"It's hard to think of many animated characters that are super original. Most evolve from previous characters." The last two principles are distinction and originality. A character must stick boldly out of the water, or else sink into the depths of irrelevance! Whilst Japan's famous 'Anime' art styles have grown ever more…
Hey man, welcome to the board. Really cool to see another Hi-Rez guy on here and I gotta say that I've been following your stuff via facebook for a long time. You're honestly a way better character guy than me but I can point out a few things that I see in a lot of your pieces that I think would push your stuff to the next…
HOLY MOLY now its working flawless. So okay since i don´t want to just shout out as i said earlier, here is what i found out : If some of the textures are not used as it should like the albedo it can happen because the calibration setting ignores or erases it. It seems to be the best idea to install it on the default path.…
tl;dr: There's practically no security risk here, as your MAC address doesn't get sent over the Internet, and even if they did have your MAC address there's practically nothing malicious that could be done with it. The physical address, or MAC address, is a set of 12 hexadecimal digits that uniquely identify your network…
That definitely helps Meteora. I think it was a little more confusing then it needed to be cause I have my model fully optimized in terms of deleting unnecessary faces. s620ex1 - I should probably fill you in on the back story of what me and the guy I'm working on this with are trying to accomplish. I'm doing the block out…
These things don't just happen out of nowhere - it takes a lot of ignorance about the situation to draw that conclusion. Oh yes, there are criminal acts going on here - but the reason that this is happening is a vastly complicated issue of longstanding disenfranchisement. People just get madder and madder and more fed up…
I used Linux for a while in the early 2000s and it was a fun learning experience. Didn't really use it for much, but enjoyed learning how the OS worked and having more control over my hardware. Recently, I have been installing and playing with various distributions on a 10-year-old beater box for the past few days as a…
I'm also studying japanese in my spare time. I'd admit, its tough work going solo. By far the best piece of advice I can give is to not stop. If your serious about learning anything(especially a language) then you have to invest a lot of time. All of those links Yozora posted are great resources. Slow and steady is the way…
before i start ranting i might as well post something useful hehe i agree with Daz - if you're doing stuff for low poly, then build it so it looks correct, and deforms well, with the fewest amount of polys. i've seen some amazing art done with the "worst" lineflow you can imagine. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. the only…
Wolverine was a poor film in general. That's what hurt its performance in the box office. It was just bad. It broke canon, it had an inconsistent story, and it took many liberties with the characters that just made them really suck. As far as the Crysis 2 leak, I think you're making a huge unsubstantiated assumption that…
