This update consists mostly of continuing to clean up meshes, adding details, and optimizing light maps as I go. I designed my logo and got it in as a decal, filled up the trophy case, and added some hanging varsity championship year banners above them to really help the space feel like it's part of a school. Adding a mesh…
Thanks for the reply! At the moment I've just emailed a bunch of YouTubers and other small companies who might want a simple intro animation or a 3D company logo. I'll diffidently bring up that I'm a 3D artist more often at public gatherings. As for the degree, I want to move into professional animation at any studio I…
Erm, I dunno if I had a bug or what, but you still get the indicator... The difference is that on normal, you get all four icons appear with three greyed out except for the button as well as the little icon above the enemy head... But on the hardest mode you never got the logo over the head or the three grey icons, instead…
Hi and thanks for the feedback. I use my real name, it is in the "About" section. But i was thinking since the beggining if i should use my real name everywhere and put a logo with my nickname or not... i also was thinking to brand my images, but i thought that would be useless because i can't make the images…
Thanks for all the comments, and the cat woman pic. Here he is posed, with his guns, logo and color alteration. I'm starting a new semester of classes so I don't know when ill have time to do his sword, but i want to try him in a couple different poses before putting him in my portfolio. Any suggestions? (oh and i notice…
The envo looks nice, but I think the title and program logos etc takes up way too much space right now. All text should probably be half the size it currently is. And I don't really feel that you need a title at all. Everyone can see that it's ruins, no need to take up precious screen space stating the obvious. That's just…
I've noticed some other app logos in the images but cant find much of an explanation about how mega scans is working in conjunction with other application's although i'm quite out of the loop. I just thought mega scans was pretty much just a library of materials for DDo. How does this work with Modo? Can just import…
I think that an efficient way to go a this would be to use objects that are already "stop motion friendly" instead of building complex characters from scratch. Think of the Pixar logo and Toy Story in general - the reason why it all works so well is because these works breath life into usually static objects. I tried it…
I did use crazybump, good call. I took the baked normal map from max into crazybump to increase the intensity of the map. In the end, I did overlay a small piece of the diffuse map that I converted to normal map to get some more detail from my normal. The 'xm8' logo section was converted into a normal map, then overlayed…
Try to make sure the graphics card works properly with the mobo. There were some issues with 400/500 series cards which could not be fixed with drivers: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=187401 I hope you can make it with that budget. I'm in the same boat, I'll just keep saving for some months to buy newer stuff…
