So the local Siggraph chapter is having a week or so long Spark FX film festival kinda thing with lots of guest speakers this month, lots of amazing topics to choose from but the one that caught my eye in a roguishly tantalizing fasion was this one: Tickets are $15 for members $25 for everyone else " Weaving the Real and…
Hey guys! I've uploaded a 14-part video tutorial series on Gumroad for creating tileable textures within 3Ds Max and ZBrush. The course goes over some planning and preparation stages as well as the base mesh modeling, sculpting, decimation and eventual baking within both Knald and xNormal. I also talk about how we can use…
Hello people! My name is Max, i am 25 years old and I'm studying digital art and 3d visualization in preparation for my job hunt in the field of game development. I have 2 reasons, why i would like to show my work to you guys. I want to show my pictures to people with a similar interest behind their work and that can help…
The hair system is still experimental/beta However it did work with morphs last I tested it. Also, it *has* to work with morphs because it works with any mesh deformation from bones - a skinned mesh. Unless you are testing the preview or are on a pre-.25 version you shouldn't be having problems by just binding the groom to…
@PixelMasher @EarthQuake Thank you very much for going out of your ways to write these detailed comments.....really appreciate it. Route#1 seems to be the better option after a bit of research, guess I will join a masters degree programme for fine arts or design (1 year to go) and use that time to improve myself as an…
Well... Guess I won't be playing anymore Gears. My XBox Live account was hacked by the some FIFA 12 thing (A game I don't even own by the way...). I couldn't log on today and after some searching found out it's been happening to people for the last few months and Microsoft hasn't done shit about it. Fifa 12 shows up as the…
Your logic is a bit half-baked here, you're making conclusions based on completely arbitrary assumptions and subjective views on quality. What if the MS artist who makes 25% extra does the work in half the time? What if he has 10 years more experience? There are countless reasons for pay to vary, to sit and go "well…
Yeah nobody was talking about the 5960X, which is a $1000 CPU, it would be silly to compare that to the 4790K. But let's do it anyway. The 5960X is about 42% faster than the 4790K even with double the cores, yet again single core performance of the 4790K is better (about 25% better). So if you're dealing with apps that…
The reason why 30 or even 60 fps aren't enough for games is because of temporal aliasing, ie stuttering between frames. If you have a movie clip of a completely black screen slowly blending into white then 25 fps will be more than enough, but every other frame being black and white might very well need over 100. it gets a…
^ I think Slipsius nailed it. I'd only add that feminization (is there such a word anyway?) is a process - it will take time. We cannot just throw away our gender heritage just like that, but I believe that with time the roles of both sexes in society will blend more and more, it is happening if you like it or not. Same…
