Middle East House - need some advice
Here is my first attempt (though been playing with this for quite some time). I'm planning to make three types: Poor, Middle, and Rich. Poor is here, and it will be base to extrapolate to higher classes. My main problem was to find any good references, and find good proportions. Both unresolved I think ;p. Optimization and… -
Re: Normal Map Problem
Yeah, Google maybe is not very specific and helpful advice but chat GPT sure is. I didn't ask it to explain me vertex based shading personally but did for a lot of real time shader and pixel manipulating techniques and it have been best teacher and best focused and compacted info no nvidua published GPU gems ever been for… -
Re: Researching The Seattle Area
This sounds almost exactly what I had done years past. I lived in Florida working for Wal-mart and picked up everything I could fit in my car and moved to Seattle to look for work. I will tell you now, it is both the best and worst decision I have ever made. Seattle is an awesome town and by all means I really enjoyed my… -
Re: 3dmax with Bodypaint - Advantage???

Re: Internet Rot and brain drain: The loss of technical knowledge as sites and forums decay
Don't forget that beyond web tutorials there are also several (at least two?) of those Vertex e-books from a few years ago. I recall those being full of little niche-tutorial gems. Its terrible that forums are going out of fashion and are being replaced by reddit and perhaps Facebook and Twitter feeds. That stuff is so… -
Re: SSX DD
The "multiplayer" is the ghost system. You can chase your friends ghosts, while trying to beat their score. Much like need for speed: The run, youll know when you beat your friend, or your friend beats you. Then their are "global events" where you sign up for a certain event, which have their own restrictions for equipment… -
Best motion capture environment for long form animation.
Hopefully the title makes sense, but I essentially want to be able to record facial and motion capture data over 30 minute sessions, and then edit it down. I'm finding a lot of programs such as unity struggle with the editing process of this. And I'm considering maya, however I'm concerned with its ability to handle long… -
