Re: The Babble thread
I was watching Million Dollar Baby the other night and once again, reflecting on how great Eastwood and Freeman are together and generally considering how many awesome films those 2 have created over the years that I personally have loved and form part of my memories. They are, like Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones,… -
Re: EricV's work thread
Yeah, it's not all that different from cars in that respect. You can get something a little older that will work very well most of the time, certainly well enough for a range toy, for 5-800 dollars of most long-arms and rifles that most people are interested in. A decent, basic 1911 will go for 400 dollars or so. But then,… -
Re: Placements
Hey Phil, I don't really think you are ready to be applying. You have quite a few things to show, but not many of them are at a level that will catch the eye of any employer. Sorry to be so harsh, but there needs to be a lot more quality and polish in many of your assets. With that said, think about picking maybe 3 of the… -
Re: Age discrimination
Personally from my own experience reviewing portfolios, when I see someone who has 8-12+ years of experience, they tend to be *very* good, or quite behind the times in terms of being up to date with current tech. There are a lot of really talented guys that fit that bill, but i think most of them are going to be in a… -
Re: PC upgrade suggestions
I would recommend the 660 over the 650, the ?50 brand are a lower end card and really only for home theatre systems or laptops. Also corsair make some of the best PSU's but some of them do suffer from buzzing noises. I would do a quick check and avoid the ones that do. As for the computer as a whole, next gen is just… -
Re: heavy armor sculpt now with more fatty
Ive seen next gen characters go up to 10k so i wouldn't worry about 5000, There's too many variables to consider to determine a standard across all games. So go with as little as you can to represent what you need to, but not so little as to impair how good it looks. Your main concern is the outline at all angles, stuff… -
Re: Truckstop Bathroom
Some things you want to state to us & establish for yourself up front: Is this for realtime or pre-rendered? If realtime, Global Illumination isnt really the norm unless your engine renders it onto a seperate 100% unique UV space. If realtime, some of those items are maybe a wee bit too polygon heavy. The Sinks, the drain… -
Re: Does Maya have an equivalent to Softimage Prop Model Tool?
Hey all, I registered to polycount just to ask this question ;) Im in the same situation as praxedes. I am a Maya user and just watched the exact same gnomon DVD (Character Design and Modeling for Next-Gen Games with Vitaly Bulgarov) and I am searching for a function in Maya that I saw demonstrated in XSI. As praxedes… -

Re: Scifi Slum in UDK
Oniram: Always render in 2k, more or less, right now im not caring alot about the texture-resolution, still havent hit the budget of currentgen consoles, so im cool in that aspect ^^ Jeremy-S: haha, thanks ^^ The normalmap bumpiness is a detailtexture that im using on all the metal objects right now, and its there…
