Short version; It's all about the price/value to hour ratio. If I had the money I would pay for everything. It all comes down to how much value I get, how much it costs versus how many hours I will use it. For example, if you compare Autodesks subscription of 3Ds max versus Unreal Engine 4 (vastly different programs, but I…
There is so much talk about smoking increasing the risk of lung cancer when you are 70 years old. That wasn't much motivation for me to stop right now. I have so much time between now and 70 to quit. How about this for motivation? Smoking makes your skin look uglier and lowers your sex drive. Yes, In addition to all of the…
Repeating Frendens numbers for PPI... Uh no I used the power of google to find a website for calculating PPI http://pixeldensitycalculator.com/ As far as repeating everything on the Frendens review, the only thing I remember from his review was that he was extremely happy with the yiynova U models, and that was in part…
@alec2002 You're killing it man! Seriously you have a great eye for form! All that aside however from my experience, i'm 19 and just landed my first industry job at a game studio in Seattle. I was going to community college and working part time making minimum wage and came home each night to work on my game art (lots of…
Dear Arqus, you wanna feel a bit more confident? I'm 30, married. I've started learning 3d one year and a half ago after wandering and keeping away from my passions for all my life. I wrote on a piece of paper that I would have a basic portfolio in 1 year and my first gig as a junior 3d artist. Both happened this year :) .…
Ok Nitewalkr... let me clear it up for you. Absolute crap. 2D Art is all over gaming still. Concept Art... Texturing... Flash Games... also, ever visited the App Store? Not necessarily true. Firstly, I know a lot of tattoo artists who couldn't put a portfolio worth shit together. Just because they draw on people's skin,…
[ QUOTE ] The run-around By late August, when she returned from a trip to Asia, she still had heard nothing from the company and started to get anxious. Her Aug. 24 complaint letter to the firm was filled with exasperation. On July 11, I contacted the (stores) helpline and was instructed by Agent David Goodfellow that…
Thanks guys, and frankly switching from TGE to TSE is the least of our worries. I mean we started looking at battlefield 3 years ago, then promptly changed to UT2k4, which was then going to port to Tribes:Vengeance as part of our original agreement with Sierra/VU, but that didn't work since T:V was changed so much from…
Hey guys! Had been working on this in my free time for roughly a month now. I'm trying to squeeze in a couple of hours everyday. I've been doing screenshots every day so just a warning... It is image heavy already :smile: I am trying to do a short teaser for this using the Unreal Engine 4 before the movie hits the cinemas…
Thanks Michaelf, that seems to have worked fine. Thanks, Gnoop. I tried that but it caused some issues with texture blurring in the later steps. My workflow ended up looking like this: Photoscan to ZBrush Workflow 1. Export model to .obj (.FBX export with textures works until the end when the textures appear to blur, so I…
