Re: The proper working chair
@Marcus Aseth: Have you considered a standing desk? I built my own standing desk so that I can switch between sitting to standing anytime I want(I mostly stand now). The first day or two takes some getting used to but afterwards its great. Also concerning about strengthening your lower back, there is no other way around it… -
Re: I'm building a PC. Tell me whether it sucks.
Your current rundown is a bit contradictory. If this build is for gaming and not work related stuff then an i7 is overkill. Most games don't even use hyper-threading and the extra cost you spend on the feature can be used towards a better GPU. An unlocked i5 will more than suit your needs. I recommend the i5 4690k If this… -
Re: WOW: Mists of Pandaria And Kungfu Panda
So for me, talking pandas are VERY silly. Kinda ruins whatever immersion the game has. Now I know, I know, someone is gonna say "But Tauren?" or "But Orcs?", and you're right. But for me the Pandas cross a line. The line is that the Tauren are basically minotaurs. They're a mythological creature which was updated to work… -
Re: Rigging Tutorial for Maya 2018?
How much rigging experience do you have? And how much time? I--personally, this is just my opinion!--would avoid Digital Tutors / Pluralsight unless you are in a pinch. The quadruped rig I made following their course worked, but was really awkward from an animator standpoint. I've learned much better ways to rig since… -
Re: Serious Games, List of Games/Simulators
"OH HAY GUYS LET'S PROGRAM SOME DECISION TREES TO SOME ANIMATED 'AVATARS' [:shifty:] AND CALL IT SERIOUS GAMES". Heh, "serious games", I think, is mostly just a buzzword used in place of "simulation" to ward off the associated thoughts of tedious hours spent learning cluttered UIs and dealing with buggy software... It's… -
Re: Briefly about Retopology
Just to insert my two cents regarding dynamesh: it's a basemesh creation tool that retopologizes a model. If you're working with an existing basemesh before using dynamesh, it's topology is of no relevance, only it's volume. After dynameshing, you're left with a pretty consistant distribution of faces across a surface, so… -
Re: Occupy Wall St
This is a good thread, the discussion is actually of intellectual value, so thank you all for that.

Re: Caitlin[FANART] - Elite Trooper concept. WIP
Your render techniques are really nice, the detail level is fantastic. However I still don't understand what is going on around her waist and hips. Right now it looks like metal panels that form fit her midsection. If that's the case it doesn't make much sense as she wouldn't be able to move. I would consider what type of… -
Re: What would be considered a good game animation demo reel?
Here is my two cents, Personally I feel a website is enough for environment and character artist as you're busy enough in your life. Just a simple website with still images is fine. It is great to see showreels all the same and naturally lends its self well to particles, rigging, animation and games design. Website wise I… -
Re: Building a workstation for home, need input
OMG SSD YES At home on my workstation I have a 4x 30gb SSD stripe (got them for $100 each off ebay), with a traditional platter drive for backup (more reliable) storage. The SSD stripe makes for INSANE performance with a multi core processor - as an example I can click my 3ds max icon, and max is open and ready to go…
