[These pictures are high res, so I didn't embed them] I don't like the sculpted statue- I think it's very blobby, and brings down the scene(The rest of the scene looks nice, so far). The base-part that he's sitting on is sculpted very well, though. Did you use any reference while sculpting him? If not, check out these…
1. Depends on Engine. But it sually will be at least 1DC per material/shader permutation. 2. Again. There is no cleaner answer, because it depends on how things are setup. If by texture maps, you mean just images, then of course second will render faster because of less triangle. How many textures you throw at object is…
Ok! After most of my free time last weekend being taken up by Extra Life (for the kids!) I've managed to pick out an hour or two every night to keep forging ahead. I tried a new rig and love it- Unfortunately it is super tempting to really exaggerate this guy, way more than the League style. So I will come back to him at a…
This is a large task indeed but I can give you some tips. You have the overall design of the map, that's good. Also the way you designed it (island) will make your work much easier. I recommend you starting with the World Machine to get the nice height map. The free version allows you to export max. 513x513px maps but you…
Okay, I had to just bite the bullet and invest a few hours today studying up on sculpting topology. I threw a few triangles in there, cleaned up my quads, and then brought the mesh into max out of topogun. I then used the autosmooth option in edit poly to automatically smooth my edges by an angle I specified. This got me…
Hey there! Its looking pretty nice! What I would really focus on is trying to nail the materials and lighting so everything pops just like the concept. The concept has more dark shadowed areas than in your scene. I would make the blue ceiling light much more dramatic and reduce the flat ambient lighting. Also making the…
[ QUOTE ] Still, none of the above writers have managed to master the one issue masterpiece, Denny O'Neil owns that category. [/ QUOTE ] I dunno man...claremont is pretty important.. no one compares when it comes to serialized writing (as in loooong runs, 100s of issues). sure, his novels weren't so hot ... though, the one…
I heard about this on NPR yesterday its going to get ugly when the realestate bubble bursts. [ QUOTE ] As long as the owners get paid for their property being taken. [/ QUOTE ] It's "fair market value" with whatever they estimate your house is worth. Who do the assesors work for? Not the old couple getting the boot. These…
I was going to ask if you wanted to do a gift trade till I clicked. false advertising! Agust got me a sweet-ass microwave/convection oven combo. He knows I hate microwaves, but he wanted one, so this way we both have what we wanted. Plus an ipod dock. My mother in law got me this!! It's a massive black cock coin-bank. The…
Hi guys, I'm looking to contract a 3D artist to create game-ready (real-time) assets for a new Unity game currently in development. The game is a (futuristic/sci-fi themed) Factory/RPG, for PC only, top-down/isometric camera. The entire project requires roughly: * 40 sci-fi buildings (1 model each + simple animation loop)…
