http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html The GF is a beast, but then again the next ATI card is 150 bucks cheaper. Depends what you want to do though. My card is down the list by now, but it still manages to drive a 30" and a 22" monitor at respectable FPS with very high settings in e.g. Mass Effect 3 (yes, I…
I finally got off my lazy arse and finished up the low poly, more or less. There are a few things not shown, such as his utility belt (I've got a single pouch I'll be using for the entire belt) his boot accoutrements, his visor, eyes and teeth. I'm predicting I'll come in at around 14-15k, which is much heavier than I'd…
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script…

well, can you pay all the expenses, bills etc with the %1500 per month ? or are you going to have to cut into your savings if you have any. 20K seems too low of an offer for even an entry level position in a AAA studio.
Chaserm2 Drop that sprocket image on a plane, then using a spline line trace out the shape. Since it's a pretty complex shape you probably want to trace out several shapes and then combine them. nufftalon yea splines are pretty cool and have a lot of uses. One thing to keep in mind is that you can turn any edge in edit…
Wires and rig setup: (complicated as all F to you :) yet. ) For those wondering, let me know if this is badass ;) I also have a animation thread going for anyone wanting to bring help my way. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157788 This project will take a while for sure, might just go with a cool pose and…
