Hi! I'm a beginner too, but i have something to say. First of all you need to look at low poly. This will make you understand what can it be 1) only 700 tris, and it's divine http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o8H5QynvL2o/USlvJTh8QdI/AAAAAAAABKg/oqkB9WQIKpk/s1600/Cherry_Darling_final.jpg 2) Insane 2000 tris!!!…
Take a look at the GoW cave level if you haven't already. This was by far one of the best looking cave levels I'd ever seen in a game. Here's a screenshot, but it doesn't really do the scene much justice. Nevertheless, there's a huge, factory-esque structure in it. You may notice when you play the game how it's constantly…
Hey folks, thanks for the input. It's much appreciated. Sorry for the firefox/quicktime errors. I think quicktime 7 or 7.1 is needed to view. I don't know how to label the browser window, I'm quite poor with Dreamweaver. My site will be redesigned in the future as well. Having different quicktime or windows media versions…

I am 17, and I have been experimenting with 3ds max for a while because several years ago my dad used 3ds max for his engineering job, and he had a copy of the 2003 edition, and I played with that a little. Then I got a student license of 3ds max and was able to start seriously working with it. But being as I'm still in…

Basically I'm starting a doctorate working on some cool research projects with a AAA games company soon (around winter) and need some intermediate work. I've worked as an artist (Lightwave, Zbrush and Maya) for many years and have 1+1/2 years as…
So my computer died this morning when i tried to change the texture settings in portal. Looks like its just the video card as the monitor just turned off. Tried another monitor and no go. Computer is ancient, I haven't spent a dime on it since I bought it in 2002 or 2003. Got some old parts from my brother to bump it up a…
hello there, I'm working on a character that has some armor pieces. What I want to achieve is that the armor pieces go as tight to the model as possible but making them feel as rigid as possible, to resemble real armor. My model is being rigged in a "T" shape. Here is a WIP pic of how the armor looks:…
