Yep, start looking up them 3d resource DVD's, definitely get used to level editors' pipeline and update your site with specific game art (environments like the condos on your site) and soon enough you will be shipping a game.... Also what you currently have is great in its own right but learning other ways to light…
thanks to all of the suggestions. I'm almost done with Homework and I'll start on these pieces. Jessemoody: Which pieces would you recommend to keep for a portfolio?? I'll work on all of them for practice but I'll like to work harder on some to keep on my portfolio. Stimpack: I don't really use dodge and burn, just brushes…
Hey guys! When I baked the normal I tried using xNormal at first but the results were quite bad so I went back to using Transfer maps in maya. I did make sure to flip the green channel. When I exported the model with ActorX the smoothing groups may not have been attached, I will try that again. As for the face problem, I…
Little update, finished the shoes. I know you guys are going to kill me for modeling the laces, but I didn't think a normal map would give me the result I am looking for. I want to keep the poly count under 15,000 and after optimizing the mesh and adding a weapon I should be well below that. If anyone has any other ideas…
Don't know if it's feasible to do KP's design on t-shirts. I work for a screenprinter. The vast majority of the shit we do is like the toothy grin ones made last year. That's a simple 2 color print (1 on back, 1 on front) which are cheap and easy to make for relatively small quantities of shirts. KP's design would require…
Okay, let's say that this actually does make it to become actual legislation. How would the technology and infrastructure of something like this even work? How would 'they', whether ISP's or some dedicated authority, even track the amounts of data being transferred across the net? What about legal measures to dispute the…
the max build in UV editor is not suited to unwrap something with a high density or rather highpoly because it is based on very old and dated software routines to display the UV's. I noticed when relaxing complex stuff Headus for example responds about 8x quicker. Sometimes I was even forced to use Headus because the max…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio This guy? Mr I can enforce federal laws even though I'm a local sheriff. Good-ol-boy mob justice "we don't need the law to enforce what we think is right, we are the law, what we say goes" is great and all until it turns on you. People going along with someone who embraces that…
For me Vista runs very well and boots much more quickly than XP. Gaming performance is fine. All my driver issues have been resolved (either by updates or by workarounds [eg. HP won't support old scanners, but changing certain installation files to Windows2000 compatibility makes them work anyways]). Right now my only…
As a fan of the ghostbusters movies and cartoon show I had to reply to this. I love the concept sketches and I wish a few more details had transferred to the model. For one, I prefer the drawings minus the anus lips. I think without them he looks a little more skeletal and therefore more ghostly. The big lips make him seem…
