Most of the time you want to have everything the same size if you can. Though there are no rules against it, in this case I would have tried to use as much space as I could, so I would have probably scaled the corners and the bottom. But one thing I did notice is that the puzzle in itself doesn't have a lot of unique…
Live within your means. Go without the things you don't need. Minimize the things you do. Own more than you owe. Don't buy a brand new car. Don't smoke. Don't eat out everyday. Don't buy the plan with all the extras. Don't watch cable...etc. Don't skip payments. Sell any old items to help buy new ones. Basically just learn…
Well, your skins are textures, so you just import the models into a 3d app of your choosing, then apply a material, then assign the textures to the matching slots. Mainly the diffuse color. If you have a particular program you use, I'd honestly suggest starting with a google search or the individual program documentation,…
There are only 4 of us working on our game Routine, surviving mainly on a bit of savings we have left from our jobs, we do all share a flat to keep the costs down and use the front room as our work space. We are running out of money and its stressful times indeed, I think its great that you are being cautious about it and…
nice BUT... not feeling the lighting...looks good...but to me it sells it as fake, as though its lit by electric torches not flame.... the strongest light should be the daylight by quite a bit (but maybe not so saturated and not so purply a touch more green...the torch light shouldnt be quite as strong the flames should be…
Looks like you passed the diffuse right into a normal map filter? It would be better to make an actual B/W height map instead. That way your sticker wouldn't come out all bumpy and lumpy. Way too much wear and tear on an item that wouldn't really see that much action. Phones where put in semi protected places they cause…
It does make sense thanx, although I would like to know before I assume that I can use this other texture I made that looks 100x's better than the actual 16 color pallete painted with 1x brush in adobe. Is a sized down version painted with no color contraints at 256x256 and resize to 128x128 then converted to 16 colors. It…
have a 3point light setup for my character but i am not happy with the results. I also have a SSS skin material applied to my character and i am unsure where to place the spec map in the SSS as in under my diffuse texture i am not getting the right effect. If you are on MSN messenger i would appreciate it if you could pm…
how about you, hawken? what's up with your CRAZY 3D PIXELS?? i know it's a pixel-y self portrait, though. you don't need be 'splaining that part. what's the deal with the row of little icons above the head? THE FAMOUS ASTROMAN: mine is a smaller version of that sig i used on the old forums, which in turn used to be…
I'm a pretty savvy deal-hunter, so I'm not thick enough to fall for that scam. However, it will still be worth it to keep an eye on this Circuit City liquidation. I was around for the first liquidation they ran. It started off at 10%, just like you described, and the deals were crap. But by the time the liquidation was…
