getting fat doing games art
how do you find being a games artist has affected your waistline? Since I started doing games art back in about 1995/6 I have put on about 6 stones and i feel that this is because I spent so much time sitting down. I really never had a problem with my weight before that. But anyway I have lost early 4 stones in the last 3… -

3ds Visibillity properties
Having a lot of problems with an object's visibility in Max. The object in question is a piece of clothing on a character, I had it set to .6 or so visibility so that I could work on the mesh underneath, or see bones or something. For some reason now I CAN. NOT. get the visibility to change in the object properties. I'll… -
Re: Sketchbook: BlazefuryX
Day 69/180 (Topology) - Greetings to all of you who are enjoying a fresh morning. And to those who are not, I hope you have a wonderful day ahead. Today, I played around with creating circular shapes from flat surfaces. I used a simple 2 by 2 grid as a base, but varied the number of vertices for the circle. I tested two… -
Re: Help with weapon modeling?
The picatinny rail dimensions can be relied upon. You can also usually find dimensions on the ammunition, barrel, slide length, total length, total height. Then you can model in some placeholder boxes to hold those dimensions for you. That should help place any refs you can use. "The gun measures 10.75” in length with a 6”… -
Re: warhammer 40K grey knight terminator
Repeat after me: lens flares are evil. Having established that, you should know that the rays are caused by bright light hitting the lens, and is more visible with longer lenses and/or small apertures. The shape of the lens flare - whether the star which you (partially) have or the various bright 'spots' - is determined by… -
Re: New PC. ..Kind off..not really. Yelp!
Well it's going to be extremely hard to find a itx sized motherboard for that processor. There is an itx board for the 2011 v3 socket, if you really want to have a 6 core 12 thread processor, but I'd probably suggest getting a 4790k processor and itx board for it, and keep everything else you can. I did a mATX build with a… -
Re: Life choices : crappy job + art at side or any other job + art on the back burner
SuperFranky has a nice little idea. I know that after college my portfolio was trash and I needed a bit more time to sort of figure things out. I eventually figured out what exactly I wanted to do and then I spent 6 months doing it, after 9 months of floundering. You know what you want to do. So if you can move in with… -
Re: Halo 3: ODST
haha the funny thing is i prefer 6-9 hour games, that way i'll actually finish them. on the topic of firefight match making, I would much rather play with my buds than have to deal with the 13-15 year old audience that seems to make up 80% of halos online community. and it really is only 4 people max which isnt hard to… -
Re: Performance question : multiples materials with custom AO
I don't know the precisely how Unreal manages instanced materials, but I do know the hardware usually wants each material to be delivered on its own. So if you have 6 instanced materials on one mesh, this is usually going to be sent to the card in separate chunks. Each chunk of triangles that shares the same material.…
