Re: [Need Feedback] Maya study, hard-surface - Combat turret with blades
really cool model!! Overall i feel it is really well done But i feel your proportions are off, the blades and feet feel too short In the concept you can see the feet extending past the barrel of the weapon Also on the top "Dome" you are missing a few pieces i also feel the area under the blades you kinda went your own way… -
Re: Modeling for 3rd Person games
Ah, sorry I missed that the first time. For weapons, you're typically viewing them from behind the right shoulder, so the top/right side of the weapon is the most important area. Frequently you'll need to make adjustments to the lengths of certain parts of the weapon to get them to read better - snub-nosed guns don't read… -
Re: Alex's big push to better his high poly skills(Also Baking and material definition)
After looking at the great tut on material definition over here I took my time and decided that most of the parts are painted metal, with the neck section being almost chrome like. Also the extended arm parts are painted metal except the ends which look more like rubber. Still doing a ton of tweaking but I think I'm… -
Re: Is my graphics card worth upgrading?
Upgrading the case is going to extend the life of his components though. New PSU, GPU, and a case will give him more performance and better cooling. It will also free him to upgrade at will because once you have a good case, you can use it over and over since they change so rarely. I have an Antec 900 V3 and it's a good… -
Re: Ye ole wooden barrel - Practice
It would really help your barrel if you baked down a normal map from a quickly made high poly for this asset, provided this doesn't extend beyond the scope of what you were trying to accomplish here. Also, slap a specular texture on there, even if it's just a desaturated version (the wrong way to make a spec map) of your… -
Re: Aldabra Giant Tortoise
The feet, especially the toes, could use some work. The claws should be thicker, and the toes distinct if a bit stubby. The forelegs could probably use a bit more distinction between the foot and the leg. The wrinkles of the neck run from the shoulder to the base of the jaw, with additional wrinkles along the length when… -
Re: Global warming: polar ice
I thought that when water frezes it gets smaller? wouldnt that make a difference to the huge areas ov ice underwater in the arctic circle. One thing that i do know is that the carbon levels in our atmosphere will do more than just boil our oceans. It will burn our trees and create massive global fires blocking out most of… -

Re: New Laptop
+1 Dell from me too. I bought a top spec XPS machine 4 years ago and it will still handle the latest games and 3d apps. The graphics card is DX9c though - no DX10 for me. There are three considerations when using high-end 3d apps on a laptop - cooling, cooling and cooling. Seriously, your graphics card WILL fry - it's just… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
I'm a follower of the "If we can't prove nor disprove God he obviously doesn't make a difference therefore I don't care" belief. The state should make sure that neither it nor any of its employees publicly endorse or condemn any religion because that's what the constitution means with "separation of church and state". That…
