long post sorry in advance, thats all I'm looking for really something that may bring in some cash every now and then - basically to cover my hosting costs for my portfolio (which isn't that much) but would be nice to cover. Yep I've read through that thread, he has some pretty nice work but I dont have enough web…
Hi Yamsha, I think Kaktuzlime summed it up pretty great. One thought about doing portfolio work to get an indie job. I worked as a 3d artist doing hand painted stuff for the first 3 years of my career (I too wanted to become a concept artist doing sci fi stuff). It was pretty fun and working at small studios gave me a…
@NoRank Here's a list detailing where Mesh Decals are at at the moment. It's written by Tim Hobson at the UE answers forum. It seems to be a sort order/early Z-buffer pass issue. Here are the limitations that I'm aware of. Areas tested with mesh decals: * DBuffer and non DBuffer decals * emissive * WPO * Static and…
Paintova powa! Haha yep I think you are right guys. But I also should have said that this was a userview screengrab, oops It's a hard balance to find really, and I agree with the points you are both raising with the pictures. I just don't want to make her too childish - instead of a complete young package I'd love to give…
Well yeah when I mentioned Lucas wanting the movie to feel darker, the storyline was exactly what I was refering to, not look at all. What Im ultimately asking is, how can you make a movie that feels 'dark' in mood when the acting is so hammy and the dialog so cheezy and unbelievable? Events on the Nostromo in 'ALIEN' are…
Gwot: I personally don't see books, films and music as being all about content. There are those that are content to treat it as such and buy their mp3's, video and e-books online, but then there are those who appreciate the full package as well. Games used to be more of a full package, the way I remember it. Or at least a…
"The lid: i am still getting the tiny triangle like you see in my previous post..could this mean that the size of the high poly is wrong? or could i paint out the triangles? Even when i change the uvs of the lid like you guys said i am still getting a weird normal map result on the edges of the lid?" Its hard to see…
I couldnt figure it out straight away, I assumed it was something to do with islands being cut out and joining together, the top left shape kind of resembles the shape of great britain (in a totally abstract and awkward way). The other 3 chunks dont really resemble anything though. So I googled it, it actually says "2012".…
Yeah the mice only do 2 axis, however This one comes with gesture recognition software, so its not like revolution style controls could not have been included in a pc title by now. Its just non standard equipment. Also the name change bothers me, and puts the new system further down the "To get at some point" list. Its not…
I agree wth Yazora overclockers are great and they hav a forum too and you can read up on all the tech stuff first. I just did an upgrade with parts from them. Its not that complicated really, it just takes a bit of reading up. you should be able to get your money back, or at the very least they should swap the parts for…
