I got this apothecary desk set from staples, pretty cheaply too. It's mostly fake-wood, but has a real wood desktop. It's a pretty decent set up too. http://www.staples.com/Staples-Apothecary-Collection-Mahogany-Finish/product_SS1034817 I got it in black and then bought out all the local staples of their little tiny cubby…
Yeah, bones would work a lot better - why would you need to attach biped arms rather than use bones anyway? You can set the bone's sizes to match biped very closely, you could even give them object colours to match the biped if you wanted. Just link the Bone clavicles to the Biped spine, set the rotation method to Local…
You could probably get this done much cheaper at any place that owns a CNC machine. That's what they're probably using. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC I'd imagine it would be even cheaper if you bought your own wood locally. Getting a company in europe to make something out of american wood is always going to be…
A entry to mid level gaming pc should be decient enough for modeling. I'm running a 3200 XP w/ 1 gig Mem and Radeon 1600xt. It runs XSI 5.1 fine, but can get a lil laggy in Zbrush. Anything faster than this should be good, just don't expect renders to be quick. I can recommend www.memoryexpress.com if you live locally to…
I used local xyz bake in 3ds max. I used this because the bake will be superclean compared to other types of normal maps. Earthquake recommended it when making his futuristic gun. Also to sort out any wonky bits I painted them out on the normal map by using the Rectangular Marquee tool in PS and pulling it across over the…
ha, well according to that it looks like a group of lawyers out to dispel "swiftboat veterans for truth" style political hit jobs. I don't see any mention of the national guard rounding people up. At most they mention that part of the group is a local sheriff... Big leap from concerned citizens trying to set the record…
Higher megapixels doesn't always mean higher quality. http://blogs.smugmug.com/onethumb/2007/02/08/the-megapixel-myth-youre-getting-ripped-off/ Sites like Steves Digicams (I think thats the name) have reviews on every camera ever made. Just check for deals in local stores or on www.dealnews.com and look up a review on it.…
What do you mean Eric? You can't 'recalculate constantly' otherwise it won't be baking, I guess it's not what you're trying to say. Do you mean something like storing local occlusion in spherical harmonics? That's basically how you would do dynamic ambient occlusion (you could also do directional occlusion, which is pretty…
Sandbags should be more flat. Now they look like pumped celophane bgs. U can just scale on local Z axis (or what ever is vertical in ur app). It could also the look iprove if u put them tighter togeter, even if they will penetrate into each other more. With this lowpoly it`s definetely not for FPS game Also I think the…
