Hah, cool! Its quite strange seeing what is quite familiar from a top down perspective, from a 3d one, haha. I think that, for a kit like this, steps and bridges might be useful. Kind of a staple for top down adventure games I think. People might want to traverse along the plateaus. The repetition of your grass tiles is a…
Short answer: In the end, you'll need both. Long answer: I don't think you should learn one first and then the other, but learn enough of each to do what you set out to do. With that said I think it's important to start small and tackle something that you have a really good shot at completing, because success snowballs.…
In my experience, typical man-day rates in India from low-mid-high quality are generally $135 - $175 - $195. China's about the same, except their low-end can go as low as $90 and their high-end averages out around $225. For US individual contractors I generally see $250 - 450\day, but the cream of the crop are usually $500…
I got me a 12wx and I'm really diggin it so far. On a sort of related note; I have a few complaints with Wacom. They have been THE leading tablet manufacturer for over 10 years now. You would think that in those years they would have done the following by now..; --Price drop on their standard Intuos brand tablets. Since…
Like Pior said - take the time to read that thread. It's huge, yes, but it's invaluable. Although keeping quads is very important, there are times were Ngons are perfectly fine. The main problem you have in that example scizz, is that your edge loops are incomplete. You were doing just fine, but it looks like you stopped…
You have the reference for the pieces, now block the gun out in those pieces. The blockout you have now is one solid piece is practically unusable and will be very hard to manage in terms of nailing down the different forms that are present in the gun. Stop high poly modeling until you have an incredibly solid blockout.…
"You can't stop her, nobody can stop her" Uh oh... just say no to definitive statements! As a big fan of what Nolan has done with these movies, I hope that this doesn't turn into a giant cluster of shallow characters vying for screen-time. Not saying that this will, but the first two movies I would say each had 1…
One issue I've been running into while teaching; was getting students to understand principals based on technology that are no longer widely used. Case in Point: An F-Stop makes no sense to someone, who has no recollection of what a manual analog camera is. Without the knowledge of an F-Stop, they don't understand…
I've noticed this loss of pressure sensitivity some times, and i came to the conclusion that it is caused by applications running in backgrouns ( usually those in the system tray ). This is more common when we have anti virus installed they do scan in background and alerts may appear at any time resulting in lost of…
Spoon - Yeah, in a sense. I do feel like I will lose it if I stop. As if all of my current skills are temporary! Hah. Abidius - Fortunately I get out quite a lot. Definitely agree that as soon as it stops being passion, breaks must be had. Inflict3D - Time to get an egg timer! Not a bad hint at all! Torch - That's a…
