Gentlemen! After the immeasurable success of the XNA game Revenge of the Evil Aliens (over 99 sales in one month!) the production of a sequel is unavoidable. Unfortunately I feel that I have seen all that Google Image Search has to offer, as well as burning through most of my favours with friends and colleagues for the…
Prevent yourself from ever using the Zbrush "shift snap to front view" shortcut, at all costs - Because there is no guarantee that the angle of the head in your model is the same as the angle the head was when the photo was taken. Meaning that if you do snap to front view and match what you see on a good front view photo…
$180 for a case you've got to be insane. People always brag about cases and airflow and cable systems. I've used $150 cases and i've used $30 cases, there is very little practical difference in quality unless you're overclocking to 16ghz(airflow issues etc) or if you open your case and mess with it every day(build…
We dont have any culture at all. None. "We" I mean white Canada. We have ZERO culture. If you are white, you dont say "We" IMO. Our white culture is summed up in a single simpsons or south park episode (which is what makes them funny...) Native canada does have great culture but the people themselves are not benefiting in…
[ QUOTE ] When people experience death, they talk about a white light that has often been associated with the belief of heaven. Scientist explain this as neurons firing, I guess sending random information to the visual receptors within the brain. Brain damage begins only 3 to 5 minutes after the heart stops sending oxygen…
xp 64bit came out in 2003 and had built in SP1, two years after xp released around august 2001. Hardly late in its cycle if you look at its lifespan. I started using it around the end of 2003 and had no issues with it apart from sound support from Creative, but that is to be expected as they are always late with drivers…
This man ^^^^^ Keep pumping out the new work, finish one piece straight into the next. Remove the thoughts about getting a job and just keep pumping the work out into the world. I like how Mark called it a 'finished product'. I think a lot of artists (especially young ones) get to that point where they are like ' okay its…
Why overclock in the first place? This is going to be a very, very fast computer that will likely handle 99% of what you throw at it without breaking a sweat. You can always overclock in a few years when you're actually doing things that will stress this system, but, honestly I don't see any realistic need to do so now.…
@thepapercut, thanks a lot for the kind words! Believe me, I have an entire folder of junk that I would never, ever, let anyone see. When I approach anything I try to have a benchmark for whats good (usually work by pro which I can compare and contrast my piece to). If my final result can't compare in any way or if I get…
Recently I've been revisiting the texture naming convention currently in use, and I'm at a bit of a crossroads. While this has barely any impact on the end user (modding/asset extraction aside), it has a huge impact on UX. Currently used naming scheme allows for quick identification while consisting of only three…
