You're on the right track. Texture-wise, I'd suggest you play around with the specular maps some more. Have a look at some wood-grain alphas like this one: http://www.creativecrash.com/system/photos/000/011/555/11555/big/screen1.jpg?1251121141 You could also use that to develop a normal map on your model. If you have a…
Heh, my embarrassing stuff is from 2002-2006 and some of it actually still holds up. Your embarrassing stuff is from last week and has always sucked. If you want to challenge me to a mini-comp just say the word, otherwise you might want to take your own advice. If you wanted to compare resumes we can... I've had a job in…
Hello @mccartm6 - You could try looking at the 3Dconnection Spacenavigator. http://www.3dconnexion.fr/products/spacemouse/spacenavigator.html It would allow you to navigate your 3d scenes using only one hand - and doing so in a very smooth, deliberate manner.

Careful now. Disney were responsible for Spectrobes, Turok and Pure in recent years. Most of their games are however tie-ins with their other franchises however. Disney's handling of Pixar was always very shady. They commissioned Toy Story 2 under their direction, but it was turning out shit and was going to be canned…
yeah the nintendo is the coolest one so far.. the design of the console is top notch and i see it matching well with any entertainment setup.. while i dont think i could find the right combination of curvy swurvy electronics to match the confusing concave design of the xbox, and changing faceplates dosent make up for the…
That's the Spring (horribly unoptimized RTS engine) forums, they're holding a modeling competition to get some freely available models for all mods and this Optimus Prime guy claims that the polygon* limit of 1k per model is way too low (keep in mind this engine does not support LODs) and that it should be raised to 8k so…
Update: + Tweaked her nose. + Adjusted her clothing. Update: + Retouched her lips + Tweaked eyelids + Added eyelashes Repost: Comparing to his original concepts (posted above earlier) he lacks + lacks the elliptical eyes, which I feel will be implausible to pull off. His eyes would have to big enough to adjust his eyeslids…
Hey CG Amanra, I'll be totally honest and I think your thumbnails are way too vague to really give any sort of directional feedback, and I'm usually pretty good with reading scribbles. A couple of them I can see some things, but I think a liiiiiiiittle more clean up and maybe a 3 value composition breakup would help give…

My impressions: + Sony nailed the social aspects and improvements, coming up with some interesting uses of cloud to enhance them + That said, it's pretty clear the Gaikai thing isn't ready and will take awhile, rolling out in phases. I believe even David Perry said it during the presentation + Most of the stuff were target…
