Re: Sub 15" Laptop Super Duper non Pooper
I have a Sony Vaio Z and I love it. I7 Core (not quad), an nVidia 330M w/ 1 GB RAM (DX10, no DX11), 8 GB of RAM and dual SSD's in a RAID 0 Array. It's only a 13" screen but has a 1600 x 900 resolution and the whole thing weighs 3 lbs. It's awesome and I can do just about anything on it (including modeling for hours,… -

Re: 2 new dell budget IPS monitors (23 inch - $300)
Curious. "1 Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP DisplayPort (DP) Video Graphics Array (VGA)" So no HDMI port? Does a HDCP DVI require a different plug than normal to enable the HDCP? And what the heck is a DP port? Are there any 120hz versions on the pipeline in IPS? Mostly because I can "feel" the 60hz… -
Re: Concepting - Detailing - HOW?
very weird to hear you of all people asking concepting advice snowfly! what daz and mop have said about reference images is a great way to start. I fall head over heels for patterning and decoration - there's a lot of different types out there. I've taken reference images from a pretty wide array of sources - baroque… -
Re: Wooden Gold Rifle
Are you leveraging a guide/tutorial or essentially an eyeballing free form modeling approach? And even if this object was to be rendered off-line, there are way to many redundant edge loops, effectively contributing too an unnecessarily high density geometry on top of a grid topology, as well. That at a glance will throw a… -
Re: I have no idea what to create next
Every few days I go onto ArtStation, and filter so it just shows 2D concepts. I specifically filter for environments and such. ArtStation has something where you can make Collections of art you like. So When I see something I like, I just add it to one of my Collections. If I'm ever in need of something to make, I just… -
Re: 3D Mesh Formats - Face-Centric or Point-Centric - Pro and Contra
Vertices are the fundamental building blocks of polygonal 3D. Polygons are really little more than just a set of indices into a vertex array. I don't really understand what you mean by being face centric, it's not efficient for each polygon to uniquely carry around the full information of each vertex that makes it up.… -
Re: Opinions about University of Teesside,UK
Thanks a lot for all your feedback's guys :) I guess both the universities are good when it comes to Game Art, Herts has a better ranking than Teesside on the university league tables & Teesside has got specialization modules, which I liked..I guess it's a matter of choice @Di$array Did you do your MA in game art at… -
Re: Maleficent's Throne Room [WIP]
@Edrice - I agree with you regarding the ceiling and am looking in to what I could do with it. I don't think it is very visible at all in the movie, but there has to be something to hang tapestry on! I put together some reference of some ceilings that could probably work and my current goal is to get that sorted out before… -
Re: Year 2 Work by Pete
Cheers for the help guys, managing the poles now. Decided to re-sculpt my character from the base mesh, this time using a more 'lean' body and using a better reference. (Will get some images up when I can). Been looking at dressing the girl up: -Piercings/tattoos -Bones for trinkets -Leather bands etc For the tattoos.…
