poopipe left out one major factor though. I don't recall the technical term but every bullet has certain flight characteristics that will not only effect when and and at what rate it will drop, but also how much it may rise. So if you buy a box of rifle rounds, oftentimes there will be a chart on the back or the side that…
Please note that I am not upset or angry or (fill in emotional response to critique) before reading further. It would be quite unnecessary for me to go through all of your feedback point by point and illustrate how I have taken into account past feedback (it is simply not noticeable to you or perhaps many others). The only…
I think a clean model requires a couple of things. I'm definitely not an authority on this stuff, but here are things I keep in mind: The mesh should be pretty evenly distributed. Of course you want more divisions where there is detail/deformation and less where there is not, but generally speaking long triangles/quads…
WoW has a custom UI scale in the options. You can drastically reduce the size of the HUD. You can also get a mod to make your general layout customized (and even smaller). JFletcher: I find it interesting you talk about making WoW free. In fact, the ONLY reason I truly quit was because I was in a money crunch and I…
XSI was more of a program i had to learn because that's what came with Pandemic. However, in my experience with 3ds Max, Maya and XSI, XSI has proven to be the fastest modeling program. Every single function is mapped to the keyboard. Every Cut, bevel, and extrude operation is just a keystroke away and after thought rather…

Lots of research has been done on the topic of "talent" and what has been a pretty good constant when it comes to great masters in ANY field is practice and tutoring. Mozart's father was an acclaimed musical instructor, tiger woods father was a highly respected golf teacher and both were taught constantly from a very early…
After taking another look at it, I have some notes. I haven't read the other posts so I apologize if someone already beat these to death. The run/shuffle after the first jump has next to no up and down motion on the center of mass or root node. It's like he moves in a straight line and the feet shuffle under her, a bit…
damn dude- I remeber seein this guy a year or so ago, and at the time I remember thinking it was pretty booty. You`ve come a long way man, and now its looking pretty promising! Props for trying to paint this all by hand, but unless your shooting for that hand painted look, using photo ref texture overlays are always your…

It helps me get some learnin in before my next project post. Thanks, much appreciated!! Sage: Thanks man, always dug your stuff. Solid…
