Can't reasonably be done under 100 triangles. With extruded tapered sides those sideshields are (6*4)+(2*2)=28 triangles per shield, 56 in total. That leaves only 44 triangles for the scope, sphere, antenna and that horizontal rod. There's a way if your engine supports double-sided faces but then (technically) it would go…
Let me add one thing about Crazybump. You aren't just paying for a great tool. You are paying for great support and continued development. You know, there was a time (real or imaginary) where software developers engaged with the community, took ideas, got feedback, and actually listened. We have the ear of an incredibly…
Thanks for sticking along, but feel free to take your time as well. It has improved between the chair and the table. You simply could have used a different texture resolution for the chair, but having two different chairs on one sheet is actually a good idea. It's hard to tell in case of the table itself because of the…
I was talking about Washington state and the Puget sound area sorry should have been more clear. I was starting to explain my personal situation and how it influences my take on the overall discussion. For me 100% electric car would have next to zero impact on the environment and the price of oil hardly effects the way we…

Think of sound libraries…
I already bought most of his tutorials, and TRIED to get through his demonstration videos on Youtube. I ended up Upping the playback speed upto X2. XD One tiny problem with his stuff is that he seems to use custom scripts in some things that make people confused a bit. He mentioned that he uses a script when he applies his…
This is where I come to be inspired and imagine what I can eventually become -- a much better artist. I've been using Maya 2009 Unlimited on my laptop [windows xp] for 1/2 a year now. When I smooth some objects my laptop struggles pretty bag with them. Like a rail model [rifle foregrip] I saw someone else do I pretty much…
tried to finish up the persian temple scene and here was the result: it's certainly something I can use, but I don't think it's right for a trailer. it's okay but I don't think it's that captivating. I think there is some artistic things to fix up like balance of contrast and detail, but even besides that, I think the…
Hey guys! This is a little game enviro i've been cooking up in my spare time over the last 4 weeks. I have a placement coming up at the end of the year to work in games as a 3D artist, and the guy who offered me the spot hasn't seen any of my work yet, so i've been practicing my butt off for all the obvious reasons!…
