Re: Death of THQ?
Well, I'm going to echo you on that Crazyfool ;) and say that you can't really use Halo as an example either in that case. They already had a huge fan base and the eyes of the gaming world was on 343 to see if this up and coming studio could shoulder the Bungie halo legacy. I also imagine they probably had a higher than… -
Re: Which software to learn first?
Good point. It's funny because just yesterday I was converting a very heavy scene asset with 45 different materials to a VrayProxy. It took hours just to attach all the different objects to a single mesh for the process. Each click of the attach button would hang the computer for about 10 mins!! Task manager had my 32gigs… -
Re: Sketchbook: Alex Javor
I'm happy with the face. Made some small but crucial tweaks this morning. With this model, I have the benefit of studying everyday, so I noticed a few things like the depth of the eye orbital area that I missed before. You know, having reference images really helps, but it seems with 3d you still can't get everything just… -
Re: Input On Some Art Theory
I have not detaily read your document yet. In terms of art theory or being creative. FZD School talks about Visual Library [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnflBERf2zM&list=UUbdyjrrJAjDIACjCsjAGFAA&index=14"]EPISODE 52 - Visual Library - YouTube[/ame] I wish I'd or my parents had that in mind when I was young. A lot… -
Re: Ysalex Anatomy Practice Thread (nsfw)
Okay I went back to that site an duplicated my test. Here's the results. 5 out of 14 faces failed my proportion test. Does that mean my test is only 64% accurate? Maybe. But what faces failed? Every female face failed. I drew the lines based on the first face I saw, which was a male face. All the female faces failed, but… -
Re: draw cells vs more polys
Well let's do the math here. Assuming DXT1 as a basic texture format, normal map specific formats might be smaller as they're optimised for unit vectors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression#DXT1 16 pixels per 64 bits of data. 512x512 / 16 * 64 / 8 = 131072 bytes. Let's add mipmaps. Total comes to about… -
Re: Kotaku: Pissed Off Employees Bash Pretty Much Every Major Video Game Company
It's difficult to find the truth in all of this without a lot of honest perspective from those actually inside the industry. These could very easily be disgruntled ex-employees who simply didn't fit the mold, and that mold can only be filled by a certain type of individual. I have no experience in the games industry, but… -
Re: Troll Death Knight 2D
Took out my atmospheric stuff to be easier to see for now. Gonna make snow collect on the metal later. I agree about the leg angle. Still not comfortable with where the foots at, and I feel like It looks like a friggin gundam or something, gonna rework that boot. Hand no longer is knuckled in and more visible. Changed the… -
Re: Relationship issues caused by 3d?
Unfortunately it seems like you're in a tough position. It might be easy to say "forget about her and move on" but it seems like you've been with her for quite some time based on that comment where you said the last time you argued was 5 years ago. I'm a bit curious on how much she is working to pay bills, because if she… -
Re: Art Insitutes sued for 11 billion in fraud!
I also went to an AI, and I don't look at it as going into debt for very little. Because regardless of the quality of the school, I look at it as paying for time. I paid to have a dedicated 14+ hrs a day 5 days a week to focus on my work. Sure I could have skipped school and learned from DVDs and such, but that would have…
