This was a not a bad year for me. Positive: -Got my first client for freelance work. -finished university -moved out of my parent's house - bought a new video card for my desktop (Geforce 1070!) Negative: - lost my treasured mp3 player that i had for 9 years -My old laptop broke -my older brother moved to a different…
so if I understand you right... you want to shift the weights from Clavicle and UpperArm_Twist to UpperArm? You can try everything locked as you have now, select the Clavicles and UpperArm_Twists, then the mesh, Edit Influences -> Remove Influences. That should distribute the weights to nearest or neighboring joints.…
Looks like surface mounted mini-USB ports. If your going to try and re-solder these your self then you should unscrew your tablet and check the damage on the PCB. When surface mounted ports like this get ripped off, they can have a nasty habit of pulling up the metal tracks on the circuit board with them. But if the break…

It expands to a square because it's easier to encode square blocks of colour. The image considers that part to be transparent anyway, so it block fills it with the nearest colour to pad it. It could just fill it with white, but then you'd get white peeking in around the edges of the transparency. Each pixel has to have an…
I agree with building a stash of reference for yourself, I worked on a AAA racing game that has just come out and there is the same reference texture of metal beams used 3 times on 3 diffent textures for 3 different bridges in the same game! CG textures is great for base textures though, I carry round a pocket camera more…

That... is a crazy problem and based on the screenshots I have no idea why its doing that. You might want to check the Bone Effect Limit in the skin modifier under Advanced Parameters. Its the number of bones that are allowed to influence a single vert. Typically for realtime games it needs to be 4 or less but max defaults…
Buy a cheaper i7 3770k, and ddr3 memories at 2400mhz, and a good mobo with 16+8. Don't waste your money when you can buy the combo i said for less than 600€ in europe. Also, don't buy velociraptors... buy SSD if you want the best perfomance. There are OCZ vertex 4 128gb for 120 euros. If you are going to do game art (UDK),…
I've heard making art for Casinos both pays well and is very stable. And while it's true the game industry can be risky, I believe working for the 1st party developers (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony) offers a bigger safety net than most 3rd party studios. Although SCE Liverpool and Lionhead show there's a still a chance of…
