Re: UDK vs CryEngine (latest versions)
I map my normal alt mapped mouse button to U in my mouse control panel for Unreal. Awesome when programs support a Maya alt navigation strategy! Which is just about every application nowadys. In the newest GDC video on the Area they expose HIK usage in Unreal, looks pretty neat. Sort of hard to wrap my head around the… -
Re: [WIP] Pyromancer
Quick update. Playing with colors and materials. Switching out the awkward boot feet for bare feet. That will help balance colors/materials a bit and I'm already digging the change. I'll have textures baked for the feet at some point soon. I'm also thinking about wrapping some cloth around the shin gaurds/ex boots to bring… -
Re: Hard Drive Rescue
This sounds nuts, but have you tried putting it in the freezer? I had a laptop HDD do the same thing. Grinding noise followed by not being able to access it. I wrapped it in a little plastic bag, put it in the freezer for about 45 mins, then stuck it in my laptop and it worked for about 8 minutes or so, enough time to grab… -
Re: WIP: Prop art - Old sofa
Thanks for the comment MeshMagnet! I had considered this, and thought that they would slouch in between the cushions, so I made indents there instead. I always find that older sofas sag more, and therefore you're more likely to sink into the middle. Yeah I reckon it'd create quite a nice contrast to have a sweet wooden… -

Re: [Portfolio] - Chris de Joya, Concept Artist
W00t! Sorry, no full images yet. Could you guys on Opera check the layout again? I added line breaks every third image, it should wrap properly now. I was counting on the folks at Wordpress to at least check that their templates are cross browser friendly. :( And yeah the concept art page is a bit long. I suppose the… -
Re: putting down the mouse
wrapping up your confidence in something that is not under your direct control is dangerous. For instance...getting a job in this business. If working in games has taught me anything it's that there are 'many many many' reasons why an artist gets passed up for a job. Most of the reasons are completeky out of the artists'… -
Re: anatomy study WIP
Clavicle is too thin (it is a load bearing bone that is usually bigger around than your biggest finger) and is curved strangely, shoulders are pulled high and in a little far, the horizontal crease between pec groups is a bit extreeme, yeah check the hips and legs. The way you have wrapped some of your edges is great. This… -
Re: external USB HD failure
Typically the external harddrives are just basic hard drives wrapped in an enclosure. Take it out of the enclosure and throw it into a computer. If it still works, you can get a new enclosure rather cheaply. Most likely, you broke the circuit board that provides the IDE controller. If it's a small usb HD, then it may be a… -
