Re: Raven Squad
I actually saw this game being demoed at PAX last year. It seemed somewhat neat. Basically at any time you can zoom out to an overhead view and give orders to the rest of your squad. Also, it gives you an idea of what lies around the corner. Amusingly enough someone watching the demo with me made mention of how the title… -
Re: wip steve correl
I got mine for about £36 (a small bamboo fun) at a student discount so about $80-90? also have you tried using a pencil and paper instead of a mouse? it might help. It seems you started with the eyes and worked your way down and got less interested in the peice. Try just adding more detail and spend more time on it. It is… -
Re: Movie: American Splendor
I haven't had the chance to watch the whole movie yet, but I think it says something about Paul Giamatti's talents that he was able to bring someone as kooky and real as Harvey Pekar to the big screen. I remember Harvey at a comic convention I attended back in the 80s, and he stands out as one of the most thoughtful and… -
Re: Calculating space used by uv's
Yeah, I don't think i've ever actually calculated percentage of space used by UVs, personally... I just remember that histogram trick from a similar thread on polycount about 3 years ago. You could be using 99% of your image's space for UV layout and still have a crappy layout, similarly you could have a layout that uses… -
Re: I have something to confess =/
Whenever I feel like I'm too poor I just remember that there's a billion people in mainland China that sleep at their factory (if they're lucky) on plywood without a pillow and work 14-16 hour days (and sometimes more) just to make enough to eat (about $80 a month), let alone buy things like houses and cars. If they have a… -
Re: 3D Character Artist LFW - $15/hr, would like to earn more.
My current rate is $15/hr. Ideally I'd like to earn 50,000 - 55,000 USD/year. One character usually takes me 60-80 hours depending on level of complexity, and how independent I can be without consulting with a senior artist. Basically; I operate fastest if you trust me to work, and leave me alone like a bitcoin server… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
the difference is, i would never put UV seams (lot of 90 degree angles i would use soft edge) like you did in the example here, which pretty much make majority of your workflow not something i can work with entirely. it might be something i would do in rare cases which i am already said many times in teh past. but i would… -
Re: Steve Jobs is dead
His influence goes beyond just having a cool phone - would personal computers be where they are without Apple computer? I think without the Apple II it would of been a slower evolution from the TRS-80 and similar machines. Even companies responding to Apple has been a great force in developing tech - just look at the… -
Re: Japanese Sci-fi / Mecha inspiration needed
Another way to get into this would be to go at it little by little ... Pinterest pages and moodboards like Rekall are great, but nothing beats building one's own list of favorites ! It sure takes time though ... Tackling things chronologically could be interesting too, like starting with 80s OAVs first. Also, I feel like… -
Re: What would you like to know about photogrammetry?
I'd like to know how google got such nice trees using only photogrammetry and what looks like 80% coverage. Is it the computer automatically replacing what it identifies as trees with what I guess would be just a sparse model of a tree/s? edit: oh! I should mention that's a screen from this awesome vidya of how google does…
