I guess you can argue that when I buy a product I am indirectly contributing to the advertising fund for that product, but I'm not paying for the advertisment itself. When I buy something, some amount of profit goes to the corporation, and they're free to do whatever they wish with that profit (they can spend 100% of it on…
JordanLeigh: He turned out nice! It's cool to see other people's executions of the same concept. All the different routes that are available. The PBR is a good look on him. (you responded to hans while I was typing this shiz) :) PyrZern: Yours turned out great too man. :) independ-hans: What PyrZern (and JordanLeigh) said,…
I would say the biggest letdown on your environments is the lighting. I have done some quick (albeit very rough paintovers to kind of illustrate what I mean by this. Firstly I have moved the logo's to the bottom right corner and downsized them so they were no longer obscuring a large part of your image (excuse the bad…
Could still use some work. -Textures still look clean. World War 1 was a muddy, dirty, drawn out war. You've got a chance to represent that here. -Material definition needs some work. Push the spec in some places, use gloss to full effect so that materials are distinctly different. I feel like your rust (exhaust) doesn't…
Ben Mathis could have gone with any url and it would have worked (as he has proved). The name and logo itself isn't what makes it memorable, its the resources on his site and his status in the community. I personally don't think its a good idea at all to make a "silly" url and logo like that to be used as your main…
Max Maya XSI? Can you use plug-ins like FumeFX, Thinking Particles, Rayfire, RealFlow? Krakatoa to get it all running quickly, loop-able and reversible. FumeFX is great at smoke and fire and probably the easiest way to create those effects. Thinking Particles is great for applying rules to particles. Rayfire is great at…
Hi! I'm an internet personality / meme page admin on instagram under the name of @feline.feels, and over the last few years I've been learning to DJ. I've gotten to the point where I'm ready to get out there, but before I do so, I'd like to create some strong visual branding for myself, as I'm taking my artistic career…

I need hardware suggestions for new tower, if you have a bit of spare time and enjoy putting together links for hardware (I used to do this for friends as a teen). I haven't built a new tower in almost 6 years and finally feel it's time to get a new one. Since it's been so long, I don't remember some key things about which…
Ok, so I've been having this issue for a while, but its never really been a problem so I've never tried to fix it, but now I am trying and I'm not sure where to go... When I boot up my PC the DELL logo is offset about a 3rd of the screen to the left, same when the windows loading screen comes up....by the time windows…
