Re: The pattern of caucasian hair...
This might help on the whorl, not sure about the part. http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythhairwhorl.html "...Wunderlich and Heerema (1975) could see a hair whorl in only 10 percent of black newborns, and Ziering and Krenitsky (2003) reported that 80 percent of African-American men had a diffuse pattern instead of a whorl.… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nick Dariano, Environment Artist
Thanks everyone! This year I plan to work even harder. My goal is that next year most of this stuff will not still be in my porfolio. :) @Joopson: you better get working then. :) The excavator was pretty hi poly, I want to say around 500 thousand tris. lol of course I made it a while ago so it wasn't as optimized as it… -
Re: Character WIP - Paladin (Cole Eastburn concept) feedback and critiques are welcomed!
getting close to calling the high poly version done, starting on the low poly, shooting for 50k, I may be able to lower it more or the total opposite and end up with way more than I ever expected XD. -
Re: If Not Game Art, Then What?
Screenplay Writer (art painted in words, yeah?) Iron Man 3 director Shane Black wrote Lethal Weapon when he was 24. Sold it for around $250K (he's first sale). Pre-internet you really have to move to LA to get in the biz. But now it's possible to get discovered by just joining recognized writers contests online. Can't… -

Re: [Chivalry] Pole axe Golden Age
Well, I hope I will pack all the available polygons right. I think сhivalry limits are pretty fat, I'm also working in dota 2 workshop and there is a luxury if you have 500 tris limit. -
Re: Starting from Zbrush for production
WTF? Guys like this, can get an internship with less to know knowledge of the game / film and I cant even get a factory job with a Software Engineer's Degree. :( To the OT; You sir, are in the wrong part of the realm sir. If you find making a base mesh for anything in any 3d modeling software boring, here is an intel for… -
Re: External HDD recommedations
I haven't used those, but I have two external LaCie Quadras connected via an eSATA card, and they work great. eSATA is very fast. http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11156 To give you an idea of the difference, here's from their specs page... eSATA: up to 3Gbits/s (300MB/s) FireWire 800: up to 800Mbits/s… -
Re: graphics card recommendations
I'm just sending my GTX460 768Mb back. Apparently both the 400 and 500 series have a bug or something making them to stop showing the picture after a certain time. BUT i can still recommend it, if it works ;) Otherwise it's just the hassle of switching it. -
Re: Need to work remotely. Experiences with Vaio Canvas Z, as a mobile option?
As someone who thought that the Cintiq Companion 2 would be good enough for my needs (Maya, ZBrush, Substance and Photoshop) I have the following tip: don't. Integrated graphics chips are the worst. Especially substance ran absolutely terribly and Maya froze constantly and could not smoothly handle meshes larger than 50k…
