When I was little I always wanted to be an architect. My family was broke so they couldn't afford university, also partly knowing this, I fucked about in college and didn't get the grades for a scholarship anyhow. Since 16 the only goal I had was to get to Japan. I was working for probe at the time on some SNES games,…
putting an FPS gun on a 2048 is very common these days. in FPS games the gun is right in your face 95% of the time, so a map that large is warranted. it may get scaled down to 1024 for consoles, but in all my time working for clients i've always been asked to texture fps weapons at 2048. tbh you're totally off-base about…
So some retard shoots up a school and now we should get rid of the 2nd amendment? How does this even make sense. Do you guys honestly think even if gun laws were passed it would reduce gun violence? Ordinary citizens would be sitting ducks to just about anyone who wants to commit a violent crime. And in America, a lot more…
The on-card vert count is the true evaluation of the mesh. It is a calculation of physical verts plus UV/smoothing/Mat ID vert breaks. There are scripts to view the actual vert count, or in a program like Marmoset Toolbag this is already calculated and accounted for in the vertex count display. I still can't believe how…
Still seems too low to be useful though. For an 8k texture, 512 samples seems to be just enough to hide most noise. And having to bake a higher res texture on GPU only to downscale to reduce the noise seems to be slower. I did some simple tests - maybe my GPU bake settings could be better but my results were these. GPU…
i got it on PC... i think it unlocks this friday. Can't wait to play this!

HEH, It's been 3 years since my graduation and I am doing marketing freelance and individual environment models for people to put in Poser while I work on my own mobile games. If you really love what you do it is quite painful when major studios (and smaller ones) don't seem to want you. Out of every 30 applications I send…
If they do, I'm pretty sure they will get another headache a la Silicon Knights, and that's something they most likely will want to avoid, especially with the input in a new engine. After reading the slide, a few things stood out for me: -SSS has shadowed and unshaded mode? Does this mean what I think it means (EI: That…
Were you aiming for something cartoon when sculpting this bust? There are some big anatomical flows. Here is what you should work on about the shapes: - The structure of the eye. The eye without the eyeball is not just a gapping hole. There's an upper and lower lid, the relation between the brow and the upper lid, the way…
My God man.. my jaw is on the floor. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm seriously at a loss for words, thank you so much. Thank you for investing that time to write that out for me... feeling much more comfortable learning after reading that. I'm 28 now so I'm not sure if I can still make this a career but I would love…
