Re: My job SUCKS.
[ QUOTE ] I hate my job, I get paid nicely to surf the net and idle in irc. I'd rather actually be getting paid to do art and actually working. Thinking about quiting sometimes just so I can put myself behind the 8ball and do something, but the money keeps me sitting here day after day. [/ QUOTE ] Wow... its like I wrote… -
Re: Book Recommendations!
Sorry, I learned everything I know on the job. I couldn't recommend any specific books. If you have any questions though, feel free to ask. Here's a free tip on how every default.css file should start... body {margin:0px;} Removing all margins from the base page element is always a good idea for css files. It helps you to… -
Re: Who Works On A Laptop / Recommendations?
Dell XPS system is used by a couple people here as a portable workstation, they all seem to like it. I've owned a few high-end HP Pavilions in the past and I was very happy with those. Biggest things I can say when choosing a laptop: - widescreen is a must... not because of the screen, but because you get a full… -
Re: The Big Lebowski WIP
TorQue-- thanks! I was worried how much the model would resemble Goodman before the texture-- I really wanted the silhouette to come across as Walter without the Texture doing all that work... Labrat-- thanks for the advice (and the ref images!) It's a great help in visualizing my final environment! I've UV'd Walter and… -
Re: Nintendo 3DS launch video
I love it! Although that opinion could possibly be jaded by the fact I'm so excited about the product. I really hope it's region free or that the EU/US release isn't like 6 months later as it usually is with Nintendo handhelds. Trailer looked good I thought, the whole ninja friending thing was a little weird and I'm not… -
Re: Fallout 3 Corner Room Scene
My main critique is that your scene looks even more low res then the already low res and dated looking original. I understand that as a second year student you might not have the skills yet to do it better. Hence i think it would have been a better idea to create something new. Your work will be judged against the… -
Re: Mercenary
CandyStripes05: That is because of the angle of the render. You will see this better later on. I am going to keep the arms mirrored to save UV space. It is not very noticeable unless you are looking at him from a direct front view. I will shape up the feet a bit more as well. The final model is going to be pretty low poly… -
Re: Mudbox Drops to 10$ a Month
@authentic I love Maya and I think I'll love Mudbox when I try it. From modeler's perspective, I love Maya's context marking menus, decent customizability, scripting, and that it has more features in less tools, requiring less marking menu items and hotkeys. They made many improvements for Maya 2015, but still I'm… -
Re: MFA degree for teaching?
I'm currently teaching in the Media Arts and Animation department. So, more focused on film and TV than games, though a lot of my students are interested, so we talk about the workflow differences when it comes up. My classes tend to focus more on technical implementation, so Maya 101 all the way up to advanced lighting… -
Re: Advance Normal Mapping in XSI
I hate to bump this post up. Tho, a year and so many props later. Im still having trouble baking normals with softimage. And previewing the maps. I just cant seem to get the same results i do when i use max. The problem happens mainly when i try to do more complex shapes. It seems that there is always some kind of…
