Re: Green with envy
Yeah, like Flaagan was saying, prices will vary greatly depending on what you're buying. I know for a long time Chevy Small Block 350s were dirty cheap basically. I believe they still are. The more obscure the engine, the more expensive it gets to rebuilt. For me, I have a Chevy Big Block 427 and it was a bit harder to… -
Re: WIP: Warhammer-ish mech
When you are done with your class requirement, I suggest you go to poops site if you haven't already and go through all his tutorials. To improve your modeling skills I would suggest you model some real things like cars, trucks, tanks, rooms. It might seem boring at first or mundane but you will learn a lot from doing it.… -

Re: UV'ing low poly models
If you are a 3dsmax user (version 9+) you can check out TexTools which is a bunch of scripts in 1 toolbar. Anyway in TexTools there is a symmetry tool that mirrors either one side to the other one (select half of the faces to mirror) or just select the edge mirror and average booth sides. It works like this: Just make sure… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
I think most of the "big improvements" in the next console cycle with tech like UE4 will be stuff like better shaders capable of more instructions, higher draw call limits, better fx, much better lighting, plus all the fancy DX11 stuff in limited use nowadays like Tesselation. Most of that we can already see in Samaritan.… -
Re: Mini Environment - Tropical Island
I'd still suggest the lighting situation of this picture: http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/3251/typhoonlagoon005.jpg It kinda harmonized all the different assets in an at least favorable way. Also is it just the screenshot or do certain materials have a sharper appearance (the wooden logs) then others (treasure chest and… -
Re: 40-hour work week
There is tons of research that shows neither you nor the company you work for will gain anything by continuously working in excess of 40 hours a week. Most research seems to come to the conclusion that effects of overtime work will show signs of degrading work quality after only TWO weeks of continuous overtime. Assuming a… -
Re: Reference Photo Organization

Re: Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less
Definitely has been my experience. Only worked at a couple of companies, but never got a raise while working for them (A year and a half each, or so). But the first job was low paying (35k/yearUSD) and the second was considerably better (50k/yearUSD). I don't imagine getting a pay raise like that while staying at a…
