Well of course, its not going to be completely reflective. But where it is reflective is that the study is based on peoples reactions based on aesthetics, but that being said i think its mostly interesting as a hypothetical as it would be highly difficult to do a similar study on art. I'd love to see Deviantart or Cghub…
Firstly, are you auto-playing random songs on your blog? Please don't do that, haha If it's any consolation I think it's very common to feel frustrated when you start a drawing or sculpt or model. Not to high-jack or self-promote but I found a old zbrush file with it's history and looked through it and the start of the…
I know it goes against what many people believe, but I think they should just stop wasting money trying to protect games from piracy. Here's some of my reasoning: 1. Pirating has been going on how long now? At least 25 years that I know of. Way back in the days of Leisure Suit Larry, where you had to answer random…
I cant say I'm a pro investor but I did make a bit of money and learned a few tips&tricks. I will try to hare them: 1: It's not easy and not fast money [it might feel that sometimes but its not) it require patience. Make sure that you wont need that money in the near future. 2: Research!!! The most important part! You…
TGA is uncompressed: It's like a flattened PSD, you can count on every pixel bieng where you placed it when you open it up. If you're going to be importing and compressing the textures later for use in an engine considering they normally have their own compression method. You probably do not want to compress already…
If you're posting your work on any online outlet that allows comments/response posts/what have you and you flip shit on someone who critiques, you're a dumbshit. That's Internet 101 - you post stuff online, you open the door. That being said, there is some truth to what the he (might not be a he but I'll call them a he)…
Behind the scenes Unity is actually converting your Maya files to an fbx file using some Maya optimised settings. So in the end, everything functionally ends up as the same format in the editor. There's advantages and disadvantages to using either file type; - double clicking the mb file in the editor will load the asset…
@MM Yea, i use them too (NDo, Crazybump, and photoshop). But mudbox makes it much easier and has a great viewport. As far as position to judge, im not sure what you mean. How many people here are in the top 1% of quality sculptors? I know for a fact that the brush criticism (too few/obsolete) is nonsense as the brushes are…
Thanks for the comments oobersli: the team I made this prop for wanted it done this way, they told me to make a model. As for not needing a corner piece, how?? If its to match the concept it needs one as far as I can see. Also the highpoly model was made, although the strips were photosourced and then converted to…
There's something really rotten at the core of the education industry. Disregarding the arguments about how an individual student approaches their studies, I think it's really shitty that these institutions can charge such exorbitant fees for courses that are often in no way geared towards actually successfully gaining a…
