I tried a polyphasic sleep schedule about 5 years ago and kept up with it for about 8 months. If I remember right, I did a 1.5 hr nap around midnight, then several naps throughout the day to total up about 3 hrs a sleep a day. I mostly did it just to see if I could. It was an interesting experience to say the least, and I…
Hey, Thankyou for the comment! I am glad you liked the project! About the red nose, i tried to stay true to the concept that nico did! here is the concept I totally agree to your pointer about a fuzz map and fresnel! I was keen on doin that but I wanted to post this before we approached the holidays so I woulda missed the…
A co-worker of mine enlightened me about tagging non-bone objects as bones via bone tools in 3DS Max, which got me thinking about other cool tricks in Max that people may not know. Off the top of my head, here's one I've picked up: -Being able to hide elements of your Editable Poly mesh while skinning: really comes in…
Hey guys, just now I did a file cleanup via the menu above and it printed lots of failed save/ failed load on the log window, I thought it didn't save the file (cus it said failed to save...) close painter and reopen that file, now painter won't even open it anymore..and instead it printed this on the log window.. [Scene…
Alienware = not worth the money (IMO). They are nice computers, but WAY overpriced Thing you'll want to concentrate on most is video. Most laptops come with a basic video card, which is great for a majority of users, but if you want to do gaming or graphic design, then you need a decent video card. I'm not up to speed on…
Hi! Overall the scene has a nice mood :+1: On second look, some notes: * Did you work off references and/ or concept? Would share those too, for context. * Proportions look a bit unbalanced to me. For example the beams holding the roof look massive in comparison to other elements, making it look very top heavy. The…
Whew So its been a little over 2 months and the schedule was reduced to a 3 day schedule and now I did a little bit of a retrospective and restarted doing a Weekly Schedule going over what I did each day. So 1 guarunteed video but long enough to talk about what I am doing XD. This has been a wild ride for sure, but I don't…
Whoops, forgot to update apparently: Day 30: Did some weathering but got some feedback I really valued, so restarted the detailing on these pieces. Scratches were random because I was looking for a used effect, but was not really efficient. Day 31, 32 and 33: Worked again on those details from the backplates, trying to put…
I came to this thread several times when considering to upgrade or not. I did and can honestly say I'm digging Windows 10 coming from Windows 7. I've used it for about two weeks for both work and gaming. Everything I've thrown at it thus far has worked . /knocks on wood :poly124: It was a bit slow after the initial…
I was lucky, in the sense that I am not in debt. A local community college was offering an Associates degree in Simulation and Game Development so I took it. This gave me a balance from paying hardly anything, but still getting a small foundation from which to build on. It also gave me the opportunity to see if this is…
