Re: W.I.P. Female Character
Hey thanks for taking the time to stop by. On the original sculpt I rarely looked at references and if I did it was obviously in not too much detail. I gathered some references to use, but its meant to be realistic, if not about 1.5 in a scale of 1-10, 1 being exact human replica 10 being completely cartoon/ stylised My… -
Re: reboot cycles with blue screen
downloading knoppix now I think my university is blocking utorrent because I'm only getting 1 kb down. Started out at like 300 kb and I was pleased but now it's slowed way the heck down. Most likely to get this done over the weekend when I can be on a strong wireless connection. Gonna run home now and savage parts from a… -
Re: Advance Normal Mapping in XSI
hey guys, its me again. Over this xmas break i got a chance to sit down and try things out. I still cannot bake the normal maps as easy as i do in max. Are there any examples some where? I watched some digital tutor training, they were kinda useful. Yet they left me hanging as they combined their high poly into one object… -
Re: Selling digital assets as main income?
Imo it's very hard to make a living from selling assets :smile: 1- Piracy is everywhere. Everything ends up on cgpeers which sucks big time for content creator 2- There are already a TON of completely free assets everywhere. You know ''freebies''! 3- It takes a lot of skill to make a finished product that is sellable. Want… -
Re: Symmetry and Bevel questions in max
Hey guys thanks for all the replies! As someone mentioned in this thread, the best solution for me is to use a dummy object, and then while in local transformation use the align tool to the dummy obj. I'm still sad about max's bevel/extrude/inset tools though. I tried to scale everything up and reset scale, but max still… -
Re: Building a workstation for home, need input
OMG SSD YES At home on my workstation I have a 4x 30gb SSD stripe (got them for $100 each off ebay), with a traditional platter drive for backup (more reliable) storage. The SSD stripe makes for INSANE performance with a multi core processor - as an example I can click my 3ds max icon, and max is open and ready to go… -
Re: In search of a 3D Modeller for machinima work...
Thanks again aesir Yes, I'll put it into bullet points of course. Animation would be required yes so I'll edit the original post. You can retrieve the actual player models from the game directory as far as I know. Scene 1 (Not in a game map) - Small Square room with a closed door on one end - Rectangular table, capable of… -
Re: New Computer time!
EQ: There is one area I didnt see addressed with the arguement about cases. Material. I looked at both your cases, and neither are good. Both use SECC (Ie Steel). Not aluminum. Aluminum has two benefits. 1. Dissipates heat much easier. Which could mean the difference from an early failed component or not. And energy draw… -
Re: Blizzard Annouces one of the two races for WoW
[ QUOTE ] can you tell i play a mage on a pvp server? hehe [/ QUOTE ] Lemme guess: Alliance? As a shammy the only classes that I can fairly consistently "pwn" are: Hunters, Warlocks, and Druids - in that order. Warriors, Pallys and Rogues 3+ levels beneath me have bested me 1 on 1. Particularly if they get the initiative… -
Re: Why so blue?
Just to touch on some of this compression stuff a bit more, so we've come to the conclusion that using a greyscale spec, either in the alpha or as a separate image doesnt actually save you any memory. So why would anyone want to do it? Well there are a couple reasons: 1. In terms of performance, grabing a texture from the…
