Outhouse - Painted Textuters
I designet the outhouse with the intent of making it look as if an amateur had built it on a budget, with limited resources of materials. A hunter living alone, somewhere in a Scandinavian forrest. A minimalist, and practical of mind. The goal of this project, is to practice my skills with textures painted from scratch in… -
Re: Student, Need tips & advice
For software introduction: Digital Tutors Digital Tutors offers a lot of intro DVDs to most software. Things are well explained and no step is skipped. It's "follow along" training.

Re: XBLA Project

The problem with asset packs for a single type of texture category such as forests or mountains when buying textures from a texture library is that the indie customer may not need all the textures in the pack and may need other textures not in the pack. For indies on a limited budget, this can easily put the cost out of… -
Re: Console Purchase Help
Dont forget, GTA4, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Quake wars, Bioshock, Forza, Gears of War 2 (probably), and so on. As well as the already great selection there already is. If they are comparable graphically, and Xbox has a better game line up for the foreseable future, why not buy? You'll be waiting another 10 years to upgrade to… -
Re: WHAT ARE DISPLACEMENT MAPS???
Well as I said, VDMs uses the point (or vertex) data from a mesh, both the height and more importantly the direction of the point vectors to create its data. UVs don't really have anything to with this. Sure, it's true that UVs can (and are) used for storing and displaying that data in a map file, it's really the… -
Re: American Auto Industry
There was a time i could agree about the shitty American car deal. Well, i still kinda do but only with Chrysler. GM stepped up to the plate but has recently fallen back again.
