hey guys...you're all dumb..lol. Just kidding this is Morgan From Daniels classes. So as to the lighting I agree it is very dark. one way around this is to lower the the light source area so that the light that is sitting on top of the torches is far more focused and looks more like local light from the torches themselves.…
Looking at the sculpts of your various characters, one thing that stands out is that you could really push your sculpted details a lot further. Your diffuse texturing / polypainting is pretty decent, but viewing the sculpts on their own, there seems to be a lot of pretty broad strokes, overlaying pretty simple textural…
No, you do not 'need' a degree or any formal education. The only time my schooling has actually come into play is when I needed to obtain a work visa for different country. Even then, my experience was more important, but have a piece of paper showing some formal education (1 year) impresses border officials and - in my…
Nearly all of the professors have some industry experience. I think the adjunct faculty person who teaches life drawing these days does not. But all the others came from some kind of RECENT game industry situation. Some are still actively working at game companies, as is the case of Doug Service, a senior level programmer…
Well, I am somewhat similiar to yourself. The kinda of Jack of all Trades, master of none that having a traditional degree gives. First: Don't get discouraged. It's all learning. Second: Practice and get better. Watch and listen to the advice others give. Third: Try to find classes that can help you improve the areas you…
Sorry figured out the chamfer tool, it's just not what I'm used to you have to tick the local button to get it to do a bevel. 19. I've had to set arbitrary working units in max to work on this project below you can see what I have to use. Display Unit Scale: Metres In System Units Setup 1 Unit = 1 Centimetres This screws…
Hey Raul, glad you posted this as I was going to revive the old thread I started to tell about Industry Giants, but you did it to a much higher level:) Everyone that is in the area should check this out, as we have brought in some serioulsy good talent this year, and anything to help events like this for our area always…
I'm not upset about it at all, quite the opposite. It's altered enough that I really couldn't make much of a fuss beyond getting them to take it out. EA's lawyers would clench up in a millisecond if I tried to rattle any cages. But all that is beside the point, I have no interest in complaining, nor was I before. I'm…
Just bought HL2 today! It only took me 5 hours to get it up and running from start (installing) to finish (playing the first level) That includes approx 30MB of patches for HL2 and CS:S (downloaded @ 40Kb/s) which as soon as HL2 finished updating I switched CS:S over to "do not update automatically" and deleted the local…
It's not 6 months of darkness. One day a year has only 2 hours of darkness, and one day a year only 2 hours of light, and it slowly fades between those. There is only 1/4 of the year where you get less than 8 hours of daylight. I didn't miss it, and the super long summer days make up for it. Being able to go out at…
