GTA type games? Pure speculation, but I'd guess somewhere between 10-50 hours from blockout to setup in engine. What's the purpose of the question? If you are an artist in training, I think it makes more sense to make sure you can hit your quality target first, regardless of how much time it takes, and then when you can…
Its all going to depend on if they abandon the shovelware philosophy. Nintendo can work magic with very little, the GC was amazing and the Wii has around 10 really great titles, so a console thats as fast as the 360 and ps3 is all they need. I'm bored of playing as a bald space marine playing duck behind the cement…
Lest see... XSI I'm guess isn't even on the charts anymore. Modo has been picking up popularity With all the indie devs on a tight budget these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Blender has picked up popularity and I'm pretty sure that more people are starting out with Maya these days than 3DS Max. So I'm guessing it's…
Sometimes when a GPU isn't taxed enough, the CPU, RAM, or some combination can become a bottleneck. There might be a greater difference in performance if they increased the resolution to 2560x1440 with 16X AA. That said, I don't think it's the case. Tom's is getting similar results with even higher resolutions and higher…
I personally wouldn't touch Quixel suite with a 10 foot poll unless you already pay for Photoshop. It's quick but performs like shit and has zero flexibility. Blenders texturing is kind of crappy and I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone despite blender being my go to modeling program. Substance designer are absolutely worth…
Rather , I'd love to see Allen West run for President. Alan Keyes lost last time, but they are both my take ANY day over Obama. I wonder if what the REAL problem is is people just HATE Black Conservatives? More NPR garbage: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/03/10/134388981/npr-ceo-vivian-schiller-resigns…
I'm a complete stranger around these parts My suggestion: The 30 min toilet challenge. Model, UV, texture, and take screenshots of a toilet........... in 30 mins. When the time is up. You stop. I did a 10 min toilet challenge once for myself, and it looked like shit so 20 more mins might get some better results but still…
While I like the scratching you added to the painted areas, the blade and other metal areas are far too clean IMO. I'm assuming you're going for a clean unused look but if you want to gain more traction, add some wear. It always brings metal to life and adds a story that instantly makes it more interesting to look at.…
I've set the detail to high and tried highres lightmaps, didnt make much difference. I'll mess with the lightmap UVs and see what happens. If you look at the original problem though, the artifacting is going right across like 10 different UV shells - I dont think the lightmap UVs are whats causing this. I see that they…
darkthwilson: Thanks for the critique. I was able to get the hologram softer with the alpha like that. Not able to get a bloom yet tho, multiplying by 10 only made the maps brighter( the Lines). The hologram in the back was able to get a bloom so kinda confused as to why i cant get it on the table hologram. Anyways a quick…
