Well, it sort of depends on what you mean by legacy. If you mean pre-PBR diffuse/spec/gloss, this is pretty easy to set up, simply use the default shader, and in the reflectivity tab turn Fresnel to 0 and turn off Conserve Energy. This will work give pretty similar results to older shaders. If you mean you want a diffuse…
From your reference, I can see the object has paint layer, and bronze underneath. I would set up exactly how it is: a first bronze layer that cover entire object, then a paint layer on top WITH custom mask (grunge mask, or even hand painted mask) that will reveal the bronze layer underneath => simulate the way the paint…
Great idea JadeEye, I'll definitely get to work on incorporating some freckles and blemishes! Can't believe i haven't thought of that (especially since she's a redhead). BagelHero: I've been watching that video over and over while making this character and I can't seem to match their results with the same settings. Around…
The GT 640 would be more of a side-step than an upgrade, they are pretty similar spec wise, http://www.hwcompare.com/12941/geforce-9800-gt-1gb-vs-geforce-gt-640-ddr3/ I would at least get a 660ti or 760 if you are going to upgrade your video card. If you want an idea of what you could get for $600, here's a good starting…
Pixel snap's the answer! I never use grid snap in the uvw editor. It's almost entirely useless for me and (especially on lower spec stuff) pixel snap just works a lot nicer. It's the icon with a p on it when you hold down on the grid snap icon. edit: like Kodde mentioned, you'll need to actually use a texture with it. If…
Thanks mikhga! You're crit is spot, and there are a lot of those things I need to implement tonight. I put them on my checklist! Here's an early texture for one section of the stop. Right now, the peeling paint is too haphazard; and it needs to have more wear and tear at the bottom and less on top. I also have yet to add…
@SCB Thanks! I plan on taking this all the way to a finished in-game character complete with normal, spec, AO etc. @Tenchi Thanks! I agree with you about the ear and now that you mention it I think I am going to slow my roll a bit and give the ear some more love. You're right about his build, he was very cut but definitely…
I couldn't find all the specs for both of these tablets.

lots of those beginning shots are really dark. cant seem to make out what is going on. i like the jump pad(?) thing. its well presented and the model looks nice. the sniper rifle at the end has a REALLY dark spec making the metal look wrong. overall i liked it and right now im in a similar situation (graduated and looking…
Honestly, the core 2 extreme is a waste of money. You can buy the E6600 or E6700 and overlock them to the Extreme's specs (air cooling is more than enough) and you'll save about $400-500 right there. I'm running an E6600 o/c'd to 2.95ghz (stock is 2.4ghz), and it's only around 40C. I'm running a GeForce 7950GX2 graphics…
