Re: Yes, Another Thread on Schools
I see what you did there! I hate you too! <3 My 3D teacher was actually my graphic design teacher xd, but yea I don't want to get personal, but my parent's house isn't an option due to past experiences. I also want to add something else, I'm pretty bad at self teaching with things I'm not familiar with. For example, I've… -
Re: Pirate (WIP)
Definitely always a topic of discussion, but with the increasing hardware even on mobile , I have worked on games where we could have 300-400k+ tri's on screen at any given time with 512^2 textures. Soon enough mobile will support these higher res meshes, and companies are building software for the future and are looking… -
Re: Can someone please advise on upgrading my system?
What OS? If you don't already have Win7 64 that would be a good place to start, up your ram to 8gb would be a cheap quick upgrade, Win7+SSD makes a pretty nice difference as well, I have a very similar setup to you(was running XP64) and added a 120GB SSD + Win764 and it was like buying a new computer. Your mobo/CPU… -
Re: The Reference Thread
Had to do some tunneling equipment for a project and thought I would post up my reference that I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_boring_machine http://www.herrenknecht.com/ http://www.herrenknecht.com/products/tunnel-boring-machines/traffic-tunnelling/epb-shield.html… -
Re: Why does UDK suck so bad at NMs
I had to resort to recreating my NormalMap's from a TC-Default setup, with my Blue being my AO and my Alpha my Displacement to save on texture count at the same time and SRGB disabled. Also, if what EQ said is right, I'm sorely disappointed at the peeps from Epic. Here is why; Lets say for the sake of argument that Epic… -
Re: Student portfolio help & advice
Hey OP, You can improve a lot. For example it still seems you are really weak on modelling. Can you maybe start doing these. It starts simple, but it is really good practice. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129938 http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132146… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
Same situation. Done with Maya and Autodesk in general, and working on transitioning out of Maya into Houdini for general 3d work, for modeling I've fallen in love with MoI, it is however a NURBS modeler, but it's on a whole different level and doesn't have the difficulty issues usually associated with NURBS. Best… -
Re: Getting into 3d scanning
I know Photoscan a bit. Result is very similar to 123d catch, with slightly more control. I really dislike what Autodesk made of their technology with the online application and cloud. Photogrammetry is used in place of laser scanning by professionals in architecture, archeology... With a correct calibration, it's very… -
Re: Florida schools - my goals
As someone who very recently graduated, and looking at all the debt I'm in, and honestly the education isn't any better than one you can get online. To back it up: Year subscription to Gnomon: 400-500? Too lazy to look it up Year subscription to Digital Tutors: 300-400? Professional critique and networking via polycount:… -
Re: Greek Fighting Stage Environment UDK critique please!
Overall, it's nice, but it lack of punch. I defenitely think that a scene of that kind need to be more localized. What I mean is for the moment, your arena fight looks in the middle of nowhere...floating in the sky. An EPIC background is needed to make your scene more valuable...some fantasy mountains covering up this big…
