I look at it like this you spend around 1500 on a Intro to Black an White Photography class And you get learn this, how you a 35mm manual camera correctly what the different combinations of fstops and shutter speed do to the picture you are take. how to develop you negative properly how to print archival photographs how to…
<font color="yellow"> *Update* </font> Phew... So... I got most of my room somewhat first pass textured, but I'm taking a step back and actually taking time to do some paintovers to get the coloring right. (The first pass texturing didn't turn out too good...) Making textures only for testing purposes is well enough, but…
wisebrownmonkey : I'm not quite sure which direction I want to take the textures yet. I know I don't want them all hardcore grimy, but I also don't want it looking like it just came off the workbench. I think I'm probably going for a used but not completely old and battered look. In case I gave the impression that I was…
ah Common Poop, give me a break man. You're watching ONE SINGLE thought process that I'm using in ONE context and making this massive generalization that i use that process in EVERYTHING that i do. you don't like it because it smells like bullshit that you've heard before from people who use that process out of context..…
Oh and one thing i forgot to say yesterday: Mobo more expensive than CPU, whats the reason for this? I know LGA1366 boards still arent cheap, but i can't imagine what you get out of this board that you wouldn't get with a $150-180 board? Is this one of those extreme overclocking boards or something? In which case, since…
thanks for crits. @ Eraserhead - yes I agree that logically it would be rather absent or completely present in those areas. I just had some refs where it was done the way i did, but I will remove it from skirt areas. @ Johny , Vig - well, thanks to mipmapping the pattern will not bother from the distance. Afterall it is…
Great stuff. The city flythrough is by far your best piece and as others have stated the camera could use some work. Why not just fraps a runthrough? Ditch the camera and just run around your environment. It doesn't seem like your camera deviated from eye level anyway... I'd ditch all your props but the hammer and the…
Most of the shit that people who want to "save the environment" do is massively wasteful. Like buying stuff made locally, or organic food made on small farms. Cheap food is cheap because it uses fewer resources. want to save the planet? Eat ramen and bean burritos from Taco Bell. telecommute, or better yet, commit suicide.…
Hehe yup totally the VS debates indeed stink! For me tho I know that choosing a program over another it is all related to (apparently relatively) small things, but if I don't have them I go nuts. First thing being, interaction with what I am working on! This is my biggest complain about Z, and it comes down to 3 things :…
Country, and Rap. Neither should be followed by the word music. Country today is basically repetitive Pop with cowboy hats and Ford trucks. Pop meaning, prepackaged by the music industry to make a huge profit. I'll actually give some credit to the Dixie Chicks for being talented and writing lyrics that don't closely follow…
