Re: Any suggestions on staying in shape?
Great advice from everyone here. But anyway you can always find time:P, just gotta do what works for you. I usually stay home and just do 16mins a day 6 days a week(taking the 7th day off to let your muscles rest n grow i guess). Warm up stretches , 50 push-ups , Barbell squats(start off with regular squats first, and if… -
Re: What books should 3d artist read about lightning and anatomy?
Some lighting books I've been consulting for the lighting training I'm creating: * Digital Lighting and Rendering (Birn) * Placing Shadows (Chuck Gloman) - this is about real lighting for film / photography. Since our goal is to replicate real-world lighting, it makes sense to understand how real-world light sources work.… -
Re: Portfolio help. Pls
Question/Comment about education; basically states: "Home schooled from 4th-12th grade Self taught in Maya Currently working on Bachelors" Most resumes don't list elementary or high school education. Home school is also one of those things some people can be iffy about. While personally, one of my best friends home… -
Re: Boo! PR hyped designers get all the glory
Well they do mention in the intro that it is often a grey area on who gets credited with making some of the best games ever, well, some of the best games ever. You are probably in the minority there, but of course, I understand how MGS has polarised peoples opinions over the years. As much as he arsed up in recent MGS… -
Re: Armored Mech
cool! i like it. i don't know if you're just giong for a straight up cartoony look, but i've got some crits if you're not: the scratches seem too many and too uniform. they're all the same depth, too. he's all scratched up, but he does'nt have any gouges or dents, or anything like that. it would also help to throw in some… -
Re: Geri0n's Work
You should think about toning the spec down on your barrel. make it 1/4th as shiny as it is now. I would also bring the glossiness down as well. Good rule of thumb: Surfaces that are 100% smooth have the highest amount of gloss, because they reflect light perfectly. This is why polished marble reflects light so well --… -
Re: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
very interesting read here I sadly have never read the book or heard the story before, it sounds like a very inspiring childhood experience. I´m guessing that on the polarbear decision they might find the connection to santa clause SO visually striking that they can't take the risk to confuse the audience. ror, I like the… -
Re: New Guy on forums! Some Enviromental WIP's posted
Joe, spend more time learning about floating and cutting your geometry. You've expended so many polygons on tiny little details and making sure everything is watertight, that you have missed the overall realism of the rest of the prop. Spend those triangles on actual boards instead of the normal map. In fact, don't even… -
Re: silo 2 beta users:
The reason it expired is because they are releasing the new beta, hopefully tomorrow. They are issuing new keys to ease bug tracking, so they won't get reports from people using the old beta and so it doesn't remain in circulation. They mentioned this in the September 16th news post on the silo forums… -
Re: Workstation vs. consumer hardware
if you want the best bang for the buck the regular "consumer" stuff will be it. the xeons and quadro cards will run you alot more money for not that much more performance. you'd get that if money was no obstacle and you wanted the very best stuff out at the moment, but chances are 2 years from now a typical consumer…
