Thanks guys, and that is reassuring Pred, I've tried to avoid breaking up the UVs where it's less visible on the mesh and areas where there is a bit more geometry to hold the normals. At the moment using the cage on cylindrical objects I'm having to compromise with the ray angles, if I try to correct the buckling of the…
If I had to try to define 'art' I'd say it's something created to be experienced, in particular to make the person viewing it feel something. People may not feel like they are artists because they are not 'expressing themselves' through their work, but as long as those works are expressing some type of experience to the…
It would certainly limit this, and it doesn't have too much of a downside. I'm not naive enough to think that making one form of weaponry more difficult to obtain would completely stop violence, but it would contribute to lessening these attacks. Our columbines and unibombers would still exist, but a certain percentage of…
Do you actually do anything outside of what you post? I mean, for someone who seems intent on getting better you seem to waste a lot of time posting very little? I think you said somewhere that you post on 9 forums, why not make that one forum and update in batches so you can put more time into studying rather than…
Geezuz, you all sound like you have excess cash to live where you do. (Me goes back to being poo white trash.) Keeping that quote for later regurgitation. :) Anyhow, there is this older apartment complex on capital hill. The landlord seemed honest enough. Older building though, so for ground, you had to hook your ground…
ah well, if you didn't assign the material ^^ Your texture file lies on a "bitmap" node, which has several parameters to control tiling, filtering, uv channel...This is where you get if you click on the diffuse texture (planktextur) in your material editor. It encapsulates your texture file and has a default name at its…

Hey, so I was recommended that you guys may be able to help out with a project I'm working on for my sister's 14th birthday. She has an original cartoon character she's created, and my parents and I are interested in 3D printing a model of him for her as a present. I have access to the 3D printing technology but all of my…
I'm pretty sure many of us have this. At times we get distracted and couldn't really focus on the work we love to do. For me, I love 3D modeling but there's another conflict of interest that I have. I got competitive with the Soul Calibur series since Soul Calibur 2 and with Soul Calibur 6 coming out on October 19th it…
