Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
tinman: i'm not using fx files here, these are renders using a 'blend' material. it's an extremely simple setup, using two different standard materials in each of the two slots, blending at 50%. i created the images just as prototype stuff to show to programmers. looks AWESOME eric. i want to play with that! i wonder, with… -
Re: how's the salary for artists??
The most decent wages you can expect in the US: Experience 1 year or less: 35-40k 2 years: 45-50k 3 years: 50-60k 4 years: 60-80k 5 years: 65-90k 6 years: 65-90k It starts to cap out if you don't keep advancing. But, I think you have a greater chance after 6 years to get a much sweeter deal. Some startup that has vc money… -
Re: anyone have an xbox with HDMI output?
From what I can tell the real difference becomes visible with larger displays (50 inch and above). That being said the new pioneer line boasts new contrast ratio tech which is really pushing some visible differences. Their 720p displays are outperforming many other brands 1080p displays in visible image quality. If you… -
Re: Vista Compatible?
yeah, I'm aware of driver problems in relation to hardware. I was also planning on waiting, but I've come across several awesome deals that I can't pass up ($50 for ultimate). To be honest, I figured this would be the time I would permanently switch to Ubuntu (which would screw me on 3ds Max). My current debate is to… -
Re: SciFi Support Beam
well, i think it's a little messy, but i was having fun doing so. i'll probably try another. these are screen grabs from the viewport. the first two have spec color maps and i faked a bloom effect on the red lights in photoshop. the second i darkened the diffuse map drastically to see what it would look like, and i thought… -
Re: Scott Homer - Humvee WIP.
I'm curious, what is your current texture map size? are you using multiple texture maps? Like for example are you using a separate texture map for you 50 cal right now? Also Some wires and flats would be nice. As for feedback i like the over all color and feel of the piece, but the super noisy mud/ dirt on the tire and in… -
Re: New 3D Nintendo portable announced: Nintendo 3DS
Yeah, sorry about that, eld. Europe and/or Australia always seem to get the shaft on game pricing. Granted, Japan is also getting a price point that is the equivalent of $50 higher than the North America price. If anyone here is good with economics, could you explain why the game prices for the North American market always… -
Re: German MP40 gun
Rivits and screws could be added to push up the detail level along with the changes already suggested. One other thing that concerns me is the level of grime and dirt. If this gun is for a WWII game then you have to remember that guns where made at that time and didn't come with 50+ years of grime and nastiness. In general… -
Re: 2010 Winter Olympics
agree I think a lot of stereotypes occur because people just see the extremes: garbage picking/public drunkennes and the full powow culture demo during events. When in truth a lot of aborigines have integrated into society, just minus the trad costumes. Some still keep their braids but they're not bums. Worked with a… -
Re: Forest Environment
That model looks so much better. The alpha map still has problems. Its too solid now. You can see how much better it looks with dark parts on the leaves though. The way I would do it would be create something similar to that first one you showed and then with my tablet I'd hand paint in the bits which got darkened out. If…
