Re: New to UVW unwrap & Normal maps
Thanks for your answer, I'll keep that in mind! I'm currently working on a tutorial and this is what I got so far. As you can see, the pattern on part 3 looks 'mirrored'. On part 1 and 2, it looks ok. Part 1, 2 and 3 are the same (instances). Why does it looks good on 1 and 2 and why does it looks bad on 3? And, is this a… -
Re: Portfolio Spring Cleaning help
I think these pieces are good enough to stay. Note I only took half the furniture. The top 2 sets are very very simple. The only really likeable items are the beds and couches. Sorry to be so harsh. All your renders seem to be 3dMax scanline renders, with a very bland light setup, if any light setup at all. The latest 2… -
Re: Humbly asking for help
I see two things working against you. 1) If you're looking for work inside the US and Canada there is a lot of local talent looking for work. Even if you are only looking for freelance its still easier for companies to hire within their own boarders. 2) The portfolio has some great work in it. But some issues.* It opens to… -
Re: Joint Placement?
I've been doing this a few years, creating skeletons for generic models and for specific actors based on mocap, and there are a few things I subscribe to: CG bones are not bones, they are a simple deformation system.

Re: Oblivion xbox360

Re: How did everyone here get into the 3d world?
Loooong ago there was a game called 7th guest, one of the first prerendered CD games, that spearheaded the use of 3D Studio for videogames. So I pestered a computer-savvy friend until he got me a copy of 3D Studio 2 (and for the younger ones here, that's 3DS 2, not 3DS Max 2. Max is 3D Studio for Windows ie more or less… -
Re: Resident Evil 4...... garsh darnit!
yea this game kicks ass. I'm on my third play through after having beaten the mercenaries and getting the handcannon. That thing is sick, kills bosses in 1 or 2 hits. Capcom really hit the nail on the head with this one, the story is so-so compared to past resident evil games (2 was my favorite as far as that goes) but the… -
