if my basic calculations are right, subscription fees seem very reasonable to me. its like $11 per month (1 year sub with 500 credits of commercial use) which gets you the following every month. seems very fair for the money. 500 Small Sized Images 250 Medium Sized Images 125 Large Sized Images 63 XLarge ImagesUp to 22…
Good discussion happening here. I just wanted to share the links to our various forums for Unreal, CryEngine, and Unity. Some people may be more interested in them now as the new engines and tools get release. Unreal Tech Talk: http://www.polycount.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=63 CryEngine Tech Talk:…
[ QUOTE ] Their defense relies mostly on nukes [/ QUOTE ] Not true China has the largest standing army on earth. Aswell, the number has 'almost' doubled within the 10 years. That says soemting about their economy. Training and feeding an army the size of a small country is no small feat. -Ground Force (Army) (1.9 million…
Kite/vertical, that's an inefficient amount of maps. You only need a few good ones: AO, Top-down/lightbake and Cavity. Pior illustrates how less is more in his thread (also how to make the cavity maps): http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1945484&postcount=63 I've used Knald, Crazybump and Xnormal photoshop…
5hours on hardended... I was recently replaying through cod4 to refresh myself and having played Modern warfare 2 its really nice to see how much less theyve used the "constant spawning till you reach x" mechanic. There were a few times that it was annoying... mainly the smoke area on the oil rig and a couple near the…
Spectre and meltdown won't be sorted out in software, an actual design resolution to meltdown could be years away. You can still get infected even with microcode updates. Anti-virus can not prevent meltdown infection, at best it can prevent you from spreading it to others. About the vulnerabilities found with AMD, it's not…
Cool 63'd Han Solo :) . Only thing I'd say is that it's a pretty 'safe' character. There aren't a lot of details, and nothing really stands out THAT much. I think the best part of it is the face, honestly. It has a lot of character. The part that looks like it could have the most improvement is the hair. Granted, I'm not…

I would personally recommend print media, if your goal is figurative drawing/sketching whilst learning from a Master i.e. Andrew Loomis - Figure Drawing For All It's Worth https://www.amazon.com.au/Figure-Drawing-All-its-Worth/dp/0857680986 Chapter 2: The Bones And Muscles Illustrations 59 - Important Bones 60 - Muscles On…
Really liking this discussion happening. Engines as a service is something our industry should have adopted years ago, and I am happy to see its finally happening. $19 or $10/month is nothing for the technology you'll have (legal) access to. I just wanted to share the links to our various forums for Unreal, CryEngine, and…
