Damn dude. I just got done with college, but there was this one kid as a gamedev major who was there everyday, and managed to drink 4L of mountain dew and pepsi everyday (or at least when I saw him). Surprised he isn't dead. my worst habit here at my workstation is just leaving a mess. I tend to have a bunch of half…
I just have to throw it out there that a mate and I pushed UDK to half a billion Tri before it crashed (Bottomed out at 1.24 frames per second, then crashed entirely) and about 40 million Tri before we started getting a significant frame dropping (Below 50 fps)... So to say 1k tri, is a mass understatement. Hahaha. :P On…

I have some textures over at the3dstudio.com. I get sales there every now and then but I only have a few things up there and I don't really market my stuff... the3dstudio.com takes 40% and they are non-exclusive. You are fine to sell elsewhere. The unity asset store is probably also a good place to sell, however I have not…
Just got the mischievous ricky gervais eyes. Anyway some people don't like to acknowledge it, but realism is the standard by which we judge something to be good or bad. That armor you made would look more impressive on a realistic looking figure. Just grab some reference from a site like this for example, sculpt a more…
[ QUOTE ] ban guns! I mean, making pot illegal sure worked. nobody smokes that anymore... [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, but you can't grow a gun by planting bullets. I can go to my local Wal-Mart and get everything I need to start a pot farm in my garage for under $40, but manufacturing firearms is a bit more involved. And the "guns…
I tried out the spline IK solver for controlling the whole chute and it works well, but I have a tiny problem. I have to create a spline IK chain for each connector piece so that they flex with the chute, problem is that I can't seem to clone it. Is there a way to do it without messing things up? Creating each IK chain…
ever converted hundreds and hundreds of pages of html code over to wiki code, checked thousands of links and emails, organized it all and uploaded the whole thing to the web with very few volunteers, who when they can help are also working 40+hrs a week, have families and try to have a social life all the while people are…
I just bought a GTX 285 and while it is an awesome card (both gaming and 3D work... also PS is GPU accelerated if you're running CS4) it is also huuuuuge. Huge to the point you can't get a HDD in the front of a Midi Case at the same level lengthways, and you won't be using any PCI slots either side of it due to the depth.…
I think the most important part of 2d skills is just being able to show what you're thinking. It's a tool that will really help when it comes to pre-vis. On top of that, you should probably understand Color Theory pretty well. Just be able to put on to paper what you're visualizing in your head. I think that should be…
