Re: Occupy Wall St
Dude, you're blowing this way out of proportion. Privatize it? Who said anything about the stock market? That's the whole point of an opt-out, if you like it... just opt-in. It's not a one-sided thing. And come'on man.. "Randian Fashion"? You're being ridiculous. First off, to assume that anyone that mentions anything… -
Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
Saw this last night and I'm still buzzing about it. I haven't been truly excited by a movie in a long time. As much as I love CG, there's nothing like that raw feel of actual physical stuff going on. I know there was a ton of VFX and compositing going on, but it was all so well executed that it still keeps that visceral… -
Re: Workstation tips
RAID is only useful for protecting against hardware failure though. It's not a long term backup strategy. Mirrored raid protects against HW failure, but when something overwrites you data, it will also be overwritten on your RAID mirror. 2nd problem is that the RAID is live - which means electronics can fry it. If you use… -
Re: how do I delete edges whilst keeping UV mapping?
Like Eric said, I think you should at least re-uv map it. If you don't, you'll have a bunch of seams and bunch of pieces that are stacked on top of each other. This could cause smoothing issues (see right, stacked) when you export to a game engine, depends on the engine though. If you lay them out in a straight line (see… -
Re: PS3- too expensive to develope for?
Developers never fork out their own money for anything. The budget for the project always comes from some type of investor, hoping to make profit. Next-gen games will have a much more difficult time making profit because of increasing costs. There is NO WAY to keep costs down while meeting the expectations of consumers.… -
Re: How the hell did they do this?
The Raytrace material has a bunch of tabs. the is a Raytrace map but tha's not what I'm talking about. In Raytrace Basic Parameter section you have the usual suspects Diffuse, spec, bump, Luminosity( self illumination) map slots. Note you can click on the map name and it toggles other options In Extended Parameters, click… -
Re: Lawyers vs. Rocket Launchers
They don't. Nobody sued Realmforge for bringing out 'Dungeons'. Nobody sued Trion for 'Rift'. Nobody sued PlayDead for 'Limbo'. I'm willing to bet folks here can name quite a few trademarked titles that contain those words that predate those games. A single word that constitutes part of an extended title is not similar… -
Re: Gun
I dig. However, there's a fundamental flaw in the shape of the stock. You did that cool p90 pistol grip thing http://world.guns.ru/smg/fn_p90_1.jpg but your turned the shape downward. This would make the gun really awkward to hold and fire -- you'd ahve to turn your wrist weirdly to hold it since you wouldnt be able to… -
Re: My first Zbrush wip
Even mummies have skulls. Reference is ALWAYS your friend. Anyway, looking nice for your first zbrush sculpt. Right now I think it would benefit you a lot to sharpen some things up, take brushes like claytubes and flatten and get a rougher, more sculpted look.. because, well, it is supposed to be a statue. Right now it's… -
Re: Rumour: Autodesk apparently killing Softimage!
ICE was extended into modelling under Autodesk but I think that was a continuation of a roadmap, rather than innovation under AD. The sad thing is, XSI was marketed as a companion app rather than a full DCC platform. It always appeared obvious that AD's stable was too full but I'd expected them to strip XSI clean and port…
