As we gear up for the next round on consoles, we are all looking at polycounts and texturs sizes. Now, I was wondering..... We like BIG textures - we can pack the detail in. But is it work it? In the UK, the standard TV resolution is 720x576 (HDTV is very uncommon here). If we start using 2 or 3 textures per character, all…
well, i've been playing Crimsonland solidly for the past 3 hours ... just one more go on survival mode, desperate to break the 10 minute barrier ... get back you zombie cocksuckers, bang! BANG! Bangbangbang! BOOM! Ha! And STAY back. i've torn myself away now, time for bed. But i'm sure that if i get 10 minutes in the…
Dang I never heard of that Eee box before (knew about the netbooks but not that). Tempting, and crazy cheap too! Thomas I tried an older gen Macbook Pro for a few minutes the other day (metal case) and it had a fullsize DVI plug on it's right side. I am not familiar with the mini dvi format so I did not spot it on the…
A quick rejig of placement/proportions with the Liquify tool: Paintover to correct some lumpiness, incorrect plane changes and missing planes Redline for clarification. Compare the plain liquify one with your original screen directly, they should fit over the top of one another. Also, for reference on how that normal stuff…
Yes it's not a rule, but just matching aesthetics without a clear purpose seems a good way to waste time, or simply train in modeling.. yes you may get "happy accidents" but still you should have a clear idea in mind even if you start the exploration part with modeling directly (maybe you can't draw)... and the research…
An uninspired game based on the biggest cashcow in recent history flops and they make a sequel that also flops, everyone gets fired. Anyone know who pushes for these things? sequels to games that didnt get get the best reviews and didn't sell well? Is it really all up to producers?
I was recently told I've gotten the job of a 3D junior artist at a triple A studio, I'm excited but extremely scared now. I have NOT lied and told them I can do this and that, but they aren't aware of everything I'm not fully confident in. I mean I didn't sit in the interview listing off my weaknesses because that seemed…
Thank you for the suggestions! I actually started with porthole windows, but opted for larger ones to add more color to the scene. but I totally get your point, I will take another look to see if I can get a more aquatic feeling solution. The reference you provided is super helpful. I have been getting more comfortable…
Hey guys, I'm working on a chisel box set for an art test. So the pressures on and I gotta get all my UV's, normals and textures done by this week. Here's what Ive got so far, everything modeled both in hi and low (Except the box but I'll get to that) So tonight, I wanna get to retoplogise the box, and then UV and even…
Hello guys, I want to start modeling a tank and therefore, I need blueprints. This is the tank I chose. And this... [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxTtcOp2m5Q"]this[/ame] is the way I prepare my blueprints in Photoshop. When I'm ready, I set them up in Max by using a little blueprint-script (the one Xoliul made).…
