Re: [Weekly Theme 4] Flips
Had another 45 minutes to spend on mine today. [vv]138300898[/vv] @Arturow - Looking good man, love the anticipation at the start, looking forward to seeing the completed version. @Derphouse - Cool poses, like Arturow said it would be good to see a final pose :) @KeenanBushWhack - I don't usually move the main control but… -
Re: Would a free 3D-art school be worth it?
A free course can't hurt, I think most people problem with it is that in the states those courses are generally very predatory, for profit schools like ai make up like 10%of all private student loans, but something like 45% of all private defaulting loans, because the kids can't find the promised jobs on graduation and end… -
Re: UDK - Material - Eye - UV Dilation/Expansion from Center
Simplest way I can think of in 45 seconds: use a simple greyscale texture to paint where the pupil is white. have it falloff/feather so its like a bright phong highlight covering the iris. Make sure the parts you don't want to scale are black. not dark. Black. Multiply a scalar parameter, called say, "iris" by this… -
Re: Why I Hate Demo Reels
@littleclaude I figured this was for characters. If an environment has a lot of interesting moving sections, I would absolutely love to see a short 30 second video running through it. I wouldn't put all environments in 1 reel but a 30 second video per project is perfect. There have been plenty of awesome environments that… -
Re: CGWorkshops Are They Worth it?
I took the lookdev class and it was not worth it. It is around $600 for one class, which is absurd. You can get all basic info on these programs and practices for $45 at Digital Tutors or Gnomon DVD's. Anything technically advanced can be learned at FHPHD for 1/3 of the cost. You get THREE classes for $500 rather than just… -
Re: Devil May Cry 4
I don't know what the timing is... I just look at it as a bonus here and there to dish out major damage. I feel like it might be at the actual point of impact by your weapon. You can rev-trigger any attack. For the most part a majority of my max revving happens from after I do the aerial downward strike. I'm on Mission 15… -
Re: rigging help!
Another tip, you can move around edges on the base mesh while it's posed if you're having trouble figuring out how to lay them out. Also, keep in mind how the character needs to deform. Ask yourself if it's really necessary for the model to kick its leg back 45 degrees at the butt? That's really a compound motion of the… -
Re: vaulted ceiling
You can also do it like this: Start of with a basic cylinder with plenty of sides. Delete both end caps and half of the cylinder. Extrude the bottom edges. Create two slices at opposite 45 degree angles. Delete the end polygons. You should know have something like this: Now center the pivot on the end vert, clone and… -
Re: Nvidia Tesla - anyone used it?
It looks like they're pretty pricey - about $1500 per GPU, up to $12000 for a 4xGPU server rack. I suppose if you're doing a done of lighting, that's not too bad overall, for the project. Was reading an article on tomshardware from a medical firm, though it's a bit old [2008]. They were using 16x Core2Duo CPU's to render… -
Re: NEW CAR
[ QUOTE ] so what's the top speed on this bad boy? ever take it off any sweet jumps? [/ QUOTE ] I realize that you are joking but you would be surprised at how much power these cars actually have. Right after we bought ours my wife and I drove it from Portland down to SF to visit her family. I was blowing past people going…
