I just dropped $500 on my rig. But I got a fairly large overhaul for that sum. I got a new motherboard, a new processor, a new power supply, new RAM, and a new video card. It's all lower-end brands (for the most part) but I'm actually quite satisfied with the performance I'm squeezing out of it. The motherboard is an Asus…
Hey man good to have you here Im a bit new to the PC community myself but here's my crit man. Druid: Its poly count is way out of control, Even for cinematic characters, it looks like you modeled every single feather on it. You could have gotten a pretty good result using a band of polys with an Alpha on it. It also looks…
Game design is all about working within your limitations and using the resources you have available. As of right now your resources are yourself and anybody willing to offer up their free time instead of devoting it to their own portfolios, personal projects or just fucking about all day. I'd drop the "massively" for now…
Drop it like its hot. i saw some of the last years show... considering I don't have tech tv or g4, is it all 1 channel now btw? anyways it looked dumb as hell, had absolutely nothing to do with video games had a bunch of "hot chicks" and rappers and other fake ass lamers, not that hot chicks are bad, but its a video game…
After doing next to nothing creative at work for the last 3 months, I've been having a blast getting back into mapping. Image_03 Image_04 Image_05 Image_06 Lift Aircraft Tug Main ref and inspiration Nothing like a little more ref to get things rolling... Basically its my take on 2fort. Instead of 2 forts built inches from…
Hello everyone This is the first time I publish my work on Polycount and I’m very honoured to be among all of you. I’m working on probably one of the least know DC airliner series, the Douglas DC-5. Some history The Douglas DC-5 was a 16-22 seat, twin-propeller aircraft intended for shorter routes than the DC-3 or DC-4.…
One of my teachers gave us an option to do the door from the starcraft 2 intro cg...he showed us some of his former student's work including this one...I'm going towards a steam punk-ish style for my starcraft door... What I can't seem to figure out is how he got the specular on the glossy surfaces to glow like actual…
The aircraft texture is missing quite a few details which you need to add before worrying about weathering. One major problem is the color scheme - I don't believe either the navy or the marines ever used the camouflage scheme, sticking instead to their standard light gray/white scheme. If you want to keep the colors, just…
It is partly up to you to make the design believable. You could have a flock of pigeons instead of a tail rotor and it would still work in many contexts. As for realism, at the moment I would say no. The fenestron design is way too weak at the moment to be feasible for such a large aircraft. I found the Kamov Ka-60 which…
It's not the fact that it's a 'wolf head profile' that warranted a DMCA. It's the fact that they literally lifted somebody else's art, their own stylized take on a wolf head and didn't even bother to let them know. A takedown was absolutely warranted. Deriving new designs from other ideas is a very common practice in…
