Re: WIP - Let's call it Avalon for now
Conceptually speaking I am not sure if the cords going from one arm to the other actually make sense. If the cord is supposed to deliver energy from a battery maybe you could indicate that by placing the battery on a small backpack. I thing the spiral-old-phone cord weakens the look of the character, maybe a more solid,… -
Re: Nintendo Conference
I never found the SNES controller uncomfortable. Was the NES uncomfortable? Do you have opposable thumbs? using as much energy as a nightlight in standby isn't a problem. using as much energy as an Xbox360 while playing is. honestly, you're debating lightbulbs in a nintendo thread. the graphics don't look bad. since when… -
Re: Looking for people to rip into my portfolio
polycount is notorious for giving detailed critique. the advantage of eliciting intoxicated honesty is you get the truth, to some degree, as welcoming harshness brings all sorts of energy along with it. if you can get a master artist to speak honestly, then that's a great thing indeed! so just keep in mind that being able… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
I'm not wildly happy with mine at the moment. It feels a little too cramped (I think my scale got away from the concept a little) - and I rushed a lot of the texture work, just wanting to get it out of the way. I'm going to give it a couple days' space, then either push on or call it finished. The initial plan was to bake… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
Call it ideological rather than rational, but....I would always rather have a human's feedback than an AI. I mean.....I don't know about anyone else, but when I create, it's humanity I'm chasing. Trying to make things that say something to humans, resonate with humans, feels human. I don't see how a brainless machine could… -
UE4: Mesh emitter with refraction material "breaking" UE4
Hi, I'm trying to make a shockwave just when a energy ball explodes. This shockwave is made out of a mesh emitter (sphere) that quickly expands with a refraction (glass material with a water normal map on it) material on it to simulate hot air that distorts everything. But some weird stuff is hapening and it's not working… -
Re: MAYA Topology technique/script
your link is broken fer me... But from yer description I assume u want to insert edges in Max like flow? ( the flow of the curvature ) In Maya the same principle I call gesture. I assume that the energy is present in the low rez polygon shorthand is gestural. And that smoothing and adding complexity should respect that… -
Re: America: time to panic?
I've read that before and it's funny that he even says the opposite in his article: "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This is not to say that at some point in the future (around a 100 years or so) we couldnt use it (oil) all up but by then one would assume that by then alternative energy sources will be… -
Re: Flu shots this year?
I've never heard of anything like that. I'm sure there are homeopathic crazies out there that say crap like that, but I think for the most part those things are meant to supplement the immune system. And that's what I take, supplements. For example, since I stopped going to the doc for sinus infections I started taking… -
Re: To 3d, or to be happy(ish)?
Fuck that shit. Seriously, bullshit. If you are so unhappy and stressed because of a job that it causes physical sickness, quit that shit. Period. Health is worth more than money. In a job that bad you won`t be able to get another job properly lined up anyways, because the stress will be blocking you from searching for a…
