[ QUOTE ] A round (of applause) to Steve. He's the first one to spell GuinNess correcly. [/ QUOTE ] You're mistaken. But it's all good. This thread is giving me the urge for a pint as well. [ QUOTE ] weak beer might just be the best thing for them. [/ QUOTE ] Good point. Never thought of it that way. But, it doesn't stop…
I went out to my local 24 hour Walmart, but they said they only got 27 units in, and they were all reserved as of noon. People were still lined up outside, but they said they're not getting any more in until probably after Christmas. Same at the nearest Gamestop, according to the sign they had posted. I'm totally buying…
As I understand it, badges and ranks are awarded after you visit Polycount and log in. It doesn't matter which device you do this on. As long as you come back on a device that isn't blocking things. Could be a PC, a phone, an internet TV, whatever. If you are currently on Polycount and your account increments from 24 +'s…
Thanks everyone! MosesTheCGArtist , it all depends, in my experience the amount of tessellation the mesh has from the beginning and the size of the object too I believe factor in when it comes to how much you have yo pump up the tessellation multiplier. 24 was just something I put in since I had troubles with the building…
If you like tablets, that's totally fine. It's what I use. Since I only do some light texturing sometimes. I'm willing to bet though if you tried a 22, 24, or 27 inch Cintiq you'd be thinking differently. They are much less cramped and the resolution is higher. I know a lot of artists that were very uncomfortable with the…
@Ratchlar These took 16 - 24 hours each. I start with a base mesh in maya and then import it into zbrush. I use zbrush to make a rough model that I then retopo. For simple designs it's sometimes faster to just do it all in maya, but for complex stuff like skulls it's faster to use zbrush. I don't do any details or…

Im only 17. heres where I am with character art in general: http://frell262.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4iu986…
So I did some tests to see if I could figure out how many lights I want to use. I took a series of pictures with a light handheld at roughly 8 intervals around the camera and at 4 different elevations. The first image with 16 shots, Below with 24 And finally 32 All the images include the highest elevation which might be…
My first piece of advice would be have your portfolio linked on here, this way everyone can see your work and give you advice based on your work. As per your question about art tests, if you were to receive more then one art test. Most companies can be flexible for the dates. Meaning if you were to receive an art test…
Bitcoin is on a deathroll and it's taking other altcoins with it. Hope the miners will stop buying large numbers of gpu's at inflated price now. They are the main reason of low stocks and high price due to bulk buys. Market should be flooded with used gpu's if bitcoin goes down even more. Buy mining GPU's only at 1/3 of…
