Hey Ben, I think the lay out is really good but i feel there is alot more work that needs to be done, but that's the joy of art isn't it, nothing is ever done : Here are some thoughts just off the top of my head, and I'll break down your pieces individually. I feel you really need to push your material properties What is…
First off, you have my sincere sympathy. Being cheated on is never fun, but to go to the lengths you did for this girl and have it happen is just terrible. What Xoliul said is pretty spot on. But that's not to say you did anything wrong, it's just that type of behavior can lead people taking advantage of a situation once…
It really depends on what version you're using. max 9 and lower: - Disable autosave. It had several issues with stability and it also would clear out the undo list. It was fixed in newer releases 2008 SP2 or it was in with the creative extensions, I think. Don't crank up the number of undos, and don't crank back in the…
I love it. I have wood... They added a bunch of new features. Most of them so common sense I don't know why they aren't in the main modeling software packages. Maybe Autodesk will take notes and features like this, doubt it, they seam to like half baked, slow ideas that almost become useful. Things I like: - I really like…
my figuer drawing teacher always hammers down how important it is to actually understand what it is you are drawing rather just copying the outline and rendering it most students would spend 3 hours copying the figuer, filling in with some nice rendering, fixing the lines a little more.. and ye, at the end you have…
Are you texturing at a higher resolution, then making them smaller for your final work? I know some people would disagree with this method, but I think it can help get you to add detail you otherwise wouldn't on a smaller texture. Honestly, when I have a 256 texture, I'll go as high as 1024 to texture it, and then crunch…
PS3 sounds awesome and with Devil May Cry 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 im sure i'll be buying one ______________________________________________________ Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also…
While I do agree with some of the things said in this thread and all games courses have their share of problems, there are some positives. I'm currently on my first year of games design at Northumbria University. While I am not learning anything I haven't already knew, for a vast amount of people this is a first contact…
Talon: You ought to check out the rest of the James Cagney series in the 20's and 30's and any other Noir from that period onwards through to the Bogart stuff. Looking at what you have watched so far you should put the Asphalt Jungle up to the top of your list, its clearest here where Tarantino originally got his…
by the sound of it your teacher neither inspires much confidence nor does seem to be really teaching all that effectively... but that's just the impression i'm getting first off, the lizard-riding concepts: i like the original color one the best, but i think that's because it's the most 'together' and conceptually…
