Re: Sketchbook : Generalvivi
Day 5-6 : So I went in and started adding place holder points in the environment for a lower area and some of the interior sections on day 5. On day 6 I put in a placeholder vista to help get some sizes down and match it up correctly to the environment. Today I got a really interesting idea to help Tie any other maps we… -

Re: A Bug's Life.... Awesome article about being QA
Malcom.. #3.... I would have killed to have such an option.. I really can't explain just how piss poor the food was that they offered us after the longer work days. I even offered to take the time off for dinner (which it was later revealed they were already cutting off, contrary to what they'd originally told us) and pay… -

Re: Printed Portfolio's?

Re: |CE3] Amir's Arenanet environment test
Couple of things you can cut/optimize: The chimney: instead of 6 strips holding the "lid" in place, use 3. Maybe one less segment on the chimney body. Wooden details: have fewer than 6 small bars on the short side of the house. Roof: you probably don't need to have the extra vertex at the center of the wooden beams poking… -
Re: Salary of a 3d artist?
1: if you truly have the passion, teach yourself, a slightly lower starting salary wont sting as much when you are not paying back massive school loans. 2:my estimate in the usa a starting job getting you around 35/45k, after a few years 60-80k depending on a lot of factors. 3: titles are studio specific but usualy follow… -
Re: Anyone still using 3dsmax 2009?
Those posts are pretty obsolete and almost were back then right from the start... I brought the earthquake zbrush model into MAx 2009 and Max 2016 on the same machine ( GTX780/6 GB, i7-4930K 6 -core/32GB Ram ) . This lead to an 945MB file, about 6.5 mio polys, split into 8 seperate objects. Pure viewport performance in Max… -

Re: New monitor for real-time 3D art
If you have limited desk space, 2 Dell 23"s might be a good idea, they're pretty cheap and you can regularly get them around $230 each. Good quality e-IPS panel, not super high end but much much better than the crappy TN panels you'll get in pretty much anything cheaper. Only 1920x1080 not *1200 though. My wife has one of…
