Re: Ana Carolina's Sculpting Sketchbook
Dragon Piece WIP I am currently in the process of refining this piece I made during the Zbrush 2020 Beta Testing: The first thing I'm adding are the dragon's babies (this was part of the original scope, but I had to delay it due to the original deadline). The babies will improve the storytelling factor of the piece! Baby… -
Re: The Search for 3d Work in The SF Bay Area
Brandon, Thanks for sharing your story with me. That's quite interesting. I guess i can see where it would become really difficult here.. Fortunate for me, i'm living with my parents and they're in no rush to kick me out, but i'm hoping to get started somewhere asap. I'm just hoping i'll be lucky enough to find a start up… -
Re: Review my portfolio and my future on Polycount.
When I made the website, I was dirt poor. Actually, I am still dirt poor (that's why I'm working fast to get a game industry job). There's no way my parents would be ok for paying a subscription service. Even my Unreal Engine 4 subscription lasted a month so I'm stuck with the March build. I've been applying to McDonalds… -
Re: [WIP] Character - Stone
Update: Half of the model is rigged, which is why the pose is not very exciting. I also felt like trying one of the other eyes. Anyone know how I can change them dynamically by changing UV-coords?

Re: Rockstar San Diego
A year or two under such conditions in a solid relationship should be tolerated IMHO. Obviously not in conditions like having to deal with newborn kids alone; but young couples are usually aware of the difficulties of building their own future and the sacrifices it might involve. Not everyone can rely on parents to provide… -
Re: Reverse light vector emissive material help
This is consistent with tests I did yesterday. Great if you want a top-to-bottom gradient, not so much if you want anything useable. Exactly. The problem is getting self-shadowing and faked bounce light at the same time, and it seems the only way to achieve this is with the emissive channel or secondary lighting. The… -
Re: How does job relocating affect your personal life?
These days it's relatively easy to make new friends and stay in touch with old ones - especially if you're used to chatting online, playing video games, etc. Don't be fooled by the posts saying that family will always be there and able to visit you wherever you go though. Life is a big gamble and its impossible to know… -
Re: [US] Wisdom about Choosing Medical Insurance as an Individual
Not to get political by any means but obamacare is a freaking joke. When I tried to freelance my insurance (forced to buy by the way or else get fined) was a few hundred bucks a month for BASIC coverage. My perception before I had to buy insurance outside of an employer was that Obamacare would provide myself with an…
