Hey everyone! Long time reader first time poster here. Getting pretty close to graduation, so I figured I need to get more involved with the community. This is a scene I did a few months ago and I'm looking to add it to my portfolio. I've gotten great critiques from a few people, so now I want to know what you guys think…
Remove the sound card because you should have one in your motherboard. Motherboard is way over what you should need. Look for a cheaper one that is compatible. Downgrade the CPU to something like Intel Core i7-4790K the cpu currently you have selected is much more than you will need. You may want to use stock cooler if you…
Notman - it's only like 4 days in the future! :P Neo - everything came up to just under $2200. Since Conroe's are still hard to come by, I'm also paying a slight premium (about $100 extra). The expensive mobo ($260) was from lack of options. It's the only Conroe-compatible mobo to have pci-e x16 SLI support. I could have…
actually this tbird 950mhz runs everything i run (THAT RUNS, including doom3 at 1024x768x32 on high) on it fine. I've completed modern games on this and I don't want notebooks as they tend to wear out easily for me. Bad thing is getting a upgrade now means a big chain reaction of upgrades especially for the AGP-scrapped…
I'm working with thebamboobear on this game, and when thinking of doing the plants using alpha masking or just more polys (Considering the game is for iOS/Mobile), I did some research and bumped into this thread: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/762522-Do-transparent-textures-work-on-mobile From Autodesk's talk on…
Hello So here is my 2 cents for what it is worth (not much). The low geo looks good the material treatment does look flat and artificial what I would consider is adding grime and stains using a combination of clearly evident staining on the diffuse map and the not so evident grimes and stains on a color spec map. Adding…
Well I won't debate you on that, and I wouldn't consider pot smoking or forced green living as progressive either, in fact some of the forced hippie bullshit is the exact opposite of forward thinking. One big con about Seattle itself is that the planning that went into the layout is complete crap, probably for various…
I don't own any firearms myself, but my parents do, and I've done plenty of target shooting. Why do you want to buy a gun? Protection? Target shooting? Hunting? If you just want something to take out to the range, .22s are always nice (cheap ammo), but if you feel you need a firearm for protection then a larger caliber…
Great job Brians, I have totally missed this thread up until now. I fully agree with Sebeuroc on all the points. I would also like to add some points as well. -I think you should add more geo to smooth out his silhuette. His fingers look really low poly and his shoulders and arms look a bit blocky. - The folds on the arm…
The soldier is finally done! A lot of work has
been put into the textures and the details. Everything was done in Substance Painter,
baking my highpoly mesh made in Zbrush. Since the character was done during an assignment
at school, I have focused on a specific style for the textures. However when I integrated
it in…
