Re: O/T any airgunners out there?
i've got an air rifle, though nothing as nice as what you've got there. mine's black and sort of looks like they were going for an assault-rifle look. i really don't like shooting anything living, even bumblebees, but i love to blow gi-joes and other toys from my childhood apart with my bb gun. i've also go a pretty nice… -
Re: Game Design and the National Guard
Yea, I agree that it is deplorable, Nate. I haven't heard if any of them have taken legal action or not, but I agree that they should. I served 4 years on active duty in the USAF from 1990-1994 and 3 years in the Oregon Army National Guard from 1997-2000. Don't let them get you with that "you only have 12 more years until… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
Hmm, i'm going to jump on the cynics wagon here. I managed to convince myself to keep my copy after that release trouble with steams servers. The game indeed took forever to install. This is'nt the ground breaking engine I was hoping for. Nothing about it is new. It looks like they just slapped a Giles GI lightmapper into… -
Re: the last airbender
Cameron is doing Avatar... an extremely unfortunately named film that is completely separate from Avatar: The Last Airbender (hence why they've dropped Avatar from the title for this film. Also it gives Shamwow more room for his name since let's be honest: his name is more important than the film itself). So that's… -
Re: [WIP] - Sci-FI Terminal/ATM - Begginer looking for advivce
Thanks Dethling! That helps, after reading your reply I decided to find a course to follow so I can get a better understanding of my end goal and get more comfortable with the whole process end to end. I'm going to post my progress here both as a way to document my learning and also incase anyone stuble across this thread… -
Re: 3DS Max vs Maya
That is subjectively speaking, not objectively. I respect your opinion, but I just have to disagree entirely that the quick modeling I experience comes down to knowing the application better. I honestly believe that Maya is faster when it comes to quickly modeling out base meshes and snapping verts. The UI along with… -
Re: Freelancing
There's real freelancing, and then there's students with no professional experience with dodgy software working from home calling themselves freelancers. Just like every scene kid with a cracked copy of CS2 is a 'graphic designer', seems every CG student is a 'freelancer'. Since you say you're still in school, I'd guess… -
Re: Props from a noob to game art
First of all, thanks. I know you guys are busy and have other things to do with your time so I appreciate it. :) Second I finally finished Yu-Gi-oh's Millennium Puzzle. The challenge was just the texture (both unwrapping and painting). The eye was modeled in Maya and baked with X-Normal as a normal map. I also used… -
Re: Do you ever think of making an impact on the world as an artist?
Well here's the thing about art. I had the same question as you in the past, and I asked my friend what he thought about it. Basically what he told me is that art drives everything around us, because lets face it, there will always be a need for it. Art inspires, motivates, and drives people to do things. Humans like art… -
Re: Scanner recommendations?
I have this scanner, which looks to have been replaced by this other scanner. I love it, year or two ago I was looking for basically what you're looking for, an affordable scanner for pencil sketches. Things I was looking for included a lack of warm-up time and a height-hinge thing on the bed cover, so that you could stick…
