Think about what all this would mean. You want the government to pony up the money to pay for R&D, but where does the government get that money? You and me. I for one don't want my taxes spent on creating new technologies when all the profits from those efforts go to the car companies and not back in my pocket. Second,…
[ QUOTE ] I also recommend painting simply in color ie: what the final color will be because that's how you would paint if you didnt have a computer.

But, over the years i noticed some things that i think could help you in your endeavor. Let's break down the disclaimer that you started with: 1. You state that…
[ QUOTE ] I wasn't referring to projectors, just rear-projection screens. And throwing money at the issue in question won't fix it. It will help, but not nearly enough, and not in the right way. I've seen many extremely high-end screens choke when it comes to scaling. And even with the best screens, allowing the screen…
Your modeling and texturing is pretty solid but your environment skills could use some improvement. You included some great reference but a couple of things working against you.
