Sugarsync The best backup solution I've encountered by far - automatically syncs and backs up folders/files, and can sync over multiple computers, so if you need between labtop/desktop or home/work. Also starts with five gigs free - up to an additional 750 mb free and runs deals often, I've got the 30 gig of storage for…
Ok thanks kodde! I had a feeling it was something to do with ambient lighting or within the shader itself. So i've set it up at .75 ambient color and .25 diffuse with 1 directional light, white and intensity 1.0 with Spec map applied and a few tweaks to the Diffuse, mainly toning down scratches so they're picked up in the…
Looks great! 3.6k is quite high depending on what it's for but if it's for a portfolio I'd personally give it more tris. I had to shrink the image down to 25% before I couldn't easily notice the lack of sides on the cylinders any more. I know there are a lot of conflicting opinions about tricount in portfolios. I don't…
When I was serious about fitness, I found that biking was the best. 8 miles a day for work and then on my off day i would do a 25 mile ride broken in half with an hour stop. Running on pavement destroys your knees. Running/jogging on grass is more difficult, but easier on the legs. Yoga for overall flexibility. A healthy…
Intuos tablets are pretty do-able. They run around $100 but are often on sale for 25%-50%. Since substance is pretty heavy on your computer id recommend getting photoshop for hand painting. There is also an amazingly well made tutorial by Marc Brunet on Cubebrush that goes over making a stylized character using baked…
Thanks for your feedback guys. @oxblood Just started textureing the rifle so its just a wood overlay and base colors for now :) Here's some progress on the head I'm finding it difficult to add too much definitions to his face with making him look very old. Kinda wanna keep him looking 25-30 years old. I also tried…

Hello Spahr. Your car model is coming along very nicely. What I can see is that your edge flow seems efficient, not too many unneeded polys. I love the nurbs to poly method, thats how i learned to model a car in my class. So is 25-30k an average count for a ingame vehicle. My car was modeled with the intention of…
Im assuming your using photoshop, go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/saturation, set it to "colourise", add an orange hue and set it to around 25% saturation, also i'd lighten it up a little while you have the window open :) Thats what i did for all the bricks in my picture apart from the middle one which i painted, i wouldnt…

I recently updated my xnormal seems I had an the old version before.. so I click ray distance calculator let it run for 25 seconds and then choose copy results and then from there set map to 2K 4x anti aliasing and bake is that right…
