Re: Nvidia vs ATI
When doing game art there's little to no gain. I'm using a Quadro FX 4800 at work and even though I'm working in architectural visulization where you get a shitload of polygons onscreen I only notice a larger performance boost above 5.000.000 tris. The real performance gain seems to come when you put your viewport down to… -
Re: [UDK] The Riddler's Den
Hey this is looking really good. I was looking at your earlier screen shots of this project and it's come such a long way :) Good job! I think the only thing I feel picky about is that small desk lamp back there. I feel like it's producing too large of an area of light. I've got a desk lamp the same size and sometimes it's… -
Re: [Portfolio] JackyBoy, Environment Artist
That barrel is funky... looks like it's about to have a warp core breach on startrek. Maybe ditch those lightshaft effects. I've never seen a burning barrel do that and I grew up on a farm where we made extremely good use of our burning permit. Otherwise that scene is coming along really nicely. If you're looking to add… -
Re: RL Photoshop Tutorial
2 things that come to mind* teach them the core shortcuts * show them how to find the right tutorials on the net (whats crap, whats not, what to look out for, how to search specific) so they can dig deep and know how to help them selves. personally I never read any PS books and more or less learned everything by playing… -
Re: Move Tool at Odd Angles-3DS Max 2009
I toggle the ref coord system between local and view constantly. That local pivot comes in really handy some times. I wrote this little script that each time you press the move, scale or rotate keyboard shortcuts, it switches it to the oposite mode. Save the script anywhere, run it once, (you can then delete it after… -
Re: Far Cry 3 - Stranded Trailer
I probably played an hour exactly on multiplayer... lol...I clocked in like 30-40 hrs in singleplayer in FC2. I'm not in here for an argument, not going to waste my time. The game has been getting great reviews from metacritic and I just beat the game, so I am unsure as to what exactly you are playing. Just because the… -
Re: Local Transforms in Max
That's why I've switched to Softimage from Max and will never come back! Max is good for some technical workflows but it has ugly ooooold schooly instruments - even the latest versions with various add-ons (like polyboost) attached. Without VERY SERIOUS remake of Max's core interaction model (ARTIST <-> 3D Environment) it… -
Re: Work PC Questions
An upgrade from 3 GB to 4 GB with your current system may give you a noticeable performance increase, as 3gb = turning off dual channel ram. You need even # of ram sticks to run in dual channel mode. Your mobo should support a nice quad core too, i've got a q6600 which is fantastic-awesome-great, but it looks like they… -
Re: NEX modeling tools for Maya
the ability to choose any coordinate system for translating geometry in sounds neat. haven't heard about a general approach like this since mirai. other tools are far too restricted and narrow minded in this regard. anyway it's a maya plugin. as such it is version- and platform dependant. will they update it for every new… -
Re: ODST
Nice work man, it's coming along! The ODST getup has always been a favorite of mine. On a semi-unrelated note Rens, I gotta say I love your passion for Halo. I've gotten so sick of the whole cynical Halo hate bandwagon that hangs out on gaming blogs that I don't even bother reading the comments on Halo articles. Bungie…
