Thanks for the advice! changing the FoV makes everything look quite different which takes a little getting used to. In the meantime, the first highpolies and their low poly counterparts. 40-48-120 triangles left to right. The straight piece top left will be used for a bent version as well. I was thinking of doing the rest…

I have a thermaltake 120 ultra which is supposed to be one of the best i7 air coolers. My average temp is around 35 degrees according to 'coretemp' when not under load, i've ran quite a few benchmarks: Uniengine and STALKER:COP to name a few and theres never any problems when under load. I recently cleaned the inside and…
I'm taking a small breather from the ongoing Motorcycle project (Ambient Occlusion Maps are all baked out). I figured I'd do something a little smaller as a quick Prop Study. Time Spent: 4.5 Hours. Poly Count: 120 Tris Texture Maps: 1024 x 1024 Normal, Diffuse, and Specular Maps. Software Used: Maya LT, Marmoset 3. I will…
I have spent around 120-130 in Mech Warrior Online. This includes the $30 to start in the beta before release. I held off for quite some time before spending more than that 30. I have spent not a dime anywhere else. This has everything to do with my friends playing and us doing co-op coordinated plays. Infact if it wasn't…
If you're just using Photoshop, CC is awesome. Its $10/m for current versions of Photoshop and Lightroom - awesome if you do any photo editing. Lightroom itself is about $120, PS, what $700 or so? It would take about 7 years of paying for CC for it to be a bad deal. OTOH, if you're happy with your current version, or you…

Mop 40 people on a next gen team is tiny!My team has 120+ lol Of course they also had the engine development team - that would have been working on Unreal/Ed further the Gears teams success. I think it was a great a achievement for a small team though, great quality through out (except for the driving level - were the…
Aesir, Vig, r4ptur3 - Thanks! Divi - Thanks! I agree with the style difference, I had concepts from two different artists and I tried to blend their styles together, but I think its still noticeable (the purple fish ended up more on the realistic end with the highlights, where the angry fish is solidly cartoon). I painted…
For those of you who are confused, here is a basic shader that you can use to get your foot in the door for physically based shading. As you can see, it doesn't even cost much more instruction count wise then the dreadful default phong shader. To make it easy to implement and re-use I suggest you do as I did and implement…
