I do use Linux everyday for 8 years now. OS wise, you'll have to learn how the system works and it's going to be a bit tough the first few weeks because it's quite different than mac OS and windows, mainly because it's not an all-in-one package. You have the freedom to choose between a _lot_ of path for your system, the…
Generally the process works like this: #1 You create a "cage" mesh for sculpting. This isnt your "low" as lowpoly meshes for ingame use will be optimized and have very poor geometry for sculpting. For your "cage" you want nice evenly sized *square* quads, avoiding ngons and triangles if at all possible #2 You import this…
I've had lots of issues with doctors as well. My father has been in the hospital a number of times and I've learned to be really skeptical about everything they say, and saved myself or family members from a number of costly mistakes. My general advice is this: Never take what the doctor says with full faith. Think about…
The job is definitely not for the computer illiterate. Some tech skills are definitely required. Even if you never learn to write a script in Mel (or Maxscript either), you will likely have to learn some sort of scripting (like xml) to handle the process of getting your art into the game. Traditional skills are not…
kill: feeling your fine artist oats these days? i wouldn't disagree with your observations, but all that really doesn't change the basic nature of concept art and design. design is still about communication, not making pretty pictures in and of themselves, however much more some concept artists seem to be getting into the…
thanks for the comments everyone. mule: yeah, i dunno what i'm going to end up doing with her, but ending up with some sort of in-game asset would be cool. maybe normal mapped something or other, who knows. Toomas: as you can see from the SS2 version of her, i've put the eyes about as far apart as they are in that version.…
Here you go, things can be a bit complicated with doom3 editing hence I'll try to sum it up as best as I can. First thing, get the md5 modelviewer, read the info txt and install the application anywhere. http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1281&highlight=modelviewer+md5…
Hi Makkon, First, please finish the vixen model, I like it alot! I was involved too in the Dracten mod and took a break from it, because of lack of free time. After being warned by board members and after reading this thread my decision is fixed - Dracten is history. It's a pity, because lots of interesting ideas were in…

So the part…
I am sure you are all tired of seeings these "best camera" threads, but I tried searching and I couldn't find any pre-existing thread. I am thinking of getting an entry level DSLR and I did some research, and I inclined towards a Nikon D60 if I can find one, or a D5000. I am not really sure about the Canons, they seem to…
