Re: SWINE FLU Anybody got it?
36000 die a year in the US from normal flu. Not to mention all the other viral (but a lot more boring) infections like HIV, Herpes and so forth. God, HIV is like, omg, so like, 80s. Hello! Well I just sneezed, and it could just be allergies, but I'm pretty certain it's the swine flu and I'm gonna die. Oh those damn… -
Re: Old Fuel Pumps
I don't have anything to say about the art itself.. I'm curious why you chose to do this? I think there are more 'old fuel pump' models here on polycount (or anywhere for that matter) than crates. Really, we should have a "your first fuel pump" thread. In my opinion, if you're trying to get your work noticed, you might… -
Re: flash/ maxscript / 3d: race game project
This is incredible. I've been playing with AS3 and PaperVision3D at work and I just thought there had to be a better way. A simple app that renders 12 planes which swivel along the Y-axis ended up compiling to over a megabyte because of all that extra library junk. Not to mention it had my CPU pegged at ~60% the whole… -
Re: MAX TIP: moving from physique to skin.
"In max 7 you can also use a low res skinned model and pass this data to a skin modifier in a higher res model. I use this to get my characters 80% of the way in a few clicks."

The polys are spread too much and Id like to start with better proportions next time, better hands and feet, better pose ect ect.… -

Maya Texel Density keeps becoming uniform after I use Layout UVs
So I'm trying to layout all my UV's for my model. I have some uv shells that I went to be set at a texel density of 50, others at 75 and a few at 80. I've gone ahead and set specific ones at those levels and clicking get texel density shows that. However after I use UV Layout it's averaging them all at around 81 texel… -
Re: What should my monthly wage be as a 3D Artist?
when i hire freelance programmers usually i pay $80/hr, artist/tech artist is $50+/hour. The people who cost this much usually had 5+ years of experience and know their craft pretty well. I've hired cheaper but usually it's not good quality, otherwise the person lived in very cheap place. $20k a year is poverty wage. If… -
