Re: To industry vets only:)...Please
I see these: "need stability financially and in terms of lifestyle" and "I know that I'm not prepared to move from state to state every few years for the sake of work. Nor am I willing to stomach months of unemployment" And I immediately think that, unfortunately, games may not be the best thing for you at this point in… -
Re: Achieving Realistic Look
That number is the average luminance of the scene, which is the "intensity of light being emitted from a surface." Using a pure white, no specular material on a plane perpendicular to the light direction helps get the brightest value from the scene, which is what we're basing all of this on. Make sure you have all other… -
Re: Using Macros in 3ds Max
Perfect, could you try if this works for you when you select an object and run it (paste it in the Maxscript editor and press ctrl+E)? ePoly = $.modifiers[#Edit_Poly] -- alias, for convenience setCommandPanelTaskMode #modify -- switch to Modify panel so that we can enter subobject mode subObjectLevel = 2 -- go to edge mode… -
Re: no games use coloured specular
Yes this is plausible (as long as you have a sensible pipeline workflow way of getting the "colour" information out as a single channel of range 0-255... I guess you'd just compress the Hue range down from 0-359 and lose a little precision), it'd mean you could use a DXT1 instead of a DXT5. However you'd also lose… -
Re: Animation Lip Sync-Need Critiques
Looking good, keep it up. As for the length it really depends on perspective. In feature films typically people do about 5-10 seconds per week working 40hrs, sometimes less sometimes more. For this I would say a pro could do 10 seconds per week on this level of action someone a little less experienced 5 and someone just… -
Re: US Gov Sues The Art Institutes
I went to AI Seattle, back in the early-mid 2000's when the industry was booming and the big deal was having a degree to get your foot into the job field (something I now know to be bullshit, but EVERYBODY told my 19-year-old self that). I had some good teachers and some bad teachers, and lots of well-meaning and competent… -
Re: [project] Icebergs
well, lot of hard work done this weekend. Now I'm not alone, and we are three: me, a programmer and a concept artist! Now this is a group and we've got responsability because we expect from each other so hopefully we will make a good team. For now, we are setting on the demo for kickstarter. If you want to make a good… -
Re: Computer Tune Up
Doubt there are any mobos that support x2 5000, but dont have PCI-E. Get the extra 2GB of ram, should run you $50 or so. Then upgrade that videocard, for about $80-90 you can get a 9600 GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Description=9600%20gt&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&Order=RATING $100-120… -

Designing stuff - basics, how to approach the entire thing
So after 2,5+ years of studying 3d I got a job in the industry and can make some ok stuff. But until this moment what I was mostly doing is using blueprints or good references and modelling very closely to them. The only thing I did myself was this crossbow and vials and I'm not thrilled with results + the process was…
