Re: Polyphasic sleep pattern
Unknowingly, I've kinda been doing this all year. To put it simply: I got a cat and its sleep cycle fucks with mine in terrible ways. I now get between 3.5 and 5 hours of sleep per night with insane consistency. So for the past ~8 months I've gone to bed at or very close to midnight and I have woken up between 3:30 and 5… -
Re: Degree Vs Self Taught
I was lucky, in the sense that I am not in debt. A local community college was offering an Associates degree in Simulation and Game Development so I took it. This gave me a balance from paying hardly anything, but still getting a small foundation from which to build on. It also gave me the opportunity to see if this is… -
Re: Game Unit Snapping For Modo To UDK
I did try setting snapping to fixed by 1024 and wasn't sure I could see the point? There is definitely some misunderstanding or miscommunication happening here that I would like to clear up. Now as best as I can tell this is your problem and solution: Modo's grid by default does not increase/decrease by the numbers you… -
Re: Car modeling help
Hi, are u planing for game asset or just high end car model? for high end model deleting edges after turbosmooth will surely give u headaches, Time to give you my 8 commandmends :D 1.

Re: PC build ~$1000
Since you don't have a aftermarket cooler in your shoping cart I assume you don't want to overclock. In this case you can go with a i7 4770 (saves ~$20) or a Xeon E3 1230v3 (if you can live without the iGPU, saves ~$70) as a CPU. You also don't need a Z87 board, go with H87 (saves ~90). The thermal compound is also not… -
Re: Guildwars 2 Stuffs!
I'm pretty sure beautyshots from the engine would work way better than the plastic looking shaders you just applied and i have no doubt the game will look great as a whole. But just for me to understand, and please don't take it offensive. A Creature like the worm or earthelemental, took 8 days to create, revisions and… -
Re: "Internships"
[ QUOTE ] ...otherwise I'd just keep doing what I do...I don't need the money but I don't need my time wasted either doing just free work. [/ QUOTE ] You say that, and not to say that this applies to you, but probably 95% of the Game Art people at my school who graduate either don't have actual studio jobs, or are… -
Re: Maya + Nvidia = potential for crash
[ QUOTE ] Ahh the wonders of new technology and making it all work together. I'm currently working with Unreal 3 here at work and the newest stuff from Epic really wants to be driven on the newest, 7000 series, Nvidia hardware. We installed new vid cards, 7800 and 7900's, throughout the team and we're all doing just… -
Re: Is there a limit to UDIMS?
This is one of those situations where there's a real distinction between 'can' and 'should' You absolutely can use 7 texture sets on the turret and there's no reason to not use 7 texture sets on the turret if your use case justifies it i.e its big and important and you're taking full advantage of the resources you're using… -
