Good good good! Congratulations on a number of things: -MINNESOTA! WOOP -Starting out at a young age! I just wanted to chime in and drop you some encouragement. For 15 you've got a fantastic start with the basics of modeling. I started out at a young age as well (14) and if you put enough work into this nothing will block…
Did you skip the intro? Naija narrates the story as you play. At the start she said she felt lonely and wanted to explore the world/find some meaning to her existence. Thats how it starts anyway, it later evolves into a much more interesting story. So its an adventure game, go explore until something cool happens. And…
Maybe the Atkins does not work for everyone but I was on a strict atkins diet when I was 270 lbs at 5'10 . I lost 110 lbs in 6 months on that diet and using Trimspa and working out 5 days a week for an hour of heavy cardio and weight lifting . It was mostly the working out that did the trick but the diet and the pills…
yeah I did it for about 5 years as a part time job when I was a kid. these days it's a lot less complicated and rather cheap actually. What you'll need: 1. black and white printer 2. screen transfer heater (about 200 ~ 500 dollars) 3. ink and screen holder, squeeji (cheap, 20 dollars or so for the lot) 4. T-Shirts. 5.…
cheers you guys! yeah they did sort of lay me off after, but I was really burnt after 5 months there, and really appreciated the break. Of all the people I met when I worked there, all but 5 are still there in the 2 months since I've left. Kinda says something about the company. I start Tuesday at Shaba, and I'm stoked.…
If this was to be a decal type overlay you would want to include the slight depression around the outer edge and possibly the mossy bits too. Alternatively if the center logo didn't matter, you cut the texture in half or quarter it and still keep the same pixel density. 8 tris. 9 tris if you map the logo uniquely. 4 tris.…
Finally spent a solid day on it, coming along quite nicely, though all the alphas on the plants seem to slow down Maya considerably, which can be frustrating. Really like the dusky fog effect. I can't seem to get more than 5 or so lights in in the scene at a time, does anyone know a fix for this? I would simply bake the…
Well, I kinda feel like this should be done in pimping and previews. If that's the case, just let me know and I'll set it up there. I just thought since this is where people have commented, I'd throw it up on this thread rather than start another. My portfolio website is here. Yes, It's not a self made website. I figured…
if i can keep motivated, im going to try to update this thread with ongoing portfolio pieces. heres another model im going to work on. just worked up the sketch today. will start on modeling this week. hopefully you guys can give me some pointers during... i was thinking a pretty cool way to build a portfolio would to…
Yeah, Max 2008's viewport performance is about 10x faster than 8/9 (not just marketing blurb, it's actually true) - I did some tests on Max 2008 and Maya 2008 - with a 1.5 million triangle model, Max 2008 gets just over 100fps in the viewport, Maya 2008 gets a mighty 16fps (which is about what Max 8 could manage).…
