Breaking news: Crashplan is exiting the consumer market. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170822005727/en/Code42-Focus-Exclusively-Rapidly-Growing-Business-Enterprise Bummer. Now I need to find a replacement that covers all the things I liked about Crashplan, at an affordable price. * Unlimited backup size * Cloud +…
When a game is making hundreds of millions of dollars I think something's wrong if they don't have a budget for more than 4 endings. I had assumed the game would have about 20 or so. This IS by the way, the premise that THEY chose to run with when they began the ME series. That the player's actions would have consequences…
If trial by fire is a major pain in the ass at first, consider running through a couple 101 tutorials first. Pluralsight puts out tutorials each year that cover all the basics of Max or Maya, and usually they will step-by-step guide you in builging simple hard surface things like drones, robots, spaceships -- stuff like…
agree with comments above. Triangles are not bad, if you end up going into a game, the mesh will end up all triangles anyways. One thing i like to do when retopoing is to set a polycount goal. For example, my understanding of most current console games is that characters can be around 100K. Though ive heard of other games…
Nice model! The textures could use some more attention in my opinion. I do think that the metal is too shiny and in some places it gets this almost white color: I would suggest to take a look at stamped steel because that's the material a MP40 is made of. One great source for reference is the Forgotten Weapons YT channel,…
i am visiting Daz hopfully he wont distract me too much. ha here is most of the low, i am hiding the head cause the zbrush isnt ready, i just wanted to actually start the low to see how the spikes would weigh in, and actually i think i am going to make it, its 4400 now with no head, so that leaves me around 600 for the…
M'kay, so many people were yelling specular I decided to lower it. So F5. Textures - sorry nope. They all equal to two textures 4096px and multiply it by 3 (spec,color,bump) and you will understand why. Besides they don't look interesting at all unlike the old fashioned game textures which are great to look at. And the…
I've been thinking about getting one too. I'm split between getting the $600 Surface 3 since it should handle most 2d work well enough based on reviews I saw. But I'm wondering it it's worth it to pay double for double the hardrive space and double the RAM so I could possibly do zbrush sculpting on the go. I was thinking…
Cheers guys! :) I added more moss and algae to the buildings and tweaked the water a bit as well.. what do you think? The blue water stuff at the bottom of the town base texture is for blending in the game - as the underlying water layer has the same texture so it will look like it's fading into the depth.. easy trick…
Scrounge up some money and buy a ultimate gaming PC! I did that for roughly 600 Euros, you can probably get away with less by not buying that expensive a graphics cards (I got a GF6800 when they were new, I just like how much mileage you can get out of an expensive card, no need to adjust to new cards for a few years).…
