I'm using the high quality renderer so I can view the normal maps in real time. I've got an i7 processor and 16gb of RAM, and everything else is pretty new, so I don't think it's due to a lack of computer power. I just don't see why duplicating an object with a normal-mapped material applied and high quality viewport mode…
I think you missed my point. I wasn't saying depression is subjective. I was saying that what you experienced may not be the same manifestation of depression as what someone else with depression experiences. Just because yours was able to be assuaged by your iron-will doesn't mean someone else's depression would or could…
You're work's really amazing looking; your website is easy to navigate and presents your work quickly . . . The only thing I can say, and it's honestly more of a nitpick than anything, is that you use blue in your header and nowhere else Everything else is dark and white. The blue does attract the eye to the header, but I…
So, I'm not sure but I think you are not allowed to use someone else's concept unless it is official Riot concept art. It's considered teaming up if you use someone else's concept which is against the rules. If you want to do a unique skin, you're prob gonna have to do your own concept. I would double check this with the…
What I find helps me get out of a funk is to think I'm a worthless human being with zero creative talent and that I can't do anything right. If you start to feel better you just pile it on until you feel a lot worse. But seriously like Ferg said you probably need to do something else for a while and come back after a…
It's always good to plan out a model beforehand, but don't let yourself get too intimidated. You'll make mistakes, and you'll figure out ways around them [ QUOTE ] And using someone elses IP is pretty bad anyways. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure where you're getting this from. Nothing bad about using some else's IP if the…
I can see what you're saying about the shader and lighting stuff. I'm hoping I might get some help with that after everything else is done. I exported to UDK to get the scale of the glass case which I liked. Just can't get anything else to match it. I'll do the doorway and see if that helps. Is a character in UDK 128 UU? I…
Thanks so much for the Crits Boudreau! good catch on the ear I didn't even notice that, I'll def. tighten that up! I've got an update to Thor and I'll attach one of my reference pics as well so you can see somewhat what I was going for. Thanks again for the crit and anything else you see or anyone else catches would be…
Taking a whole year to work on your portfolio and nothing else seems stupid, especially considering the other problems that it would give you. If you needed to put together a portfolio and were doing nothing else in the meantime, it should take you a couple months tops. A month would probably be more than enough if you…
Has anyone else noticed that Maya 2011 seems to be rather sluggish in certain areas? I've noticed for instance when opening the Hypershader there is a slight delay compared to previous versions of Maya. Same thing with some other windows. Such as when clicking the small checkboard-icon next to a shader channel. The new…
