You might take a look at Xotic PC http://www.xoticpc.com/ http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gaming-laptops-ct-118-96-98/laptop-models-xotic-pc-laptops.html I configured and purchased my work laptop through them and I love it. I felt like I was able to customize it exactly with the hardware I wanted…
Hi Designamyte, I was wondering, could you post a wireframe of the character for us to see? Looking at his model looks like you could make him much lower poly. I would also advise you to cut the map down to 256 or 128, because the iPhone 3G doesn't have that much power anymore due to iOS4.x. I develop on 3Gs' and 3G's. If…
The polycount wiki is an awesome source of information full of great examples. Here is the link to Character Topology. I also found Pig-Brain's (not sure of his real name ;) ) deformation tutorial to be awesome. If your planning on modelling low poly models, be sure to check out the Mobile gaming and Web 3D forum , there's…
ok guys I have to tell you a secret .. this truly is a skin of crysis .. ehehe jokes aside, of course I was inspired nanosuit, I did not want a batman already seen it but I wanted to make it as are my personal taste, exaggerating the costume a little ... I agree with all your criticisms, I think I've fired a lot with the…
I've seen people use cloth to do this... I wouldn't recommend it. There's also this free script: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/max-retopo Or, a commercial script: http://www.matt-clark.co.uk/wrapit/spe.php?o=177 Or... if you're using 2012, I'm pretty sure it comes with some cool new features that will do this.…
Id set up a image of 512 by 512, get some grid lines at set that at Grid lines every 128 pixels, subdivisions 1... make sure you go to Window Show Grid. Id start off with your brush at 100% hardness, 0 spacing, and for the grout lines turn on the Scattering and raise it up to something that makes it not so uniformal, then…
Hey Studtoprof - this is a tutorial for Suite 1.8. The workflow has changed a bit since then. You'll assign groups and individual layers to color IDs by pressing and holding C in 3DO and clicking on the desired color. You can assign a new material with this method as well by holding SHIFT with C, and then clicking on a…
Looks very nice! I Do agree, there are some Projection Errors in the Gun which you might want to get rid of. Also 17k Polys is pretty low for a Vehicle, so you might be able to invest a couple more polygons on the gun (like on the round holes on the barrel). Also, I noticed a couple of bolts that are baked into the…
It didn't crash the suite, just stopped me from interacting with it until I had finished the transform. Both the default shortcut installed with the suite and the one I made directly to the suite.exe are to the same location. Just that mine only launched the suite and not the updater. I guess we'll see if it's fixed with…
This right here is scary as hell! You played wow 68-64 hours a week out of 168. And let's say you had a 45 hour work week. That's 55-57 hours left for everything else including sleep. If you slept 6 hours each day another 42 hours would be lost. Not many hours left man. Just got a bit curious with the numbers when you gave…
