Re: the earth is growing?
[ QUOTE ] "Conspiracy of silence"? Why the devil would anyone consider this so controversial as to hush it up? Does anyone's personal fortune depend on the acceptance of Pangea? Is there some geology textbook magnate, sitting atop a mountain of Pangea-extolling tomes at $65 each, lining the pockets of noted scientists in… -
Re: does a degree make a difference?
What moose says. Most "Game Design" specific colleges give degress that may or may not be recognized by more reputable academic institutions. Checking to see whether or not a potential college is accredited is very important. If you are specifically looking to get into game art, then you will want a 4-year Bachelor of Arts… -
Re: Thompson M1A1 - Subdivision question
Thanks for the replies guys. gsokol: Yeah, I got that (see my post), but I don't see the need to do this on my model. I was just wondering whether the same results (i.e. mainly the rounded edges) could be achieved without subdivision, and how to go about it. Grimm_Wrecking: Thanks, I saw the tutorials, but as said, I'm not… -
Re: Are Developers shooting Themselves in the foot? (design wise)
I can play a game that's easy and cool to get the experience the developer wants to give me however I don't usually get as much satisfaction from it and that need for "one more minute!" since it's usually served to me on a silver plate. Examples of games, Skyrim, Deus Ex, Modern warfare and similar. This is fine and those… -

Re: High P cloth modelling tips ?
hmm i think i do it quite similar. In modo tho, i dont have to make the verts match the base mesh. I can put the base mesh in a background layer, do the cloth on the working layer, and have all the geometry i create snap to the geometry in the background layer (the base mesh). That way i can concentrate on placing the… -
Re: Rectangular texture maps, a bad thing?
UV coordinates always range from 0.0 - 1.0 they are not described in sizes such as 512 x 256 but always 0.0 - 1.0 because they are described as floating values within that range (although you can place stuff outside, but usually when textured it gets looped). So whenever you create a UV map of lets say 512 x 256 in the end… -
Re: Request: Critique my UVW work
What you want to do if not mentioned already it use all your unwrap space to the best of your restraints, such as 512 or 1024. Secondly you have to space out everything to just the right amount or enough to put just the right amount of texturing/paint on it. I've just learned you have to space important parts out one that… -
Re: MEL questions
Hmm, well the getModifiers command seems like it'll work for some of the stuff I wanted it for, shame its so limited though. Ended up using it and stringArrayCantenate right away :) As for the undo stuff, atm I'm using the scriptJobs compressUndo flag as a stand in till can figure out a real solution, sense while as it'll… -
Texturing Tips

I create A folder called Ammo_Box and I gather as much reference, and textures that relate to that task. If the Ammo box is made…
