I agree with Kirin, and it takes very little to make them unstable when they are spinning that fast. I am pretty sure this is why we don't see 120x cdrom drives. I am sure that what ever CD-Rom company that was leading the speed war found out that 52x is about as fast as you can push it. Find the line that everything goes…
[ QUOTE ] Rubbish... This must be more of a american thing I guess because the constant babbling on about God really just bored me. [/ QUOTE ] How American is the show? Sky TV is one of the production companies and I know it's primarily filmed in Canada, the cast has a number of Canadians and Brits, etc. I really don't get…
Don't get me wrong, Im not scared of my Kids turning into psycho's if I let them Play Gta or watch Nightmare on Elm Street. I dont let them Play Gta cause I don't want to explain to my 4 year old what a glory hole is. and any 4 year old who knows has some jacked up parents. I dont let my kids watch Robocop or Nightmare on…

Hi everyone! This is my first ever post on Polycount :) I recently graduated from university and am working towards improving my portfolio to apply for jobs and internships. You can find my portfolio Here. This one in particular is inspired by a game called 'Sea of Thieves' and even though the art style in my piece is…
Shot in the dark here.... I'm really curious if any of you have any block in models that you would be willing to share. I've been practicing block in modeling lately just trying to get better at representing proportion and primitive forms before I tackle the real mesh, sculpted or sub-d. I think this is a particular useful…
i'm looking to get a new sound card since my last one finally made me mad enough to remove it permantly. it was a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Gamer (which came with UT2K, Theif 2, and MDK 2) and i've had nothing but problems with it since i first installed it. have had it for a few years now and it just kept getting worse.…
Ref for my new project, I comped in a really interesting door I found for a bit more of a fantasy feel. I've also been looking into architecture to see what different parts are called. There is a series of books by Herbert Press that are really useful: How to read castles How to read buildings They are basically a visual…
I agree with SasoChicken that the fog is a bit heavy. It would make more sense in a cold water scene or a lake scene where one would expect murkier waters. In fact, I find your '80% complete' images generally more convincing than the latest. Tropical waters like your scene is set in tend to be very clear for the first 50…
I feel like I've gotten much older now that the only games that excite me are the ones that offer something different whereas when I was younger, I would hype up any new title. The push into learning game art has made me cynical about graphics. Lots of polygons and detailed lighting is great, but like you said, if it's…
