It only took two hours per two days for me (yeah just me on the task) to put up an assload (220+) of old Half-Life player models (scavenged from old Cold Fusion archives) up at addondb.com so what's the deal. I had to write descriptions, screenshots, matching authors, etc. Polycount already has all this info, reviews and…
Yeah I'd be all over that. No touch strips, no buttons, no giant border around the entire thing. Make it super thin and super light. I've never understood how anyone can use 6-8 buttons and a couple touchstrips to replace a keyboard with 103+ buttons. I mean I guess it might work for the concept guys and the painters who…
[ QUOTE ] i guess the usual maya workaround for this is called a technical artist or tool developer [/ QUOTE ] We're the last line of defense between Maya and angry artists. . .:D [ QUOTE ] scanning factor: isn't cgFX way outdated? i looked it up a while ago and it seemed they never made it beyond maya 4.5/5.0 with the…
You might be better off putting in a global img override in the css; img { border: 0; } Saves you having to specify it for every image you put in, as more often than not I imagine you want no borders on images. Then you can go back and put in borders if you really want them with a class identifier. e.g. img { border: 0; }…
The modeling looks pretty solid from what I can tell. The texture needs work. Repeating rifles especially the Winchesters are typically made of a few types of metal depending on their purpose in the gun. It depends on who made it and when. Some have a hexagon shaped barrel which can help bring some detail to what can be a…
i never managed to work well with automatic exposure. i say use photometric lights, and you can either use indirect illumination or just use the final gathering only. Aren't you gonna put any lights on the ceiling? its gonna be really gloomy if you don't. Anyway, use a self illuminated material for the lights on the…
Its near impossible to really tell you exactly what you need without knowing what direction your going in with 3d, but from personal experience LW is a MUCH more powerful app than C4D. Ive only used blender a little bit, but it seems like a pretty powerful app too, if you can get past how unusual its interface is. Just my…
Having spent several k in the last few years on DSLRs. I find it strange that some of my best photos I ever took were on a £40 3 megapixel no zoom camera I bought in 2003. The noise on it was terrible and DOF could only be created using the macro mode with a bit of ingenuity. Also I could take 16 pictures before my 32meg…
To start, you need a SSE-compatible CPU(P3 or Athlon XP) or above. So, if you have a Duron or a K7 it won't run. Need Win2000 SP4/WinXP SP3 or above(Vista,W7,etc). I've not tested it on Windows Server 2003/2008 but it should run ok too. Try to re-install the .NET 2.0 and DirectX9/10. A Windows Update won't hurt neither. If…
@pior dude, you recorded a tut video for me, that was amazing! Thank you a lot! That was the result I got: I had to experiment with different density values, and 0.03 was the best I could get. Values below that threshold were making Blender crash. The gaps are looking weird though. I think that's probably due to the remesh…
