I've commuted about 2,000 miles in the past year and a half on my bike and I've used my Trek 3700 disc the entire way. I'd highly suggest it as it's a relatively cheap MTB that's capable of some speed and holds a lot of cargo. Hardtail is the only way to go if you're traveling on roads. You need that stiffness to avoid…
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning a 3D environment that fuses the dramatic natural setting of Petra (Jordan) with the ornate and rich Levantine architectural style. The vision is to build a narrow canyon path that leads to a large, impressive mosque structure, with a bazaar carved into the sides of the canyon walls along…
Once you just want to play out of habit or feel that you have to play, even though you don't enjoy it, you most probably have an addiction issue. Same can happen with other things like sports or alcohol of course. Playing games should always be fun and give you a good feeling, distract you from work and other troubles,…
lol, yeah this gets a bit strange-- Me: fart! God: Colloquial expression. Please elaborate. Me: did I fart? God: I don't think that's possibe. Me: but i have a bumhole God: Where did you get it? it. Me: arent you the creator? God: Yes I am the one and only creator. Me: well, shouldnt you know then? God: Well that's okay. I…
Hey thanks again for the extra info guys. I am going to get a new psu as I said and I am not sure what will I get yet. Thanks for all the explaining and reasoning. I have read almost every one of the threads about new computers over the past year and this is what got me familiar with what I would need. About the psu I am…
So I flipped on my new work machine, (its about 3mo old so I guess I can stop calling it that) and I get a nice little message "Failed to find bootable drive bla bla bla". Top it off is art freeze today. When I left yesterday it was copying files to the server, then set to render about 10,000 frames of animation. Hopefully…
Bit of a generalisation but I feel folks can get 'lost' when there isn't a voice from authority. When you've gone through the education and work system, I feel this is a natural feeling during your personal time. I say don't beat yourself up too much, you just need some structure and be proactive. I recommend small steps,…
I think the underlying problem with piracy, is that it's making many people firmly believe that games are not worth money. I think WoW and Battle.net were stellar examples of what games have to do to combat piracy, at the same time, I think it was just the first step. As we all know prohibition does NOT work. We can not…
When it comes to sounds I am not really happy with sound effects stop working in the middle of a fight. Half the shooting doesn't get played making it hard to keep the overview through out all the VFX blasting in your face. But here a prime example why this isn't about the artists and devs working on the game, but by the…
I'd say that you're focusing on the wrong fundamentals if you're saying you mainly want to get the mesh right for rigging. Right now the anatomy is very confusing and the poly distribution even more so. You should focus on building up a solid form before going apeshit with the polycount just so that you can get up to…
