Re: [WIP] Landmark Modeling and Texturing for Videogames
4_Mapping UV of landmark Hi 3DModelers, Today I come back to show you the mapping UV of this landmark. I followed the same technique that I have commented in other post. I only mapped a quarter of this monument in order to save some place and get more quality in the texture. For example, I only mapped one stair and stoned… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
This list doesn't make a lot of sense, I think. The 'in-eye' density of the pixels/dots varies wildly if you graph it out: I'd say that generally you wanna strive for a PPI density of at leastDPI = 200/(distance in feet) So 1 feet = 200 PPI (phone in hand) 2 feet = 100 PPI (laptop/desktop) 4 feet = 50 PPI (no idea what… -
Re: Houses - Rent or Buy?
That may be true out on the west coast (in fact, I'm sure it is), but it isn't true for most of the rest of the US. The majority of middle America pays roughly the same cost in mortgage payments (plus taxes, etc) as they do in rent for an equivalent property, given reasonable rates and a normal down payment (15%-25%). That… -
Re: 2012 thoughts?
I saw it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was ridiculously bad. I'm getting so sick of seeing Roland Emmerich being given gajillions of dollars to make the same tired, cliche-ridden 'event' movie over and over again. What's most depressing is that apparently Emmerich takes 25% of the box office gross, so he'll… -
Re: Who is excited about Mafia 2 ?
I've played it like 4 times or so now. I have to say I really like it overall. The amount of detail, lighting/shadow quality is very impressive. I have a decent machine, nothing too crazy, but it runs fine for me, no issues at all. The only things that I would like to see fixed/changed if possible is crouching whenever u… -
Re: Sword sequence (Critiques would be very appreciated)
I'd watch some videos of Iaido masters, don't think about what you plan to animate, just observe closely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WkwFCXfCkQ Pay close attention to how they move their feet when they step, how their torso moves when making a cut, how their right hand contact and grip the sword. The grip is… -
Re: Walther p22 - WIP
Good start here. I think your biggest issue so far is defining the separate materials. Your metal appears very similar to the plastic, and both of them have more "bump" than they would in reality. It feels as if i reached out and touched it, it would feel rough. But in reality, it would be very smooth. Could be due to the… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
I saw Fausto De Martini give a presentation once where he mentioned he was working on his portfolio work for something like ~6 hours after working a full time job every day before getting his job at Blizzard. Most pros have similar stories. My thoughts... most people have way more time that they waste than they realize.… -
Re: In-game TF2 footage
Spoon, the Heavy's gun was one of the original "noob cannons". It was a great class to start with if you were new to the game. You could be sloppy, not be a twitch god, and still get some kills and play an important role for your team. It is a useful but limited class in that if you were in the right place, you could get… -
Re: Presidential Debate Round 2
On its way. Thanks Kevin. Jonathan: You've made it clear, and continue to make it clear, what your deciding factors are. Just like Ephesians. You watch FOX News. You vote for a guy, and he does wrong. Enormous wrong. Wrong by you. You continue to vote for him. You justify it because his "morals" were "right". He tackles…
