In 8 months I had multiple problems with my Sager NP7330. The screen started going bad (blotchy artifacts all over) from shortly after I purchased it, a few months later a small crack showed up next to the keyboard, and the hinge broke after about 5 months. The cooling is also the worst I've seen on any laptop, probably…
Thank you, @Elithenia! @ashraful mobin - I had another look and I'm not entirely sure! It seems like a combination of several things - very likely need define it to rework the topology to define it better. Proportions: I notice that I definitely made her torso a little long, which could have thrown off her lower body from…
bing is probably a better way to search than google. I am using it a lot. Ofc most people follow trends and just because it is from microsoft "the evil empire" people support the other "evil empire" in the making :) it is as simple and it brings certain topics in a way that is very intuitive. In fact i have found bing to…
The best thing a modeller can do to improve is tackle the hard shapes for a while and stop trying to wing it with a whole design. People always hope to learn tricks from tutorials but the truth of it mostly is that it all comes down to brute force. You can get around this by finding deco elements on buildings or functional…
Government shouldn't have given the banks any money anyway and the banks lending out money is how we got in this mess to begin with. You want more lending? To who? More irresponsible people? The market is reacting the way it is because we are broke and the price of houses are too high. We've already borrowed everything we…
So I was playing Def Jam: Fight for New York and I thought that it would be cool to do a simple Unity3D game that cloned Def Jam but with rock legends instead of the artists in the original game. Myself and others have put together a list of characters to use in the game but we need people to model, texture, rig and…
Hey people A lot of the time I encounter questions about the whole "medium-poly with weighted normals and UV2 magic" workflow, so I figured I'd experiment with a Clear Coat UE4 material and document it while I test stuff. ArtStation I ended up making a Master Material that contains some tiling wood textures from a previous…
Slo mo is a pretty specific edge case but that falls under the "...as long as you don't interpolate between those values." part that can be a headache, lol. Most engines have interpolation settings, Unreal has them on anims, montages, blendspaces and I think on aim offsets. If interpolation is set to 0 the clips just play…
Neat looking model and concept also really liking those fat bevels :thumbs up: "...I'm considering keeping them and trying out the Zbrush workflow. Still not sure. Feedback on this would be apreciated. Also, should I avoid a subdiv workflow at this stage, since it can be slower?" Yeah zbrush, I'd say go for it probably add…
Hey BlvdNights - I'll work on up-ing the poly count on some things. Did you have any specific things that looked too low poly, or could use the up-ing in poly count? As for the tilable textures...I know I need work on them :( . But I will be talking to my teacher this next week and seeing how he does his and then trying to…
