Re: AAArgh! US based Ebay sellers!
Why not get the shirts from a Uniform distributor, or manufacturer? Most Companies, rahter han individuals, will ship overseas. Fake a "production company" letterhead, and fax in an order, saying you need this for a small BBC drama. Most will be glad to help. What you are looking for are "Flying Cross" brand "Duty Shirts",… -
Starcraft 2 Marine/Marauder Concept Rifle
Hi, this project started as a personal "speed model challenge" but now I'm eager to finish it. I used one of the concept sketches from the Starcraft 2 WoL Artbook as basis: I started by doing a blockout and then I build the ingame model from it. At the moment I'm at ~ 10k verts. The render was done in 3DO. You can download… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
Refine, refine, refine. A last minute change to the wings material was made. I thought a silvery infestation would be interesting, but it's just a bit too far out there, aesthetically. I want to keep things grounded. Player customization of wing colour within a select colour range and possibly model will be ideal. Have a… -
Re: [WiP] Catacombs Corridor
Interesting subject, I like where this is going! A stonger lighting to highlight your centerpiece more, or something to make it pop out more, maybe by contrasting it with some color, or a mix of both :) . You can try changing the color of the wax of your candles (or the flame if you want to go more "surnatural"), you can… -
Re: Autodesks 2015
Yes, turbosmooth pro or plain old double-turbosmooth are basically the same thing as opensubdiv. It's not a silver bullet that makes subD modeling super easy all of a sudden. From looking at the videos, the advantage autodesk's implementation over TS pro seem to be: - Multiple options for handling UV distortion,… -
Re: Video Arcade- W.I.P. Environment Art
If you are using Xoliul's shader you are getting realtime results. The speaker on the front needs blue stripes down the middle of it - the gray ones you have are too faint to show up, and most of the DK cabinets have wood stripes the same color as the cabinet over the speaker. The coin slots need to be silver or metallic,… -
Re: Mag 08
Looks pretty good! I think you would benefit a lot from breaking up the materials further. The texture looks good but some elements look too similar which means the different parts of the gun will bleed together visually. You've got some great references, I would experiment around by: 1) Darkening albedo for the grip and… -
Re: Is it possible to be a freelance 3D modeler?
Jacque is joking about the cocaine thing obviously but there is some truth in the joke - freelance hours are not like 9-5 job hours. A lot of freelancers work much more than 8/hr a day, and in my experience 12-16 hr/days aren't uncommon, and it gets much muddier if you count the amount of time actually running the business… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
[ QUOTE ] I really couldn't feel that I did a job well done if i just snapped some pictures and slapped them on as a texture. [/ QUOTE ] when you're using 750 polys for a head, you'd have to be either the world's best or most lucky digital photographer to slap your photo on and have it meet your geometry and mapping.… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
A lot comes down to one thing. Things change when they pay you for your talent. The idea that you will get to do what you want to do and when you want to do it is sold for a few pieces of silver. As far as games as a business goes its just starting to come of age. What was once looked on as a form of art is now starting…
