Hello everyone, I'm currently UV mapping the side profile of an aircraft to be mirrored later (AH-1W chopper) in Maya and having trouble deciding which strategy to adopt. One method I have been experimenting with is the use of flat plane mapping from the side and then using the UVunfold tool in Maya's UV window to unfold…
I was in the same situation as you, and just finished building my computer yesterday. All went fine. Here is some stuff I learned doing my research: i7's really don't really need to be overclocked, so if you go for the 3770, get the non-K version. Overclocking CAN lead to shorter cpu life if you're not careful with…
All joking aside, I have been considering doing something like this, as I think it might be better for the eyes. Why? Because a regular computer screen is about 50cm away from the eyes, while the resting focal point of human eyes is somewhere around 1 or 2 meters I think. Plus there's the difference between backlit screens…
it's one of those threads again : fritter your disposable income on stuff that random people point you at ... it's fascinating to see what people can coerce you into spending money on with no resistance whatsoever ... but first, rules : post a direct link to something you can buy immediately, and only one thing per person…

It's looking a bit like the whole cliff is made of mud or dirt, from all that high-frequency detail. And there's…

We are currently in the final stages of post production. For the film, we are looking for a VFX artist who would like to contribute to a passion project and…
Hey, not bad. I didn't recognise her at first (probably due to lack of hair and texture) but when you mentioned the name I can see the likeness, so that's good. There's something definitely very wrong about the ears. Mainly they're too small, and as DarthNater mentioned you seem to have really shoved them into the skull a…
Looking great Jelmer, very cool. I feel like the curve of the eyelid where it meets the eyeball is a bit wobbly. It's often surprising how perfect some forms in nature are, and looking at some birds eyes, I feel like the eye contour would probably be much more perfect than that, know what I mean? The wobbliness in your…
