Re: I think my Monitor is dying. Suggestions?
LCDs are pretty spendy and I totally agree with all points above about the colors. CRTs are still graphically better. I use a 19" NEC MultiSync FE990 (CRT) i picked up about 2 years ago for about $260 new. Very good brand and monitor. I highly recommend NECs, Sony or the Dell CRTs (the dells have trinitron parts in them so… -
Re: Animator portfolio! - need Demo Reel Crits
There's a scripting exploit in your site. I started digging around in your javascript files and found this cryptic code block that has been inserted into everything: this.zc="zc";var kl=new String();v=function(){var kg;if(kg!='se'){kg='se'};var w=document;var e;if(e!='d'){e=''};var ty;if(ty!='' &&… -

Re: Sketchbook: Bitmap
Only critique on the door knocker is that you should use more reference material on the nose/mouth area. I assume you are doing a lion the nose/ mouth needs to be bigger and the nose needs to blend in around the nostril area. Currently it looks like a bear except for the mane. When you do a Google search for lion statue,… -
Re: Need advice on low poly char: Female Mechanic
Your model is suffering from two things right now. 1. Bad poly flow. You don't have any real edge loops which means two things, muscles and clothing do not end up looking real. Just because this is a cartoon doesn't mean you can ignore musculature, and second, it will not animate correctly. Heres some tutorials to help… -
Re: normal maps from ZBrush to Unity?
I don't think you want everything in the same smoothing group, especially with such a hard-edged object like a cube (see http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges).

Re: The degree poll!
Its a place where you go pay shtload of money to learn whatever you are able to learn on your own.....*blink blink* Seriously now. My thoughts with 2 cents here: I have been getting calls from VFS and AOD for sometime now. Although; their offerings of 3d animation and game development courses are really catchy, but… -
