I'm wondering on what people would quote a client for the first bag. If it takes on average 12.5 hours. Say you charge a client $20 p/hr that's $250 for a bag. At the back of my mind i'd cringe if i quoted that price to a client; however that's how much the labour costs and isn't unreasonable for a high quality piece. In…
"Wii-killer" is a bit far. Especially since this is just a peripheral at the moment. If Natal proves to be decently popular, Microsoft's best move would be to have a "Natal 360 bundle." Package the Natal camera up with an Arcade 360 and the best 1st party software that works with the Natal. Sell it for $250. That would be…
Do you REALLY need to spend $450 on RAM? Seems like an excessive waste to me, I mean, is it really gonna get you that much more? its still the same stock speed as any other PC6400... And the thing about the new intel's is that the "lower end" chips can overclock up to, and past the high end, high stock speed chips... But…

Graphire 4x5 is fine, I still have mine somewhere and I really can't tell the difference in sensitivity. What I do notice is less buttons, lack of application profiles and (somewhat rarely), lack of tilt function. Whether that is worth $250 or more is up to you, but personally I would trade my intuos in a heartbeat for a…

Marta Orlova - painter, singer, artist, musician, potter... And also very worderful person! She recorded voices on iPhone with Shure MV88 mic…
I have made a vehicle for a 3d cell phone game for a competition on gamedev.net. The vehicle had 67 polys and used a 64x64 texture. Besides that I had made some textures and graphics. All are in here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~tetsuo/images/DF_assets.jpg I was contacted a week or 2 ago for free-lance gig to make characters for…
Okay. The issue is that your texture files are insanely huge. You graphic card can't display 256 8k*8k texture in real time. You can tell max to reduce the diplayed texture resolution but i would resize the original texture files instead (or tell pix4d to generate smaller textures), because you got no gain from your…
Last go I think. Want to go back and do some characters: BTW, This UDK kit has some really nice looking maps. Especially the re-vamp of DM-Deck. I've managed to cut the polycount down to 750 triangles and also decided to reduce the texture size to 256*256. Increasing the brightness and changing the hue of the side…
