i'm not saying that faster processors aren't good. each of those cores is clocked at only like 3.2ghz. unless you somehow wrote a game or an application to use 80 (prob 160 with HT) threads (which no one will), it's completely useless. look how much trouble people are having with the ps3 and its 6 separate threads. servers…
@Snowfly Yeah, I considered that, however most of my strengths are in a design/management position. I simply don't have the skill to be a lead artist which is what the community aspect of the unofficial polycount project is looking for. My stuff would probably look so bad compared to the others, it wouldn't get used. And I…
The Good: - Finally landed a steady bill paying job - Through self discipline actually started too enjoy making art again - Maybe a move interstate in the near future - Oh...and new romance might be on the cards, because a clairvoyant said so :) The Bad: - My arthritic knee has been acting up lately - Put on a ton of…
Helping out around the house is good. I would advise against getting a part time job unless you absolutely have to though. I tried this, and it drained me much more than I thought it would. I would advise you to try and set normal hours to work on portfolio work. Set your alarm clock, get up at a regular time and get in a…
Another little update. I don't have a render of the full church right now but it's undergone a number of changes. I've mostly been doing serious Substance library refactoring and additions. I've replaced the roof railing with its final mesh. This is baked down, tiles nicely and is essentially finished. Now to just create…
So I had a very hectic week a couple of weeks back where I had to get some of my stuff as finsihed as I possibly could. So after a week working round the clock I was pretty pumped out and took a well deserved pause from the computer screen. some of the stuff i worked on during that hectic week: But in between all that I've…
ideas: a car. a fire hydrant that expresses an emotion. a simple particle effect in the 3d app of their choice. [a firework explosion] a doctor suess inspired machine. a 3d representation of a proverb, like time flies you'd do a clock with wings. a plate of food. [try to model broccolli, i dare ya] a space ninja…
do you need a work permit/visa for both places by any chance? canada seems way easier to get into, the states can be a hard nut to crack these days and very costly for the employer to get you over. another thing to compare is expected time spent at the office and the amount of holidays. after all, you want the travelling…
Just got it, can't wait to clock some time in tonight. ***Edit: It's a very good, if not a bit too simple of a game. Truly a very pure experience for a video game. The mix of 3d and 2d graphics are quite charming, something Capcom should have pulled off far better with their PSP Ghost and goblins game that's around the…
The first thing that actually hit me was the face, she looks like she has 6 o clock shadow! Better blending of the cheeks area into the rest of the face is needed. Other problems to me are in the arms, where the forearm meets the bicep, there's a seam at the front there, also there's no bicep definition.There's something…
