Ahhhhhh, it took a little looking, but I got what you guys are talking about! Slum > Yeah, some of the shading at the back was horrible. I'll probably just be taking your advice once I get access to the model again. Lore > Those references are kickass! A lot better than the one I was usin'. The legs are pretty messy, and I…
Woah way to long between updates, internship has kept me way to busy to make any major updates but here is some stuff. Thanks for the all the crits first, the things like the wires, stairs, vents and hand rails are all very temporary and most are just boxes or rendered splines to get the feel of the room. Anyway due to…
Clean and Clear. Thats the best thing you can aim for with a portfolio site. I would make the gun your first link though because its easily your best piece, it contains the largest amount of unique primitives and scale/ detail level contrast. The other stuff has its charms but its all the same style, someone could get to…
I'm not sure if I have a bug or not. If I don't something is really weird anyway. I'm trying to make a simple shader that uses a difference cloud map to affect a texture's UVs. I have two panners, one -1 in the U and one 1 in the U. Adding them together, then added to the texture's UV's makes the preview ball work as…
If youre not into heavy painting I really wouldnt bother with anything above a TN panel - For general desktop/gaming a TN will do just fine and will probably have a faster refresh rate... Hell, you could go for the new Samsung 120hz flatscreens for something super quick albeit slightly more expensive than most TN panels.…
What I've began to feel is that the whole school experience isn't about learning from the teachers, I mean sometimes you will get a really good instructor who will be able to open some new doors for you, however most of the actual learning is done completely on your time at the end of your fingers. I've started to feel…
No, not really. The Romans had largely slipped into a cultural decadence and malaise. They inevitably became lax in their own defense, and that's why a horde of relative barbarians were able to bring the western Empire down (the eastern half of the Roman Empire lasted until 1472 (I may be off a few years) when the Turks…
Hi there! I'm trying to bake my high to low and i'm having some issues around the suction cup thingys. The first image shows the tentacle at the tapered end of the mesh (which lacks detail, cause of less geometry.. but that's a problem for another time). The second shows the same bake but at the middle of the tentacle arm.…
Oh man... ok. So. I've always wanted to do 3-d art, and the first time I was able to was in 9th grade for my computer art class in high school. Needless to say... I cried while busting my brain at trying to figure out interfaces,tools, ect. I just ended up making really bizarre aliens because I couldn't grasp modeling…
I've been feeling a little limited with my current computer. I have been considering how soon I should upgrade. I would like to have a machine that lasts me a few years. Software wise my most demanding software is 3ds Max, Zbrush, Photoshop, etc. I also play a fair bit of games. At the moment I am looking at: Intel Core i7…
