Re: Kart racing game
I wanted to keep the rendering in the game as inexpensive as possible to make the game lightweight and playable on very low-spec machines. (I never mentioned it but the target platform is PC/Mac) So at least for now, the environments are vertex lit without any shaders, for the fastest drawing speed possible. Performance… -
Re: Rugged Mercenary-type character
Model looks great (apart from the aforementioned ear thickness, I also think it'd look better thinner). Texture looks like it needs work - as has been said, the forehead and nose areas are waaay too bright and washed out, I'm pretty sure it's the texture doing that. It's not just a case of adding more colour, I think you… -
Re: 3D Studio Max 7 is here
The UV Relax tool is STILL broken. Seriously, they've had since max5 to fix it, but they just seem to be ignoring it. IMHO it's a vital tool, and they just don't seem to be bothered that theirs sucks. It actually ADDS more distortion half the time, because it just averages the vertices in UV-space, ignoring the world-space… -
Re: Woo! robotic Immortality Predicted for 2050!
I love this quote from the article: [ QUOTE ] "You need a complete global debate," he said. "Whether we should be building machines as smart as people is a really big one." [/ QUOTE ] Ahem, yeah, when we actually get to the point where we are able to create a self-aware machine, then we should have that debate. That's like… -
Re: Graphics card upgrade query
Something to take into account is that zbrush uses software rendering, so its completely dependent on the CPU, gpu doesn't matter. The Intel 2600k and 2500k ("sandy bridge") processors should be getting officially launched in a few days, and in Q3 the octa-core (for LGA2011 socket) chips will be coming out. This also means… -
Re: Ashamed to be Canadian - G20
I know cops are supposed to be good examples of humanity etc but yeah. Just keep in mind that they have a shitton of pressure and anywhere in the crowds there might be a nutjob aiming for their head with a brick. I'd certainly be on my toes and react to everything that seemed hostile. But yeah, I agree there's alot of bad… -
Re: Time for another Scotch Thread!
Oh, I love the sausage. Did I say that out loud? Haggis is superb. Crombies of Edinburgh is about 2 streets away from R* offices in Edinburgh. http://www.sausagelinks.co.uk/Producer_detail.asp?id=131 It just might be the finest butchers I've ever been in, and they do hot food at lunctime. £2.50 for Haggis, neeps and spuds,… -
Re: give me your clothes, your boots...
He looks a lot different now - the ravages of age and all that, but you're obviously going for the T2 period. Because Arnie was a bodybuilder, there's very little fat on his face. There are very well defined muscle groups - like the ring of muscle around the mouth, and the jaws. He also has quite strong bone structure -… -
Re: wanna change my job! portfolio inside + questions
[ QUOTE ] I'm going to disagree. Most of the time small studios don't have the budget to attract "really talented people". [/ QUOTE ] I would have to agree for MOST of the studios out there that are small. But it depends on the type of games being made and the man power it takes to make them. Mine is more or less the… -
Re: Eye problem
While it may not be perfect, the amount of improvement shown over the first models is great! You've really got the right attitude to go on with this. You don't need to go around saying your models are ugly though - while they may not match up with the quality of seasoned pro modellers' work, they're definitely a long way…
