Playing on a 5/7 yr old pc, when i had time to game, luckily got into a tribe of one of the pve servers. But before that was on pvp and held my own freaking epic-ally i have to say, did however watch a lot of vids before taking the plunge, I made a two floor box with in a box with spikes surrounding it with a trick way to…
I gave it a try as well, even though I don't do any stuff rendered inside Blender recently. I really enjoy the workflow, creating panel lines and the convenience of the integrated asset manager. No idea how the parallax node group works, looked at it and got dizzy :D The effect is really good though. Excited to see what…
I too have been taking advantage of the Ddo open beta (fantastic suite) and thought I'd share some discoveries I've made concerning baking/normals. Not all OBJs are created equal, depending on the program that is doing the exporting there can be different results when imported into engines like Marmoset. For example, OBJs…
[ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esfNimdzl0o"]Blender: 1st Walk Cycle - YouTube[/ame] HD Link: http://youtu.be/esfNimdzl0o?hd=1 Here is my first walk cycle in Blender. I didn't animate the fingers and hair yet. This animation took about 3 hours. It would have been about 30 minutes in familiar software like 3ds Max.…
Having finished my MFA in May, I can offer this. School is a great experience, but that's all it is. It's not a job, but the effort to do well is job-like. Your work in school builds upon itself, so by the time you are done you have a whole lot of knowledge and student level work to..... ...build on for a professional…
Good on ya for being meticulous about your workflow. Helps us a lot to understand where you're coming from :) Pipeline in regards to the plank. Dyamesh doesn't make good retopology mesh. It's only useful for giving you even quads at a certain density. At best, you could use ZRemesher, but there's ways to get a good retopo…
I play a lot of videogames. Mostly with friends online. from the impression i get here, i am in better shape than this guy. i'm making progress with art. i've read more philosophy than this guy. Playing a lot of videogames, reading a lot of books, watching a lot of tv, =/= giving up health ambition and sleep. Sounds like a…
Piracy could be reduced if we had police for the internet, closing all the important warez sites and jailing too many bastards... but we all know we all like to have some things for free, like the apps for learning. What happens with the app store and the level of piracy for the iphone is incredible. That is a perfect…
I agree with everyone else here, that you should choose a specialty path and really hit it hard to show your greatest strengths. Getting into other areas isn't bad though either, as it will show you know the whole pipeline, but sometimes not the best to put on your portfolio for what position your really going for. That's…
Everyone, thank you soo much for participating and clearing the skies for me. My vision, learn as much as you can, and you'll be more flexible in creating whatever you wanna create. The problem is, its like going to the gym. If you stop practicing one thing you'll get rusted and forget it. I am going to upgrade my rig to a…
