Interesting theory about Nikki/and all other personas, but you've forgotten about that random one that decided to show up in Season 2 and took her out partying and getting her hubby killed and all... So, quintplets? lol It was a pretty interesting first two epis, but did anyone else think some of the characters were…
and if max crashes you can usually find an autoback file in the default max directory eg 3dsmax\autoback\autoback_01.max. You can set the frequency they are saved in the preferences. I have autoback's saved every 5 mins and have around 15 of them (they save sequentially). I learnt the hard way that Maya has no default…
Thanks for the crit, I agree. However I have a new monitor which is pretty bright and saturated so the lighting is not dark at all. For the gun I really wanted to do a classical "retro-futuristic" gun as me generally see in pinup illustration, and then I changed my mind... I will do one with more curves when I find the…
Perhaps you might benifit from playing through a few games before dismissing one of the most exciting times in gaming history. Due to carpal tunnel, repetitive strain injury, tendonitis and arthritis the condition of my hands was such, that for about 4 or 5 years I could not really play games. I was given a good anti…
Don't judge me, but I'm new to Polycount in terms of "posting" (i have been following the challenges, to see what people are doing, actually very cool stuff).So I decided that I should start to do portfolio so I can find a job on Game Industry later on. (I have a job as 3D artist, I'm not in the game field area though).…
Thank you for all of the replies. I went ahead and built a low res version of the model in Maya and brought it into ZBrush but am still having problems. Here is a screenshot of the model with wires; a clean render can be put up if requested: Basically as you can see the model is broken up into many polygroups - my plan of…
Well. I find PBR a huge pain in the ass . Something programmers think should be easy while it's actually pretty opposite. That probably depends on its implementation. UE4 one is still allowing a lot of freedom for the artists for the price of redundant realtime calculations, double extra fresnel, few extra macro layers…
The only reason drugs can help some people be more creative than they usually are, is because the portions of their brain that makes them think too much, or makes them unable to concentrate, etc, stop working. There is more to it but I don't feel like looking it up. LOL. The quick and easy explanation is certain parts of…
Theres nothing really new going on in the games industry. Most of the big layoffs coming from Midway were long expected, EA letting lots go isnt a new thing, the Dallas implosion was also a long time coming. The only new element is the recession and credit being difficult to gain and investors being more frugal in reaction…
yeah, psp only 480p p- about the zune hd, you have to use the zune software to get stuff on it. and it outputs up to 720p. I had barely gotten my zune120, so the missus is not keen on me dropping a wad for the zhd. I'd imagine that if you use iTunes heavily, you'd have some issues as far as library management are…
