Re: HP - Super Heavy Tank Scene!
Ok so I decided to just leave it as is because I couldnt think of anything special and had a lot to do However, I just downloaded the trial of photoshop CC, and while photoshop is my life, I never saw a reason to upgrade (and CC is not cheap either) And while it seems that there are nearly no new things, there are 2 killer… -
Re: Student Loan Forgiveness of 2012
Crazy fingers pretty summed it up. We live in a society that has had a lot of good experiences with higher education (who went to college in the 60s, 70s, and 80s). All through life we were told "go to college, be more educated, and succeed in life!" Today the tables have turned a 180 degrees. If I had an 18 year old son… -
Re: Jmiles Hotrod WIP
You could give it an extra couple of hours of love and tweak a few things before wraping it up IMHO, mainly the specular map. Metal parts look like grey plastic and the car paint could be a little more pearlescent and flakey. From the images I assume you're using a black and white specular level map? If so consider using a… -
Re: Upgrading my crappy computer - polycount please help :)
First off, my math was not completely wrong, just the part on efficiency. And you accuse me of exaggerating. The machine will draw 436W at peak demand. It might not be the norm, but why chance it? It's best to prepare for the worst than to just cut corners. You're taking my point about peak power and applying it as if it's… -
Re: That old Mac vs Windows Debate
Ah...interesting, just helps to get another point of view. I'm relatively in a similar boat, currently researching whether to go fully 'mobile' or indeed self-assemble a total workstation desktop upgrade too WIN10 pro once MS pulls 7 support in the new year. My 'day' job as a security operative for asset protection… -
Re: Some work from hobbyst.
Just a few years ago, you would have needed a fairly expensive digital SLR camera to capture images with sufficient quality. Now, however, cameras have advanced enough so that even inexpensive ones work well enough. I would strongly recommend a camera with an optical zoom (as opposed to purely digital zooms), as they… -
Re: KA-52 Alligator Russian Attack Helicopter
@tynew Thank you, ill need to take a break sometime and look over my progress over the short year I began my modeling - hard surface carreer. Still have leaps of improvement, will be spending this year practicing texturing/complex hard surface to practice more design (to then be able to come up with my own stuff) Progress,… -
Re: Best program for making levels/landscapes?
I use displacement maps for the rough layout then go in and push, pull, relax verts around using the paint tools. This is where I wish they would let me use custom displacement brushes to push pull areas. Most of the time the displacement I paint works just fine and I don't have to go to the poly. I can, and don't have any… -
Re: Zbrush Zmapper.. POS? Get Normals into Max?
The problem is you cant see the ray distance effect until after you render (unless I missed a checkbox to show?). Unlike a cage in max. Zbrush or at least zmapper also imports models in a default generic size, so you cant create a cage in max, and expect it to line up unless you scale it inside zbrush in which case you get… -
Re: That other console that's not made by MS or Sony
Girl's console? Please. The Revolution is the only system that has piqued my interest in these last couple of days. The only thing about the Xbox360 and PS3 that impressed me was seeing the Unreal 3 engine in action, which I've already been exposed to. Nintendo is trying something that I don't believe Sony or Microsoft…
