Depending on the model 2 weeks at 40 hours a week is not unreasonable for some very high detailed models. For 3.5k, well that's a different story, but still paying $100 for a 3.5k character model is more than a bit low and the point made is valid. You get what you pay for to a certain extend and if you are paying well…
Wasn't sure if you wanted to work in zbrush or not...but to save time on the tires I would do it in max or maya using the Bend modifier...that way you only have to make 1 tread pattern...duplicate it 40-50 times..and bend them all at once... http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/maya/tire/index.html the only downside…
Definatly have a good time working on this video. Hopefully I can work on more as I make more stuff in the future. Anywho... its going well, and the video should be done and up within this week I would hope. Right now its around 40 minutes, I think it'll probably be around 60 minutes when I am done, hopefully it's not too…
I would say different than that. As said have your other items on another drive. Get two smaller SSDs and run a 0 raid. It actually would be better for two drives than one because the data write/read will be shared between them. So combined they would have a longer life than one SSD of a larger size. Plus of course being…
20 what? Dollars? Oh man that's really bad then! I normally wouldn't start below 40 which is like 25 Euro an hour. depends on the company i'm working for, say it's ubi or ea, the price will be higher then for a small local company. And of course the price could vary between different chars, but you can also make package…
Slave_Zero your right about many thing and that the style is sort of "off" on some elements like the fence. I did a repaint of the door and stones and the open sign. About the handle on the door I really don't know how to make it less flimsy hehe. I think it fits the door. I also made room for the stone so the have own uv…
2048 tris backface culled, Screen is at 2x 256x192px, 512kb vram hardware limit. But its more realistic to work with 384kb vram for one screen and 128kb for the other (gui stuff normaly) work with indexed 256 colour textures, go lower if possible (16 or 4 colours), you can use soft alpha but only in combination with 32 or…
The silhouette on the sides is done with only 3 edgeloops but your round things are done with what, 40? They have next to no effect on the way it looks in the game world. Same goes for the rest of the silhouette, you've used all of your polygons in places that don't really matter. The speakers with the wires for example…
The game play itself is great! I just wish that i was actually paying for $60 worth of gameplay instead of $20 of gameplay and $40 worth of cutscenes. Wasn't really happy with the story, either. I don't think they wrapped it up in a reasonable fashion. The plot might have made a decent first draft, but they made it the…
I had it done 5-6 years ago and it's still fantastic. I had worn glasses since I was in the 3d grade. This surgery was bordering on a miracle to me. My procedure involved pealing back the top layer of the cornea before reshaping. Then the "flap" was placed back in position. This aids healing by 50% or better. It was…
