I'm looking into this. I'm about to graduate and spoke to Autodesk UK who referred me to my local reseller (BlueGFX). I contacted the reseller and they're talking to AD about it, apparently my serial came back as 'cannot upgrade'. According to BlueGFX, before AD gave away the free licenses to students, you could upgrade…
These are probably fine if you want a job as a prop artist. But probably no good if you want to be a character artist. So probably good to focus on what you want to do most. They are nice models, but too much for a game. Deffinately use them to bake normals/ao for a low poly. Then tex it up and finish so you have some…
yea seriously, being a waiter at a place like milestones or cactus club you would make waaaay more. here in vancouver its like 13 bucks an hour plus tips, a buddy of mine is making almost an extra 500-800 bucks in tips a week.....of which the standard practice is to claim 10% of it for tax purposes. thats over double the…
Definitely seems to be on the high side of technical specs, I'd say a 512 would be enough in most cases, and 1024 for a modern racing game, and about 500-750 polies or 1000-1250 for a modern racer. Perhaps someone who's worked on a racegame can help with actual figures? Personally, I'd try (it might not be possible to get…
That sort of finger pointing is what is going to prolong this needlessly. To keep himself in power?? He has extremely high support from the Russian population and has for a while, he doesn't need to 'stir shit around the globe to keep himself in power.' Why are you ignoring the US's role in the Ukrainian situation? So, by…
Unfortunately, my couch is only optimized to 500 triangles. :< resources/uncomfortable_loveseat.obj OP: it's all relative to what's going to be seen in the game. If the cushions aren't removable via physics play then they should probably be welded to the frame, saving triangles. If they are removable, they might benefit…
Usually when you're given ortho shots, you're not supposed to deviate AT ALL. It shouldn't be confused with a 3/4 action shot from a top angle. There are shitloads of technical reasons for that. Least of being, they need it to interact with things of the same size and shape. What if the rig was already made with 500…
It's definitely over budget. I'd guess when he's broken down his head will be 300-500 triangles and a 256x256 texture but its best just to wait until the specs are released to design for the hero. As for effects, currently you can't import your own particles. Selfillum would add a subtle glow to the bloodstone though. You…
I'm just sitting on my current save, have everything finished except for the last boss, and some world tendency events. I'm just trying to farm stones to upgrade my weapons. Loving my darkmoonstone scimitar +5, fast magic regen. Where can you find marrowstone? I'm working on a fatal secret dagger +3. right now it does…
Can you maybe say a bit more about which type of user you are targeting with this tool? Again, while this sounds great and all if you're going to price it at 500 bucks/license it's not going to make a big splash... You can get a full substance suite for something like 300 bucks these days, so several hundreds for a hotkey…
