Re: Jobs : WTF, seriously.
With resumes, you need to keep them short and punchy. Bullet point everything. Make sure the most important words are near the front of each sentence. One of the secrets of resumes is to start off with a nice generic one, that is targeted toward the general industry you want to go for. This is the one you will put up on… -
Re: 3dsmax poly modelling workflow questions
My only issues are with the weld tools. I'm sure it is because I am coming from Edit-Mesh land where I select two verts and as long as they are in the specified range they weld. It seems that E-Poly won't weld (sometimes) across a "Border". Normally this happens after I merge two objects together like a cylnder(arm) to the… -
Re: EA Layoffs, hope everyone will find something again
^ ^ ^ Close. It has a lot to do with over-projecting their numbers, not hitting the ridiculous target, then justifying to the stock holders what it is that went wrong (it's why these EA layoffs tend to hit after the quarterly fiscal earnings reports.... most notably before Christmas). Then some mumbo jumbo about… -
Re: Who Works On A Laptop / Recommendations?
Yeah, my HP is a 17" and the battery life is shit on it. But, when I bought it, I knew I was basically using it as a portable computer. I only use it to keep my work consistant between home, work, and school, so I'd always be somewhere where I could plug it in. When I'm at home, I rarely use my desktop anymore. The 17" is… -
Re: Current Gen Rigging
at work, i am the rigger/character td for our team. our specs are 24 bones per piece(a model can be broken up into many pieces. though usually, each piece has a corresponding texture sheet.) we can go up to 127 bones per piece, but those pieces wont be able to cast shadows. we dont have the ability though to do faces with… -
Re: Creating A Perfect Hole In A Cylinder?
I have a method but it may not be the best way- it's a kind of "fake" boolean I suppose- create another cylinder at 90 degrees so it intersects where you want to put the hole. Delete all the faces except one circular end cap, then use orthographic views to move its vertices forward and backwards to line up with the curve… -
Re: Windows Vista
I don't mind Vista. It does seem like a few things are slowed down, and I'm still waiting for a few companies to provide Vista supported software/drivers. What I typically recommend to people is, don't spend the money on Vista, but if it's coming prepackaged with a new PC, then use it. I've had several people talk to me… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
I like it =) When he tosses the guy he kind of pulls him over his back, but when you do that toss you get your legs into it and try to launch the guy up and over you using your back and your legs. [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgUBJsjiisM[/ame] +55 he breaks it down really well. Also the punch doesn't seem to carry… -
Re: detail shmetail
So, okay, summary of thread; random noisy detail = bad, properly applied details for whatever your project's artistic direction is = good, whee. Now that we've passed gradeschool art class, cats? To sound less like a troll: There's always value in minimizing detail, yeah. Even Call of Duty 4, lauded for its… -
Re: female heads suck -_-
I strongly recommend using photo reference of a single person. For instance, when you're in a life drawing session, there aren't several models that you choose bits and pieces from. You focus on that subject for several hours and render them to the best of your abilities. In the process, you develop an eye for generic…
