Re: Stryker ICV
if this is a stryker, then i'm an explosive sockpuppet. the colour choice is garish, there's no stowage and random stuff on top of it to make it look more interesting, the dirt is random, and doesn't make any sense, and any semblance of accuracy has been thrown out the window with the bathwater. if i made a model like… -
Re: Halp!? Best laptop for 3D
i bought a custom build from scan, came to £909 including delivery, and it's awesome. http://3xs.scan.co.uk/configurator/3xs-graphite-lg175 i upgraded to the i7 4700mq, added a 128gb mSATA ssd, removed the OS and other software (as i have my own OS disc). it's been really nice so far and i have no regrets about it at all,… -
Re: Rebel Soldier W.I.P.
Next time you do a base mesh, an easy way to make a good start on the proportions is to use the head to measure everything else. the shins and thighs should be about 2 heads each, the hands should be about as big as the face, the height should be 8 heads high. This is just a very basic way to make a good start and of… -
Re: Sketchbook: SsSandu_C
I finished my entry for the Creature Planes challenge(Classic Monsters) on CGhub. I chose the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Zbrush Sculpt: I then went and made a low poly and made a normal map. with diffuse: The polycount is rather big for a model like this. It is around 13 000 tris. I didnt spend time on optimizing it.… -

Re: Mouse for Digital Artists
I've been using microsoft wheel mouse optical at home and at work since 2004. I can't use any other mouse this thing has been out of print for so long, they replaced it with some crappy new version that is a weird shape and the buttons don't click right. I've gone online and bought a backup mouse just in case my work mouse… -
Re: WIP - Abandoned Execution Chamber
So basically i need to connect the equal point on both side up and over the top of the mesh. I have max 10 but stick to 2009 due to comfort. I need to learn the new graphite modeling tools. Can any tool slice/connect up and over like that. Quickslice i think? Also can anyone link me to a pic of an arch's wireframe. Id like… -
Re: A skateboard
This is a really nice piece! I'm really digging the materials :) The texturing looks pretty spot on, but I have a couple of suggestions. Unless they are new wheels, I think they could be a bit dirtier, like these; http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/skateboard-wheels.jpg And secondly I think there… -
Re: What (in your experience) gives better bakes?
Yep, just re-read my sentence, oops, silly me. I meant to say that unless you have programmers who know their stuff and what they're doing with Normals and the engine, why not go with XN? I agree, it's super fast, especially when compared to (in my case) Max, which takes ages for even a basic bake, unless you use 2009,… -
Re: Announcing Galactic Bowling!!
I finally got permission to post some very old work (January 2009!) online :) . Here's the monkey character I created for the supposed Galactic Bowling sequel (which I think never aired ;) ). So, in stead of creating a new thread for very old work, I decided to put it up here. EDIT: oh crap, the texture is actually 512! I…
