Day 17: Bolt Carrier and Ejection port These images are all in wire frame because they are Boolean operands inside the upper. I think for the main subtraction the boxed-spline I have going around the edge will work fine to bevel. These pieces aren't finished. I have developed a technique to create objects that have…
Yeah, ferns tend to grow in swarms. As in this image: (quite large, so I didn't embed it) http://gardenblog.winterthur.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/march-bank-ferns-7-17-2008-kls.jpg Otherwise, I like it. Things feel sort of flat though. Do you have spec-maps for the props? Also, the lighting itself feels quite flat too.…
[ QUOTE ] Make sure you get a Barton one though, they are awesome overclockers. I had a 2500+ that I whacked up to 3200+ speed with the stock cooler [/ QUOTE ] Did the same thing with my last comp , though had an aftermarket air cooler. But that doesn't compare to the overclockign potential of the 6300 core duo.…
I don't know if that is a hidden stab at comments I'd made but I'll clarify what I meant anyway. I couldn't care less about how many milliseconds my game is running behind, I know some FPS players are kinda anal about it, but there's that kind of lag, and then there's the lag that ruins all games. NFS or Gran Turismo for…
Tried out the Win 10 Tech Preview on an old Macbook Air result wasn't pretty. I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out eventually. On my Mac Mini it runs OK. (no insane overheating issues) but I can't stand the sluggish start menu. It keeps on trying to load up search results from the internet which might be the problem. The…
I really like what Slosh said.... I'm not a character artist but when I see what is being made by my co-workers you are far from your goal of landing that first job. I really don't mean to be rude or wtv, but you should work on textures/materials of your characters, like that goblin in your portfolio, the Zbrush is…
Then you need to start downloading Models and follow their topology. Basically, and follow the rendering skills you've learned from Maya tutorial. You can find such modeling tutorials on: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Maya/Modeling/1 http://www.3d-tutorial.com/tutorials.php?cat=17…
Hey guys, thanks for the replies and thanks for the kind words :) To answer some of your questions: The things discussed in the tutorial should be applicable to a majority of engines. Chapters 2-17, as Ace mentions, focus primarily on Max. Some of the engines might use different solution for creating wind movement, or…
Just because the ability to access your info exists doesn't necessitate that it will be abused. Look at how many people have access to your Social Security number. Do you trust those pencil-pushers down at the insurance company? Not that I'm not cynical, but the gist of Sal's link there was a chilling 'they could do it!'…
I don't really consider Dell's to be good deals anymore than I think apple products are. Try comparing it to a good brand that doesn't spend so much on advertising, like HP. Still my biggest complaint about Macs are the lack of good graphics cards. Laptops are awful in that regard, and to get a good 3d card in the mac pro…
