Those are the costs to upgrade from 5 and 6 to 7. The XSI guy at GDC tried to sway me, but insted all that happened was we went tit for tat max feature vs XSI feature. In the end max had almost every feature that he could think of but were easier to get at. There were a few unwrapping things that seemed useless to me but…
Small update. Since I'm now on a holiday for a bit from any uni work I decided to make the jump from Mudbox to Zbrush. perfect time to learn as much as possible with no other stress factors or deadlines knocking on my door. So heres my 1st Zbrush sculpt turned into a UDK asset. Baking times included this piece took me…
After looking at that, I feel the consoles have sort of reached a saturation point. I think the 360 & PS3 could go for another 5 years beyond 2012. There just seems like so much breathing room available yet to push these systems as new dev tools are created. Just adding more detail is just going to make the budgets larger…
I'm pushing it lower still, and i'm not underestimating the power of normals, but taking in mind how they will bake to the lowpoly if not enough triangles are there to create enough pixels to capture the data. Also the outline of the shapes it easily seen and normal maps can't hide a 5 sided cylinder against an object. It…
I had it done 5-6 years ago and it's still fantastic. I had worn glasses since I was in the 3d grade. This surgery was bordering on a miracle to me. My procedure involved pealing back the top layer of the cornea before reshaping. Then the "flap" was placed back in position. This aids healing by 50% or better. It was…
i've had wacom driver problems on OSX at home in 2013 (after purchasing an intuos 5 and having to upgrade the driver to support that). does that count? ;) the solution at work with win 7 was to just send the PC with the wacom driver running correctly to hibernate in the evenings and not ever shut it down fully (no windows…
If you aren't applying for an animation or cinematics position.... what is the point in having a demo reel? All it does is make it hard to read the forms of your models, and blurs out any work you put into the textures. At about 5 med/high res jpegs per MB, you can say how good you are alot better than 3 minutes of 360…
Having some environments would be nice if you want to be an environment artist. Your props hold up but the texturing is abysmal. spending 5 minutes in crazybump does not show any employer that you know what you are doing. Crazybump is usually used for a normal overlay or a quick way to process a heightmap. If you are going…
Hey Josh, thanks for your comment. I also saw your rubber texture, looks very nice. I made a render in 5 different environments also texture maps (Albedo, Roughness and Normal). Here it is: Also some older textures that I made like a month ago I tho it was worth putting them here: The first one is supossed to be some sort…
always cool to see guys sculpting. For some awesome tips and work check out http://www.statueforum.com/index.php Basically like polycount but for sculptures. As far as baking goes. I have baked my clone sculpt 4-5 times already and have not had one crack. It is bulked up with tin foil and the key is to bake it at a certain…
