Im gonna be tough cuz i wanna make this concept eventually... :) First off, The Scale is getting kind of wacky. The Stations are a lot more narrow than the concept. I would widen them a lot more maybe by like x2. Your door seems wider than the concept and has less depth to it. The windows are lacking the sharp angle from…
I'd hate to go back and redo the UVs again, since it took a while to get nice, uniform unfolding, and also means recreating all the maps. Also, this thread speaks to the idea of not going too overboard wiht optimizing your UV space. But I hear where you are coming from. let's say I did revise the UVs: I suppose the…
I remember having a lot of trouble getting good ambient occlusion, curvature and thickness bakes from xNormal few years ago, because it had so many settings and it was VERY slow with CPU, even with 512x512 resolution.. but nowadays Marmoset's baker solves everything for me, and it gives tons of bakeable maps. I can bake AO…
Ok, this is so much better that I'm gonna give myself a treat..... *^^* LODs are handmade to ensure a reduction in polygons only where it doesnt cause a discrepancy between near and distant bundles; even the transition is barely visible, and only if you focus on it. =) Performance modes... (Dont mind the FPS in "lit mode",…
This is so incredible! Your painting style is gorgeous. I have a few suggestions, but they're super nitpicky! They're mostly about the mountains The angles of the mountains are all very similar. I would maybe add more variety in them? They all seem about 90* to like... 110*. I would vary these a little more, just to give…
Err, I spent a summer in Hisperia CA, and grew up in the valley.. 108 meant it was a cool day. I saw on the news you Portland folks got a little warm the past week or so. You'll be fine. I just use fans and drink tons of water. I also sat in boxers while in the house. I also had a deep freezer, and I'd freeze blocks of ice…
> It's three days before CES's grand opening, and I've discovered some very serious problems with the machine. I turned on the machine earlier this week, but have only managed to get the power LED and the two fans to run. Everything else, (the drives, and I/O ports, etc.) is apparently dead. The power adapter I'm using…
Oh no if i had the time, would be glad to do all the changes and tips from the poeple mentioned. Unfortunately i have to wrote my thesis and got to learn all the stuff from the beginning. I never modeled , textured, rigged and animated a complete char. Also i have to code a xna application AND a m3g application. Beside…
if you're looking to save a bit of money, I'd go with a LGA 1156 setup instead. The i7/LGA1366's are just out the door and way overpriced. It's always tempting to get the new and fastest, but it's rarely worth the cost. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't see a big difference. MSI P55M-GD45 LGA 1156 Intel P55 $110 Intel Core…
I wanted to build a first person weapon for my portfolio but also do something that would stand out a little. The idea is inspired by the kinds of things kids draw in their notebooks in school, and also battlebots (but with people!). Also, if you ever saw that Simpsons episode where Bart and Lisa are swinging their arms…
