Re: Building myself a rig
i would not get the 4850x2 i have heard nothing but bad things about that card, 4770's in crossfire would be a better bet, or even 4850's in xfire. That's if you want ati. I have 4850's in xfire and they are rock solid, beat the snot out of my old 8800gts. The Nvidia 260 core 216 is also a rock solid card in single or sli… -
Re: Max>Zbrush workflow?
Hi, I'd say the most common process is slightly different, but it can vary depending on the final product you need to obtain. In general I walk through the following steps: For organic/character modeling: 1. Create a fairly simple, sculpt friendly, base mesh in 3ds Max -> evenly dense mesh with mostly quads. It should be… -
Re: Industry Peeves and Problems
The only notes I currently have on Crunch - they are about 18 months old so I may not agree with them anymore: Crunch time Ah, crunch time. Crunch time is when you forget what your family and friends look like and end up smelling like a tramp. Crunch time is the period at the end of EVERY project, or before most deadlines… -
Re: Digipen - Thoughts, opinions?
Who are you :D We must have been in the same class. I switched to the BFA so we only had the first year together. As to this post, I'm in the first graduating class of the BFA in 2008, worked there for a year as a CG TA til I recently quit (on good terms). I don't have much to say about the design program being that I… -

Re: Some Common Things.
1) When you're working in the UV editor and have some faces selected and turn off wireframe-on-shaded, the wire for the unselected polies disappears. so far so good. but the wire for the selected ones doesn't disappear. it just turns into a somewhat red dotted line (from being a solid red line before). Now the reason this… -
Re: Getting good shoulder deformations?
you're not limited by biped in terms of bone amount - it let's you attach dummies, or entire bone hierachies to any of it's joints. the bad thing is that you cannot do parameter wiring to e.g. read biped body part rotation and accordingly position a deformation helper bone. biped doesn't seem to expose that kind of… -
Re: "I wanted the gun to tell a story."
One thing that is very important with UVs, is to keep them straight. If your uvs are randomly rotate 7 degrees, you're going to need more resolution to represent straight-line type detail, which you have a lot of(a very good example of this is on the magazine). Think of it this way: you can represent a straight line in 2d… -
Re: The Italian Job
1- your vertical scale is off everything seams too wide and low. 2- too much dirt in the glass arches, a fairly expensive but good reults method for this would be to duplicate the faces, have a low-ish res full window behind like you have now with the glass included, maybe a touch or ref mapping. and a smaller higher res…
