Sci-Fi Helicopter
For almost a decade I had this amazing piece of concept art of a futuristic looking "Rollerblade-Helicopter" in my "inspiration" folder. On the day I saw it I promised myself: "That is so awesome ... one day you will build this thing in 3D". I would love to credit the person that originally came up with this design ...… -
3DS Max 2011 licensing issue. Advice needed.
I'm using a student version of 3DS Max 2011 and there's a licensing problem. I was planning on doing some high poly modeling during break today (I'm using 3ds max on a laptop).

Re: DX11- Whats the verdict?
Unfortunately this is very commen. Depepends on your level/scene but espacially with lots of masked material (-> foliage) FPS can go down by 40-60% easily.

Maybe some subtle atmospheric effects could enhance scene depth. I believe with a room this simple, subtle details are… -
Re: The Mastiffs End (WAR building wip)
Yeah a couple of those things were temp. But I forgot to slice the sign up a bit. So just some quick updates before I go to bed. I tweaked the roof a bit to give it some more sag, increased the size of the stone area, tweaked the mastiff ass to give it some character. Put some stone trim around. I have a temp sign holder… -
Problem with sizing/editing normal maps
Okay so I'm trying to render out some 4096x4096 normal maps with the intention of downsizing them to 2048 or less, but any form of editing or just resizing will break how it displays in 3ds max. I did research this a bit and found that I needed to re-normalize the map using nvidia's normal map filter plugin for photoshop.… -

Re: Uncoventional porfolio criticism
They are a mix of sources, some were on linkedin from artists at studios I was applying to. They were the more general critiques, like - Your portfolio is too old - This is student work - Did you just graduate? - Your work is just not good enough in general. I termed them unconventional since they didn't lead to more… -
