[First off I'd like to say that I really goofed up with my previous post of the maquette pick; I said I had planned on using a Zsphere armature to quickly put together a reference model, but I made some mistakes that made it unusable, which I would like to illustrate so that others don't make the same mistake! 1. When…
i would first start by turning the texture off and the smooth off. I know it seems like it looks better, but it makes it harder for us to tell exactly what's going on. Also, you want to see what the actual model looks like, not what the subdivided model would look like. You can turn on "smooth edges," just not "display…
This feels like a deceptive argument to make. When you have something like camera controls which have three different types of movements involved (rotate, translate, and scale), then you're going to wind up with 3 different combinations. If one of those three combinations does not involve a "3-step" operation then you're…
In my mid 20s I said fuck this an got off my ass and did the gym thing full on. I got a trainer and he basically showed me all the groups and all the different ways to work them. It was the best thing I ever did. I only needed him for a few sessions and then I was good on my own. After a while I got pretty addicted to it.…
If you want bang for your buck, it wont be too easy to find a laptop with the same features for a less price then a dell machine. I know here in Australia you can't buy Dell machines in computer stores and I think its similar worldwide; you have to purchase them off the internet. For this reason when someone goes into a…
Great work overall so far! I love the mood of the piece, and the old beat up feeling of the desk! I agree with Cobra on the blue/yellow lighting being a bit jarring. I personally am a huge fan of warm/cool lighting set-ups, but I personally think it works better when they aren't battling each other. That being said, the…
I'm finding this discussion more than a little troubling. The overarching theme of the Extra Credits series is that games can be more than what they are now and they we as game developers should strive to move the medium forward. I think people are missing the point of this particular episode. While they single out EA as a…
That's just part of the 2k sale (all games 33% off) and has been that price the whole time. I am hoping for a one day only 75% off dealie like they keep doing with other awesome games. But really, at this point I am satisfied enough with all the sales there has been. I owe some developer a full price purchase by now.:) I…
Polygons are just numbers in a portfolio, and only if you decide to show them off. What counts is what looks good and shows competence. If your characer is movie grade and rendered over 8 hours in arnold, whatever. The result counts. Show what you can pull off, and let the companies give you constraints later. If you…
ok... So if i understand correctly, the Example file you guys supplied to demonstrate what ddo can do out of the box has custom curvature map you plugged which you didn't include in the source as part of the package? And is the key map to get the look you are showing off as an example? Cool! So i scavenged the forums after…
