Re: CD/DVD operating system?
Not the entire 7200 series, because then you'd just be talking about the entirety of seagate. the 7200.11 specifically is super prone to failures, but we've moved on to better and greater things :) , it just sucks for anyone who bought a seagate drive in like the last year and a half. Also, there's a firmware update that… -
Re: unlimited detail ? no more polygons...
I'm pretty sure I saw this same guy demo'ing the same tech at AGDC back in 2002/3. He had the same pitch back then too, even the same spiel about how all of the games companies where in love with polygons and no one would give him a chance. I kept asking him how the hell the thing worked and he just avoided giving any… -
Re: Planetary resources in announces ASTEROID MINING venture.
Really? Who do you think it going to pay trillions and trillions of dollars to finance decades of research and devlopmment? Some magic future utopian civilization 400 years from now? With no payback? If we can make a buck pushing the boundaries of the human race, why not do it. corporations are not inherently evil or bad,… -
Re: Legend OF Zelda Master Sword
Hey man, looks really cool. I feel like you went a little over board with the edge mask damage. I'd also suggest adding a (very) slight bit of light blue emissive to the blade, to give it that magical glowing look you'd expect the sword to have. Lastly, your presentation is a bit weak. Just renders of the sword vertically… -
Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
I think a large part of it is that practical effects are such an enjoyable part of the movie making process. Actors are more engaged, and team work is better. it puts more of the work in pre-production than in. At great as CG is, it's much more of a group of hermits working in a closed room. It also plays a huge part in… -
Re: Macuahui-wha? Weapon
Did some more work on the textures and low res model. I tried a bunch of different stuff for the pommel but none of it was working out so I just nixed it altogether. Right now I'm sitting at 1523 tris, I also have a bit of UV space left if I want to add any other minor details to the model. The specular was a quick and… -
Re: Sketchbook: Nick Shardlow
Ooh, totally new setting, approved! I like the second and the third one. Second one with castle overlooking lake environment for some reason immediately made me think of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, and the mention of Sholomance that is made in it. Sholomance was supposed to be a school for black magic if memory serves me… -
Re: London Chap
Bakes came out great. The hair looks pretty ace as well. I would probably keep the normal map detail on the jacket but I would also probably add some knit detail to the jumper too. Don't be nervous about the diffuse. That is where the magic happens. P.S I would probably Set the bottom edges of the jacket and the loops…
