Re: critique my business card?
Do your really need the icons? It's 2014 not 1994 everybody knows what an email address is (let alone a phone number). Your business card is your PROFESSIONAL CALLING CARD.

Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
Thanks for the link @Eric Chadwick I'll check it out in a minute. I think you're right about the shadows. I checked out some mobile games, and even Asphalt for example appears to have just lightmaps with a fake shadow raycast into the floor. I'm somewhat surprised though. On my mobile game I have fairly complex scenes with… -

Re: Looking for opinions on the older Cintiq 15x + ultra portable PCs recommendations
I kind of like the size of the Intel NUC, especially with traveling in mind. Also it's got the newest Intel HD 5000 graphics chipset. Still I wouldn't expect it's performance to be near as good as a dedicated GPU. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/01/smallness-uber-alles-intels-tiny-haswell-based-nuc-desktop-reviewed/… -
Re: Portfolio Critique Please
I think your art will surely benefit from having better lighting setups. Also, you could use some photo blurred backgrounds also instead of pinkish-grey gradient. But... it can also show weaknesses sometimes, so be ready to revisit some models ;) For example, I have a feeling that T-Rex has wrongly baked normals in some… -

Re: UE4 Texture settings help (Mip Gen Settings, LOD Bias, Power of Two Mode)

What LOD bias does is limit where the loading process stops. So a value of zero means it stops at the largest version of the image. A… -

Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
Hello, I'm trying to accomplish this glossy (varnished) wood material in 3ds Max 2014, and is I chose to incorporate the nails in the texture (I now regret this however, but I was a complete beginner when I made that decision). This means I need to have different values for these two types of areas. It worked well as a… -
