Justin, I think that the issue might be less one of addiction and more one of escapism. You mentioned your group being typical nerds, and that usually means a very small social circle and a degree of isolation or lack of acceptance. I think many nerds don't have "active lives" because they just don't know how to fit into…
Comrade i suggest you read up a little more on this probability function and the behaviour of light as wave and particle ... this is a good video explaining the probability function and multiple dimensions http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=1667 what he says in the video is that at any instance in time there is an…
Well here's how things work when it comes to labels like fag, nigger, nerd, etc. -It's used to address a particular sort of person (someone who is homosexual, in this case). -Because of [tradition/religion/politics] this sort of person is considered to be undesirable. -The term is then used in a derogative sense because…
Stefander - Thanks man! I have a tendency to make fairly desaturated or monochromatic concepts so I took your crit and tried pushing the colors a bit more. It's still fairly tame but the push helped out a lot I think. Hehe, I can totally see that baby elephant climbing over the rail. It was just a blobby placeholder for a…
This will be for first a 3D exhibition of a story I wrote, and for art I already own full commercial rights to. Can provide text on request or via chat, but hope the references and the description are enough. I have a super tight deadline for the first draft of the model(this Sunday), and I'm willing to pay a premium for…
alright . this is my first post here so hello everyone now let's talk about my problem which has been bugging me since 5 hours ago .. i'm watching a tutorial on creating hair cards and things were going smoothly till i reached the part when i had to convert my splines into geometry using a free script called simple pipe ..…
Hi there, After finding my license for Paint tool SAI on an old disc, I decided to give it another go. After reinstalling it, I cannot get pressure sensitivity to work on an Intuos 4 so the program becomes pretty unusable. I got out my Intuos 3 and got the same results. With both tablets, I could use pressure sensitivity…
Hi, I'm working on a large circular stage that I've broken down to a fourth for the sake of easier modelling, and it certainly has been easier, but I feel as if it's still too large a model to be working on (considering how little variation there is, much of it can be overlapped in the UV) and I'm considering breaking it…
ok, simple question, i hope simple solution. so i'm working on a simple tf2 pillar pack (lots of different variations - model and texturewise) and rendering out a colored ambient occlusion texture. so sometimes all the bolts are visibly casting shadows and sometimes now. i got 4 variations so far. i started with one base…
I've been trying to figure out how this works, but im a bit worried my UV's might have gotten corrupted somehow and im just going round in circles, either that or im just not getting the whole workflow for multiple UV maps and have made a complete mess of things. Basically I want to have a diffuse map on UV1, and an…
