Re: What kind of machine are you running on?
@James: I wouldn't buy new hardware for a system that old. I'd look on ebay. for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATi-Radeon-9600-XT-128MB-VGA-DVI-TV-AGP-Video-Card_W0QQitemZ200216749691QQihZ010QQcategoryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem… -
Re: Getting started... please advise.
Art college for games is a waste, imo. Unless it's extremely game-centric like Digipen (15yr waiting list, btw), it's really a waste of money. If you look at the portfolio's of graduating students, the majority look like high school level art. Being self taught (as myself, and MANY others on here are), shows the studio… -
Re: Choosing a direction
"Now, I'd imagine making animations and showing off the models would be the first step in the right direction, obviously." Wrong, actually. Do you consider yourself a modeler? Don't put any animation in your reel. Here's some general advice: 1) Be a shit hot modeler. And I mean really damn good. You've decided to step into… -
Re: Character Critique
I just found this old thread on cgsociety: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=559283 They seem to think on there it is a problem with Mental Ray and shared UV space rather than a problem with Maya. So if you are getting the problem with Max too that could be the case. It would be interesting for you to bring her… -
Re: Sketchook: ChrisY
Your models look good, I think for the motorcycle since you did a high poly and got normal maps for the low poly you could have modelled in more detail. The low poly is missing some pieces like the part where the wheel connects to the bike. As for unwrapping, what issues are you having? I work in Maya and recently learned… -
Re: Seeing great art done in short times, do you get depressed?
The only person that truly digusts me with his speed is Jeff Miller (Red Republik). He dosen't really depress me with his speed, because I'm pretty sure he's a machine from the future sent back through time to make REALLY crazy good art at an insane pace. Took him 2.5 Days to make Cobra Commander for the CGhub GI Joe… -
Re: Any great tutorials documenting the entire process of high to low poly modelling?
Here is a good one by Ben Bolton. It's divided into 4 sections. http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/next-gen-weapon-creation-day-1-the-high-poly-model/ I learned a lot from it. Good luck :) -
Re: Polycount Wiki
Cool, glad to hear people are into the idea. I've been using MediaWiki a lot at work, and it's helped me to make a help page with the most commonly-used bits of markup, like how to insert images, links, tables, etc. Like MoP says, pretty easy once you get get the hang of it. Organization will happen in time, but I wouldn't… -
Re: learning to 3d
My first advice would be to improve your grammar and spelling, then dabble with some "3d". Hmmm... don't want to say this, but try cgtalk first? (there I said it)
