Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
well on the subject of new, integrated displays with touch capabilities, they honestly kinda suck. I tried the all in one HP something like a year ago. You could use it in two ways : Either use plain Vista with your fingers, or use the dedicated media interface built around the tech. The first option was a pain since the… -
Re: Question to 3D artist
If you want to go the art way I'm also going to backup the thought of learning art before app. And rethinking if you need to put yourself in crippling depth. There are other ways entirely : https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/dont-go-to-art-school-138c5efd45e9 If you seriously want too, also be careful about what art school… -
Re: Max 2008 back to Max9
Newer versions of max files won't open in previous versions (usually) so the best way to get aroud that is to export as .obj. Before you do so you may want to take the time to make sure your nurms or mesh/turbosmooth and any other sub-div modifiers are off, reset your x-forms and if it's only a single object your… -
Re: Batman begins is here,yay no nipples on his suit
Always said it would be great (I have faith in Chris Bale, my favourite actor). That said, I found Cillian Murphy great as the Scarecrow but we should've known what really happened to him. I like that he didn't get killed off like all the villains in other movies, refreshing IMO. I think in an extended version we'll see… -
Re: Crappy Christmas for games...
Yeah, I'm afraid I have to stay with the Pessimistic camp. It's not really that I think the industry is doing bad, it's just that everything is bad and we're not immune to it. And I really don't see anything improving in 2011, especially not in the US. So yeah, it's probably a good idea for MS/Sony to hold off on the… -
Re: MERRY PEA DAY!
Keg: the link probably doesn't work, then. i just copied it from the address bar, and it probably works with cookies instead. It's got these books on it: -Character Animation in 3D : Use traditional drawing techniques to produce stunning CGI animation (Focal Press Visual Effects and Animation) by Steve Roberts -Muybridge's… -
Re: Orphan Works AKA death for artists
man things in the states are really going down the crapper. This is a major note of concern in a digital era as borders are blurred even more. What if you live in a country outside the US, but your images are hosted on servers in the states? Does that mean you have to register all your work? Who protects you as an… -
Re: Trying to break into the industry when not fresh out of school?
Hmm I think demonstrating versatility is the key to success, being able to adapt to almost any given challenge... eg: To show you can model high/low poly, organic/non-organic and that the shaders compliment the model/s at the accepted level so that computational requirements to render the work are not strained to a point… -
Re: An idea for a new sub-forum; please post input
"2. Do not post detailed crits on these threads and do not expect detailed crits on these threads. It's fine to post a "keep up the good work" or "you should flesh xxx out in this part" If you need detailed crits on a single piece of work, please continue to use P&P. These threads, as stated, are just like a digital… -
Re: Mass effect artistic style
Xoliul: yeah, just a post effect, you can even create the "mask" dynamically using thresholds. Would just be done on a downsampled resolve of the framebuffer. Once you create the mask by basically clamping low values (so you're only left with the high), you can do a horizontal blur like you mentioned. The trick is that…
