Re: New video card or wait?
I would wait for the 900 series cards to come out, they will be relatively affordable compared to the past pricing of the higher end cards (the 980 should be $450 I think? I paid that amount for my 770 4gb almost exactly a year ago, and its nearly 25% faster). That or get a 770 4gb when the new series comes out, should be… -
Re: Final Fantasy VIII - Balamb Garden
Well Since it all one piece now its a good idea to start making the modular pieces. Clone the circle piece, delete half of it and then delete half of the half. You're left with a quarter circle.

Re: Photorealistic Animation
Cheers for the feedback guys - very much appreciated. I agree with the comments; don't think the sofa fabric quite works.

It was just me working on it - took around 3 months, mainly using downtime between projects (plus there was the… -

Re: DarkKyo's Workshop
Sorry to spam thread with wips. Was getting pretty worried about tri count with all the spikes and horns so i went ahead and cranked out the lods and did a quick bake. On the money. 450 and 300 tris :D Your particles look a lot like the stock ones so I don't think a custom is needed. I'll just put a bunch of verts near the… -
Re: Polycount Signing
Yup it's been downsized to 800 x 450 ;) Imageshack has an autoresize feature you have to keep turning off, and you have to sign in now to get the direct image link.. unless you upload multiple things at once then it's better to be signed out because it just gives you the list of direct links, whereas if you're signed in it… -
Re: Salary of a 3d artist?
1: if you truly have the passion, teach yourself, a slightly lower starting salary wont sting as much when you are not paying back massive school loans. 2:my estimate in the usa a starting job getting you around 35/45k, after a few years 60-80k depending on a lot of factors. 3: titles are studio specific but usualy follow… -
