Re: Rendering isometric tiles with 3ds max
It's been a while since I had to do this, but here goes nothing, it should at least put you on the right track... To get a correct isometric render in max set up a free camera, click the orthographic button in its modify panel and then select the rotate tool while the camera is selected. Then right click the rotate tools… -
Re: Brandon Volpe's Portfolio Website
After taking a good look at your portfolio; here are the comments I have, and the suggestions required to make it better. I'll get this over and done with: Keep the 1 website; any more than this and it's hard to keep track of. Specialize in 1 particular field. Remove the image of yourself in the Resume section. You're a… -
Re: Introducing Advance Software / Infinity ...
Hi renderhjs, The html interface needs some work, 'tis true. Brutally honest & frank is cool. Thanks for the input, I will improve those html landing pages soon. Infinity doesn't require proprietary plugins - it introduces a new XML based scene description format I invented called XSG. It's a lot cleaner than X3D though is… -
Re: Making a short film, need some advice
Could you quickly line out: How many people do you have on your team? How many days do you have you can spend on the project (per Team member/One day being eight hours of work)?

Re: (Art test) Watercooler

Only… -
Re: Dwarven Fighter
Hey man, thanks for the reply. Yea, it does require a bit of juice to get it to run optimally, but in my experience you can get by with what would be considered a mid-tier gaming machine (what I have at home), especially for game rez work. Where the difference is really evident is the time it takes to 'Bake' each… -
Re: Hey guys, I need some career advice and perspective...
That's a tough decision but maybe looking at long term stability might help. Govt contract work is very stable. The game and film industry is not. Over the last 17 years of my involvement in games I have seen many game studios shut down suddenly with no notice or regard to the employees. Disney and Microsoft (in my… -
Re: Getting rid of your debts...
Pak nailed it with the minimum payments thing. You'll end up owing a lot more if you only make minimums. My general rule of thumb is to pay off the highest interest debts first, as these are the ones that will generally burn you over time. If your credit is shaky, it's not uncommon to be paying 20% interest on a credit… -
Re: Environment Asset WIP: Mill
I guess that raises question(s) that I have had during the production of environment pieces with normal maps, especially with a portfolio piece in mind... given the fact that buildings and assets within a game can be viewed from very close or very far, what is the target distance for them to look their best? I would…
