Awhile ago I purchased a Samsung Syncmaster B2430HD. At the time I was not familiar with the various monitor panel types, I was going by reviews and mostly using the monitor for games at the time. It seemed solid and a fair price; however, after I learned the difference between panel types and the monitor I purchased is in…
the animation/skinning side in max has been neglected for years though, hasn't it? at least i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw what blender can do/how easy it is to do in that regard. CAT is 2009 hype with very little development done after. character studio ... much older and clunkier. skin modifier - urgh, this thing…
Hey. Kinda new here myself, I was sortof provoked into joining when I saw your Indiana Jones model, and bbob is right. The clothes are way off. Especially the hat. Take a good look at these photos: http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/1183/76723349.jpg That's how it's supposed to look. Notice the pinch in the front and the…
Having to experience that ones favorite hobby probably isn't intended to be is not fun, and it's a cycle of people expecting games to not be for females, giving parents the idea that girls probably shouldn't be encouraged. It does happen more often than not, it's like the same thing everyone here probably experiences when…
Yes, that is what I mean. The converter/importer will most probably re-evaluate all mesh data to optimize the vertex/tri setup. And I think that things like handness are more or less ignored. Splitting the UVs or using a hard edge to enforce the converter/importer to handle tangent space correctly, is a valid "hack". With…
Seems like you've sorta made up your mind about the state of the industry without doing much research besides the games you've played for fun. I agree with MoP. Games are expanding in every direction. We've got the mainstream stuff getting more mainstream (madden, tekken, etc) and the "indy" games are growing as well (as…
Oh hey there, fellers! Haven't posted here in a while, and wasn't planning to tbh, art has gone from a passion to a hobby for me so I don't do this as often enough as I'd like. Anyway, the scene is pretty much done, just figured I could post it here first in case there are any glaring issues I'm missing or if there are…
I guess some of you failed to appreciate quality that came out of this places of higher learning even tho topics that contain 'recent graduate looking for advice and crit ' are very common So this ppl have done their diligence jumped through all the hoops to get a degree but don't have much to show for it without a single…
Greetings fellow art nerds! I'm posting this earlyish WIP in an attempt to document my progress throughout this personal project of mine. Clearly it is still in the early phases and will come to be more populated/polished as time moves on, and the lighting still looks like complete ass, but these are all things that will…
I want to do a hobby project with unreal engine and looking for someone else to do it with to bounce ideas and help each other out. The plan for now (this could change) is to make a crime scene. This will be a very good opportunity to get better at everything related to creating meshes, textures but also workflow and…
