I think that is pretty common - finding smaller places where you can more consistently talk and get feedback for the same people. I for one use the greentooth slack and it has been a saving grace for me, I considered quitting 3D altogether before I found it but after I joined I not only got my first freelance gig through…
Most grants are local. Even Kickstarter has jurisdiction. I know the Canadian Media Fund offers up to $1million. http://www.cmf-fmc.ca/ Unreal has one for teams that use the Unreal Engine. https://www.unrealengine.com/unrealdevgrants There's also heavy stipulations on some, and some that are subject based. If you want to…
That's great to hear, thanks for taking the time to check in and good luck with all the aftermath. I gotta say, this whole thing's had me a tad rattled myself and I'm in nice cozy middle-of-the-US-no-chance-of-earthquakes-at-all Iowa. It's just been nuts checking out that footage. I mean really, a world without Japan is…
Nice! I think you did really well on the modeling and texturing side. I do have some critique; - Your glass material is all wonk. Is this on purpose? It looks all bubbly. - The hearts on the back wall kind of look like emoticons added to the image after render. They don't sit with the rest of the cozy attic scene. If you…
Hey, I love the attention to detail and would love to get more screenshots. My critique: I feel that something is off with the textures on the walls and floor. This might have to do with the lighting of the scene, which could improve a whole lot. You have spent so much time on all of the models which really shows, but…
if anyone needs a place to stay me and 2 other friends are renting a room with 2 double beds at the Sheraton, which is right across the street from the convention center. So if you don't mind getting a little cozy with strangers for some sleep then you are welcome plus we will have 2 cots and the floor as well. also we…
Using Blizzard-style art as inspiration is good, but using them as primary references without understanding the core concepts behind arms and armour is bad; you'll be copying and incorporating their lack of understanding into your own work without realizing it. In the early 2000's basically nobody knew how armour worked…
You can force load the files, to do so do the following - 1. Extract pak01_dir.vpk somewhere 2. Copy all the extracted files and place them in steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota 3. Make a backup folder somewhere, Copy all the .vpk files from steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota into the backup folder, then delete them in the…
Hey @pior ! Okay, so in short I'm attempting to implement a method for blender and FWN discussed in the thread here at polycount on FWN that I linked to in the op. The idea is that by using a low poly version you can circumvent having to set the normals manually throughout the modeling process and the data transfer…
You know it's funny when I read up on it and went out to buy it, I walked into Gamestop first just to see what was up, maybe see if they had some extra Augmented Edition copies or something. After I got my questions answered (they didn't have any extra copies of he Augmented Edition, they only had the standard version…
