What's this "heat index" crap? Here in Chico, it's supposed to get up to 110 by Sunday, and that's the ACTUAL temperature... not no "heat index" mumbo jumbo. Monday afternoon I'm going to be riding my bike home from work... I'm definitely not looking forward to that . [ QUOTE ] when you wake up and you cant move, dont…
My shoulder is going to explode, but its coming along, really starting to tie altogether, now that Ive got some moss action going on. I am tossing around the idea of using a second and maybe even third step texture to make them more unique. They are only 128s so I really don't have an excuse not to. Textures are still…
Well, looks like the 'vette is gonna be a no-go for the trip. The list of small things nearing the 'broken' status before I even get to the engine is long enough for me to not want to take the risk. Sooooo~, I'm taking my dad's 1995 Cadillac Seville STS instead. It's a willing substitute, though. That Northstar motor has…
Thanks for your answers guys :) The actual mather is : if I snap on a 30 pixel grid it will be ok with a 32 pixel lightmap, but if I want to enhance to 64 or 128 it wont match, I'll have to redo my UVs. I need to have multiple lightmaps resolution choices (low res for background instancied object and better rez for the…
From the email I got from Corel: "Savings expire April 22, 2013 at midnight EDT" They offer this deal a few times a year (maybe twice?). Last time Painter was this price was 2012's "Cyber Monday" sale 11/24 through 11/29. They also offer Painter a couple of times a year at $229 new, $129 upgrade. Their usual sale pricing…
i typed this 2x and it got cleared, so this time i'm typing it in a notepad to paste in! EMil i sent you a pm message we are also looking for up to 2 environment artists that can work in this style 1 weapon modeler to make super low weps most will be less than 300 polys with 128 or 256 textures 1 webmaster to work over…
What software will be available for the students, and how long is each class? Also what level of importance is placed on the actual animation portion of this class (It sounds like you want to make it a general 3D class, or at least make it more well rounded)? The lack of tablets is going to be a problem for the texturing…
@Visigoth: you're using too many polies for the chain rings. I would make all the links hexagonal with four sides on each division ((6*4 + 6*4 + 4*4)*2 = 128 tris for the chain instead of (6*2 + 4*6 + 6*6)*2 = 144 tris). It should look better an you get some polies for the other things. Usually going highpoly to lowpoly is…
I'm still using the series 7 slate for Zbrush and Photoshop. A Bluetooth keyboard helps if you use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. Unlike other laptops it actually has a real CPU and a SSD, Resolution isn't something to write home about, but it's great for concepting during lunch.…
More progress, been working on the basic lowpoly mesh and UV mapped it, now I'm back at the highpoly making details. After my optimization of the lowpoly I found myself way below my own poly limit, the mesh being at ~8400tris while my own max would be ~10-11k tris. So I'll be giving some geometry back to the lowpoly as…
