thoughts we had leading to the final model you see here. When I started concepting the set, I wanted to have something cool on his back since is the most visible spot. The initial idea was to have a body chained to it, one…
Great thread idea, I love it, thanks for starting it and thanks to everyone who added their story so far. You're all amazing people and I love reading your stories, I wish I had more time to sit and read, I'll have to catch up when I can. I'll try to add my answers when I get a chunk of time... It seems like I keep saying…
Yeah I know I have said some things that some people have found offensive but that was never my intentions. I think the major problem with forums is that people don't know the tone of the comments and a jokingly type comment can look very serious and offensive. Like my comment about I like to torture a cat from time to…

Thanks for the info, I am reading it now =) [/ QUOTE ] You have to understand it from this angle too m8. Many Muslims feel that the western world in hell bent on seeing the destruction of Muslims.

I tend to have the problem with many horror movies in that I am a fairly confident and analytical infividual who is fairly…
If you still don't know who do the concept, it was made by Artur Sadlos known also as Torturr. It's his website: http://www.torturr.com/ and his blog http://artursadlos.blogspot.com/.
so what alternative careers have you ever considered apart from computer graphics. I am seriously considering ending my involvement after 27? odd years but nothing springs to mind. i still enjoy making stuff, but without anyone being interested , what's the point? Too many CG artists around these days i feel and I don't…
Hello, folks. Doing a bunch of calculations on UV faces and script is pretty slow. What I've noticed is that it works reliably faster if I switch modifier stack from unwrap to one modifier below (epoly in my case). Tried to switch modifiers in script, but it gets confused if there are several unwraps in a row, so I would…
Yeah, I am one of those crazy ones who prefered to do everything in Zbrush. It has few advantages. You get more predictable and understandable control of cavity masking there than what usual nomal map to curvature , or hipassed height to curvature do in regular texture editors. The whole work flow is more in line with…
It sure is a fine line, but exactly how much more important is national sovereignty than the well being of the citizens? Let's take the example of Saddams Iraq. Okay, the reasons we were given was bullshit, there was no WMD's and the people behind that particular lie should be held accountable. However, the Iraqi bath…
