1100 is the take home pay per week. A friend of mine is already over there on a job and that's his salary. This is quite normal for civil construction and actually a lot less than in Australia, for example. Sorry, a bit off-topic as you're talking about artist salary, but I just thought it no harm to throw in a comparison…
Still haven't figure out the 0 to 1. Although all of my maps are within the 0,1 borders if that is what you are talking about. I tried completely resurfacing and remapping the problem parts and only one of five worked. However, when I made the maps in ZBrush it worked fine. There must be some weirdness in how Lightwave…
Well... Why are you doing your dissertation on Facial Expressions? How can you expect someone else to answer that for you? It's specifically asking why you chose that one haha. ;) But in all seriousness, start googling. There are tonnes of articles about facial expressions, their history in games, their evolution in terms…
That's why i'm saying, it's not bad at all, the problem is that beginners usually just bake it wrong and instead of learning the basics properly, they would rather to spend time fixing something that shouldn't even be wrong if they did know how to do it properly. The thing is that people usually take everything that is…
hard edges at uv seams. figure out why they're good (there's a thread right here in tech talk) and use them. also unrelated to your problem but try and avoid long thin triangles, they're bad for performance (you can read up on that) annnd can easily cause problems when texturing, especially when the islands aren't…
Depending on how complicated the shader is it can double or triple (or more!) the final vert count, same with adding lots of lights. Of course you might find that it's having almost no impact on the frame rate and there's a bottleneck somewhere else. If you want more info you will probably have to find someone who actually…
I once was talking to my friend on the phone.. while the TV was on in the background once. And I was going to say.. HEY MAN.. THATS REALLY.. COOOOL!. But just before i got to saying "COOOOL".. during some random commercial at that very moment.. a guy said "COOOOOOOL!" I flipped out, cuz its like he finished my sentence.…
I don't have an Amazon account, but the idea of paired morphs sounds great! I don't know if you're correct that the corrective blendshape peaks at half the value of the main though: if we're talking about two eyelids meeting in the middle, the horizontal rate of change will reduce to zero as the vertical transition…
Xeno: Let's talk about this! What do you mean by they are everywhere? One important thing I should point out is that this is going to be primarily videos--less a portfolio page. While I do plan to dump some images in once in a while, 95% of it will be video content. Do the links at the top not solve the disorganized mess?…
Looking awesome!..will try this soon.. But I'm using CS4 and apparently someone was able to use it in CS4. Hope we get clear description of why some people get a CS4 error and some don't, so that the error will never happen again with another user! PS: I guess you should post it in "Technical Talk" instead of "Pimping and…
