Yeah i tried that last time with the Nvidia dedicated gpu set to run photoshop and 3do, same problem. Also, photoshop and 3do and Ddo had administrator mode enabled. So heres a video showing the darkening mask issue. It happening twice within a minute or two of loading a new project and changing masks. I didn't do anything…
Yeah i understand its just a student project, and i think it looks visually great.. If that was your goal, you have def. suceeded! My only concern was the optimization factor. If you where looking to get a job doing mobile games or such, constructing your environment this way might not be effecient. Having more than 2…
Hey t4paN. The first thing about sculpting in smaller scales is that the size of the finished object will probably dictate the material that you use. Anything from 1/9th above the I would use Chavant, usually medium. anything 1/9th or below then a polymer mix, sculpey, sculpey extra firm, and fimo. for anything 54mm and…
I was going to write about injunctions earlier, but figured no one would care :) Since it's now come up... Whether Activision wins or loses in the long run, the IW guys can really stick it to them by dragging out this situation as long as possible. Since approval of all post-Vietnam era CoD content was granted to West and…
The problem with WW1, is that it had very ineffective leadership at the top. The trench warfare was a lack of any sort of creativity or initiative on the part of the Generals, most of whom had little combat experience, as the last European war had been in the 1870's, 40 years previously. Colonial Officers who had more…

Cost of flatbed for Pathfinder and Uhaul trailer. $215.00 Cost to fix destroyed clutch, sensor, and fork. $835.00 Hotel for night because car will need to stay overnight until done. $64.00 So yeah thats over $1,000 and I…
I personally think all these companies need to be reigned in through worker organization. If you have a say in how these social media conduct clauses are made, then all the better. If there's a mediator and companies are obligated to prove good cause for termination, that's good too. That takes real political action though…
The Staffordshire course is genuinely pretty reasonable - but at the end of the day, a degree in games is pretty much useless. Degrees do not get you jobs in games, portfolios do. My advice is simple: 1) If you are capable of self-learning, there are much better ways than spending 3-4 years at University and racking up…
Hey in general it seems there's some good info. I would clarify some parts a bit though: -When you explain specular, make very clear it's one of 2 workflows, the other being metallic. Things are very different between them in some areas, and people could get confused if you don't make it super obvious which one you are…
Currently I have a rotating schedule of 4 projects going on. I have a full time job, so on weekdays I can onely manage around 3-5 hours of art related work on week days. However I work all day and often pull long nights and sleep less on weekends. In a week on average I do around 40-50 hours a week, depending on days off…
