I've fallen behind, too but nothing a quick google and read couldn't solve. Downsizer: Of course, if you cannibalize the trivial parts (that REALLY don't need replacing) like drives and case you can get away with 600-700$ for a gaming rig. Testing Oblivion is a bit unfair, I don't think you can get a decent framerate in…
2048 tris backface culled, Screen is at 2x 256x192px, 512kb vram hardware limit. But its more realistic to work with 384kb vram for one screen and 128kb for the other (gui stuff normaly) work with indexed 256 colour textures, go lower if possible (16 or 4 colours), you can use soft alpha but only in combination with 32 or…
Depends on your experience (the quality you can put out), and what they want to pay. I just got paid $500 for a logo, however I've heard prices ranging between $50 and $60,000. ($50 would be for amature logos that are not done in vector and the such, 60k for huge corporations and stuff).
If you haven't tried it yet, my trick is to scan wooden objects. Wood maintains it's surface quality down to a microscopic level, and if you do a high res scan (600+dpi) you can get a great texture as a base for further processing in photoshop. You can try it out with anything, kitchen cutting boards, wooden spoons. You…
Solid work for just being 16. A lot of getting better with 3D programs is just spending time using them, so you'll be leaps and bounds ahead of the pack when it comes time to search for your first job if you keep this up. Here's something I wish someone had told me at your age: if you're good, not only will you get to work…
who is cheapalert? thanks for the advice, the face itself is about 600 polys,havent really messed with the hair yet. What about the edge loops of the muscles?
Scrounge up some money and buy a ultimate gaming PC! I did that for roughly 600 Euros, you can probably get away with less by not buying that expensive a graphics cards (I got a GF6800 when they were new, I just like how much mileage you can get out of an expensive card, no need to adjust to new cards for a few years).…
I would suggest anyone seeking answers about what Nintendo are trying to pull with this new controller view the TGS Keynote (there is a link on the Nintendo site with slides, which explains more than the videos' shown elsewhere). As far as MGS goes, I don't think that the models are tesselating.. mainly given the G70…
I've pre ordered mine already, but at the actual in-store location. Paying $600 for a super bundle is stupid. I ordered the main system ($399) and Ghost Recon. I can wait awhile for everything else.
I really like all of the practical pieces you have. They show that you have worked with a game engine before, and are comfortable producing content for it. It also shows that you have experience working on team efforts. (kudos on crediting the rest of your team) I have to disagree on removing the 2D section. Any employer…
