Re: Tugodoomer's vehicle
This feels like it could be an interesting model, but I feel like the material work and lighting are really letting it down. The materials themselves are good from what I can tell, but the application of them is what is lacking. Your yellow paint has a roughly has a uniform amount of dirt everywhere. There are some large… -
Re: HATRED: has senseless violence in video game gone too far? (Yes)...
I ripped this straight from the comments on Polygon, but it sums up my view on that pretty nicely. "This is exactly how I feel. In GTA, the people that happen to be around are inconsequential. The mood of GTA is more like South Park, intentionally cynical and goofy, so if you go off the rails for a moment, thats whatever;… -
Re: Game violence study
Sorry but I have to rant. Every time I take some time to read the news, I just get more and more pissed at the media. They make everything into a huge problem.

Re: Official handplane support thread - Now freeware!!
Hi - I am getting shading errors in my maya-xnormal-handplane workflow. I've watched the youtube video and think I'm following all the steps. See this image. There are a few areas of "stress" due to long triangles but compared to what you do in your maya-handplane video when you slash the model apart, it feels like this… -
Re: Freelance and Money
Yeah, perna summed up what I meant really well. (Thanks!) I would rather go to my $9 an hour day job - like I am right at this moment, knowing that that $9 an hour my wife and I really need right now will keep on coming consistently. I don't have that security working freelance, especially as someone with next to no… -

Re: Doom4 plasma rifle
-Hard/Soft edges have to do with rays and angles at which your normal map is being baked/projected, Summed up: 90 degree edge + harden edge + Split UVs = normal map has less gradients (better results for generating cavity map) and less visible seams. 90 degree edge + harden edge + Sewn UVs = normal map will have seams in…
