Re: Industrial SciFi Environment (WIP)
You seem to have progressed through this at a quick pace which is impressive. I really wish I was more technically inclined because when I look at your latest screenshots, there are things that are.. off.. but I have trouble explaining why, but I'm going to try The things that bug me are: - There's something really weird… -
Re: Getting into game animation... what path to follow?
That is probably the single most infuriating thing about biped, but still somewhat minor and can be worked around. The only thing that is weird about them is the naming otherwise they behave just like every other IK system out there, albeit in a much more streamlined fashion that reduces rig clutter. So far I have seen two… -
Re: Struggling with creativity?
Working from home is actually very challenging. Last April of 2013, I took a remote contract job working from home and at first, I was on cloud nine man. I got to leave the job that I was at for 5 years, that I was totally burned out on...to do something that I absolutely love to do, from home...in my underwear! But this… -
Re: To any Aussies who got jobs in the US games industry, can you tell me how you did it?
Degree. you get a temporal green card if you marry a citizen, and there needs to be prove that you are not marrying just to get it. You can't become a citizen until you have 3 years of marriage... and that is kinda lame to consider. Marrying someone should not have anything to do with your status as an alien. Enrolling in… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
Sounds to me you're more a victim of poor security practices than flaws in the OS. I do regular scans of my PC. In fact 99% of viruses are the user's fault. All operating systems include adequate tools to help you secure your system, but people just don't utilize them and install risky apps and browser plugins. I don't… -
Re: How to put a price on your work
There have been a few threads on this indeed (a lot of which I haven't read). The answer is really pretty obvious: you'll want to charge enough to be able to pay your bills, and in the end maybe even make a little extra, rather than operating at a loss. For instance, you could calculate and/or estimate your annual… -
Re: New keylogger/spamthingy/trojan
The tool Pea linked above got rid of it, a bunch of other scanners could see parts of it and my tinkering in safe mode did some good but we couldn't find the root of the problem. Long version: Last weekend I was wandering around the net when Spysweeper (that I like so much I actually paid for) went absolutely bonkers,… -
Re: Digital Video Recording, External Solution
Here's a sample of DV-recorded-then-compressed video. Works otay. http://www.whatif-productions.com/video.htm (not the Gobbler one tho, that's pre-rendered) One of the Discreet demo guys told me how they compress their 3ds Max vids, which look pretty good. Might be worth a re-examination of the TechSmith route, at least… -
Re: Order1886 UV Cuts
As a personal sculpting philosophy: ( personal hell ) http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=754084 Eyes r hardly the only compression area of concern... I sculpt for inspiration/charming volume ( interest = talent ) With compression complexity/real estate concerns in mind ( in addition to the mountain of other… -
Re: Gears of War 3 - Environment Art
Can't hide from the center anymore, but I have some forms below that inspire me to NOT deform the clean forms into skewed elastic ones. So I add some edging, detail the center a little and throw in some eye piece cylinders I had from a kitbash layer. I also knock out a ceiling piece, nothing too fancy other than the clean…
