UV MAPPING COMPLETE! I eventually figured out how to make the process go by faster so i'm glad i got that done! Also i'm pribably going to completely redo the weapon, in its current state it sits at 600 tri's which is WAY too high since i'm already passing the limit on the character. If my job doesn't get in the way i'll…
3D Painting is GPU dependent, not CPU. If your GPU is old (600 series or so, the minimum required) it'll have difficulties running projects above 2 to 4k fluidly. I use a GTX 970 with 32 GB of RAM and I have no slowdowns when painting 8k maps. I don't see why DDO or NDO wouldn't take advantage of multiple processors. The…

This is an excellent 101 in modular texture design! Really love the results you got from this exercise. That being said, is there any advantage of what your doing on a technical level? It seems like your trading texture memory for multiple render passes (provided what i know of how unreal renders objects with multiple uv's…
I actually had a lead artist who made 300 to 600 a month off of models of military vehicles he had made that he was selling via Turbosquid. From what I've heard thats what really sells through their site, realistic vehicles, weapons, basically stuff that military training software companies can use because they would…
The most decent wages you can expect in the US: Experience 1 year or less: 35-40k 2 years: 45-50k 3 years: 50-60k 4 years: 60-80k 5 years: 65-90k 6 years: 65-90k It starts to cap out if you don't keep advancing. But, I think you have a greater chance after 6 years to get a much sweeter deal. Some startup that has vc money…
Whatever makes it looks good and have a nice silhouette. Don't worry about keeping it 'low poly'. The last thing you want is to have a chunky, blocky silhouette of this which would deter from the entire beauty of the piece - just because you want to keep 'low poly' in mind. Spend geo where it matters, and here, it clearly…
Man comic con is a blast. It sucks that I am going to miss it this year but paying 600 for a plane ticket to go is a bit well... retarded. I wouldn't have any cash left over to buy any off the good stuff that will be there so instead I sent a bunch of cash to my buddy through paypal to get it for me. Lux...it's a lot of…
I dont know if I could actually handle driving a ZR1 in real life...I would probably kill myself in 20 minutes or less in one of those...Cant say I have a lot of experience behind 600+ hp haha Can you take off upgrades in the game temporarily? They keep throwing E class championships in the beginning and I have to go back…
