@HP: thank you taking the time to post comments and critics... but for god sake please read lol....i said... like 2 times in that thread that i DIDNT work on normal / spec yet... that being said, i totally agree with the leakingi was about to add some. I looked a lot at fire hydrant references pictures but those are…
Looks like surface mounted mini-USB ports. If your going to try and re-solder these your self then you should unscrew your tablet and check the damage on the PCB. When surface mounted ports like this get ripped off, they can have a nasty habit of pulling up the metal tracks on the circuit board with them. But if the break…
hey sorry for the late answer - these links don't work for me for some reason. if you're talking about really deep potholes and hitting them at at least moderate speed, a suspension fork might make the difference between staying on the bike or kissing the tarmac and/or damaging your wheels. you should try cross bikes for a…
Although there are some old tales where they are the same, the general theme has it that the original blade *sword in the stone* was damaged in battle and merlin was afraid that Arthur would be hurt so he found a blade that could protect him. The scabbard actually is what would prevent him from "bleeding" I think. But the…
Looks good already, material definition is fine. Try to scratch the edges and make them stand out a bit more even if you are going for a very clean texture, this usually helps a lot to understand the shape of the model. Regarding to what I am used to see and I like, I would personally make a more damaged texture for this…
Everyday I think to myself how much mental damage have I put myself through having to stare at a screen all day. The entire premise of being a 3D Artist is sitting put at a stationary computer for hours on end with the next day requiring the exact same activity. Health always seemed like something that was going to be…
Before you continue texturing, I think you should go back to your sculpt and make just a couple slight changes. First the blade is ridiculously clean. You've stylized the dragon head and handle so much, yet the blade seems to have no love. Get in there with Trim Dynamic, Clay Tubes, and if you have it Orb's crack brush or…
Tobbo - thanks for the advice, I am planning on doing a glowmap for the front top, as well as the screen to demonstrate the effects of the machine being on. Macattackk - I think that would be an awesome idea, if i wasn't on a deadline for this machine! Praetus - honestly, I appreciate the honesty. I completely agree in…
Thanks ArchNacho, Are you sure it's not working? Did you switch to hardware texture mode (6)? Although even if you hadn't tried hardware texture mode it should at least be green. I get the same warnings as well, not the very first time I load it. But if I press reload or manually reload a new .cgfx file in it's slot I get…
an alternative power supply might be nuclear, fusion is always a good diet for a tank this size. also, it would then be steam powered, so hissing componants and escaping steam are a useful addition. high powered steam also produces immense amounts of electrical power, so speed and energy can be a good method of not being…
