Re: Trying to break into the industry when not fresh out of school?
Thought about doing contract work? It would get you some titles, experience and some more pieces for your portfolio, and you would start to network. About your portfolio: Over all, the art is pretty good. But the lighting needs to be improved, the textures are noisy and often too big for the object they are covering and… -
Re: xNormal instead of Max's render-to-texture?
There is an issue with xnormal that has turned me off a little. You can see it on this page. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1169198&postcount=1984 Max has a way of tweaking edges so the blend better than Xnormal. It doesn't seem to matter the realtime dx render engine. -
Re: Command & Conquer Classics now Free
Oh hey there, 1995! It's been a while now.. how's it going? So many hours of my life wasted on C&C. I still have the original discs, though I think they are scratched beyond use. Does the online play work on these with modern internets? -

Re: Squaresoft Town
I'm very happy that this project has received a good deal of praise. I really want to take this look further now with another project. EDIT: Ged: I used a LOT of strip textures for this project (sheets with thin strips that can tile). Only a few props use unique texture sheets. Famouz: I have always been inspired by… -
Re: really cool explanation about piracy
Well, yes and no. In terms of practical considerations, no one in their right mind would open up a shop to sell or even freely distribute pirated 360 games. 1. If they tried to sell them, their customers would quickly realize that they could copy these games themselves and distribute them to their friends for free.… -
Re: Wireless mice suck
I haven't touched a wireless mouse since 1994. That one was 3 button and infrared. It worked okay, What's the point of a wireless mouse if you're always close to your computer anyways, not like you'll game or model on your couch or in bed. -
Re: 3ds Max vertex re-ordering... script?
cut and paste fails I'm afraid, the isortm give the correct results here. ( fn randomPtOnCone theta = ( h = cos theta; phi = 360.0 * random 0.0 1.0; z = h + ( 1 - h ) * random 0.0 1.0; sinT = sqrt (1 - z * z); [sinT * cos phi, sinT * sin phi, z]; ) fn compareInt i1 i2 values: = values[i1] - values[i2]; fn comparePoint3_Z…
