Hey all, I'll try and be brief (cos I have a habit of writing too much). I've been making a Tyranid Fleshborer (for those uninitiated in Warhammer 40K, it's the gun held by this guy: http://www.fightingtigersofveda.com/fbtermie.JPG). I wanted to make an unusual gun, so I went for this Tyranid one; the short explanation of…
Hello Polycount! Few months ago I had posted a "Baby Xenomorph" sculpt I had made basing myself on a great concept art by Vũ ThẮng Văn. This was the result: I was already planning to bring the sculpt into the next stages, in oder to turn it into an animated real-time character, which means that I also want to rig it and…
Hello everyone! Long story short. The game art I created looks much brighter and vibrant on my home monitor than on my work monitor. On my work monitor it looks much darker. Does anyone know if there is some kind of "standard" monitor for game art or is there a certain type of monitor that I should be using? Or a certain…

I'm working on a project with some friends, which should be the first public title for our team. The game was first planned to be a retro platformer, but the design slowly skewed into a bigger and bigger project. We've come to the conclusion this will be our debut title as a game studio. Naturally with this new big goal,…
Hi guys - for those of you in Australia and want to see what Houdini is about (yeah these are film-centric but feel free to hit up Jeff Wagner for questions on Houdini+games), there will be 3 events held in the month of February, in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Limited room so register for your spot! Adelaide - February…
I wonder if this is just the top of the line model then selling at a much higher price than regular consoles. I seem to recall they were planning different tiers for their console, so perhaps the mortal tier which games might actually target as a baseline will turn out a good deal weaker. There must be a catch here - 899…
@cabooes Alright. It seems I found the issue. Zbrush WeldPoints has some weird tolerance slider(Weld Distance). By default it seems to be set to 1. And that will only merge a small portion of vertice. Now you can crank it up higher but I wouldn't recommend since there is no floating point precision in distance(And you…
If you don't want to calculate your hourly rate, then I would recommend you start with $25/hour, and convert to your local currency. That's a decent low-end international rate for 3d rendering work. The lower end makes sense because you are just starting. As you get better, you can increase your rate. You need to estimate…
Because Paul-tards are here. What really needs to happen is the payroll cap should be removed, and it would be functional well past this OMG 2040!!! deadline. And Obama needs to stop making these dumb-ass payroll tax holidays that result in like 8-10 dollars per american extra a month, but en masse results in less and less…
