The way I did mine, I didn't use any alpha, I just used seperate strip per finger. And who said anything about lighting? or a game engine at all? This is most likely going to be displayed at full bright, with all lighting coming from the texture, and it's also definately for a fun personal project. I can't speak for…
hey guys, thx for the comments steakhouse - i am actually considering the idea of a protective shell/plate for the "thigh" of the rear leg. We'll see what i come up with. I actually want to build some sort of "believeable" machine and I hate adding details where they dont mean anything at all( ie, what some people think of…
Hey everyone, New Project I'm starting today, I've been on and off doing some contract work and doing small props/speedsculpts in between, so I think It's about time I jump into another Environment. With all the excitement about Fallout 4 I've had this idea brewing in my head for a while. What I'm aiming for, is an NCR…
I've always been fascinated by the universal character and symbolism for The Beast, which comes in a variety of different forms. A very misunderstood character hated and feared by many indeed, but with a big heart, an outcast. Growing up, I've always been a loner whom avoided people. I was always that outcast who would…

Hey Dusty, I've tried reading through all of the comments and I wanted to touch upon things from your original post that haven't quite been hit yet. Maybe I can help quell some of your fears. Apologies if some of this has been said already. I first wouldn't worry too much about age, the industry is ageist but it's also…
I had my differences originally with Rorschach. Mostly just on silly things like life outlooks. I got to know him better in Google Meetups when those were still a thing. I really enjoyed when he came on. He just had this down to earth nature to him. He will be missed, and I think to more than a few Polycount and/or Epic…
By all means! :) I know you're probably not directing your comments solely at me because this is admittedly a pet peeve of yours, so I'll avoid taking it personal - but I will toss in a few more remarks. I decided on my career path because I enjoy creating worlds and felt that I had a future in it. I didn't do it because I…
