WIP- Van Halfling
Well, finally after much deliberation and distraction i've found my way into a course (Cert @ AIE in Aus), meaning i've finally got some sweet lovin' time in with 3D Max. So please, for the love of god help me get better. Oh and *waves to Jackablade*, the man always speaks so highly of the place and the denizens that… -

Re: Compensation for crunch in the games industry?
this is a standard at some workplaces. crunch in some form will be a part of the vast majority of game jobs. excessive crunch will be a part of jobs with poor managers. where i work now i've been here a year and have had no forced crunches. I have put in extra hours myself when i've felt i've fell behind on a project. but… -
Re: Portfolio jan kudrnac
solid work you have there. I think your best looking pieces are: Ford Mustang colt 1911 zil 135 The Ford should be displayed in more detail: Different angles, close up shots. I suggest you drop the racing environment. The whole scene looks very dated and is by far not up to the standards your other assets are suggesting.… -
Re: 3Ds Max 2012 sneak peek
Yea the curve editor still kills FPS for me too, there are times I would love to see 3fps. Here are the results of my tests on my work machine (a below average machine), with a 100k tri mesh. Vista 64bit Ultimate i5 2.67GHz 8gb RAM GeForce GT 240 (I'll test it at home tonight which is a lot beefier system) Realistic… -

Incidentally, if you guys think 60 is high, down here in AU… -
Re: New Laptop
OK, so I am in a chatty mood this morning, here are my thoughts on laptops: Laptops were designed for a purpose: portability. The hardware is really designed more for working in short bursts while you are away from your desktop. That being said, there are some really beefy laptops out there, however, the price you pay (and… -
Re: Graphic Design Hero: Tells off Craigslist
I still get the odd email asking my to make models/textures for people - for mods or for personal use (people still play quake) I simply reply stating that a model will cost £500 untextured, £750 textured, and texturing an existing model will be £300. 99% of the time I get an incredulous reply along the lines of "WTF!!!111… -
Re: Intuos or graphire???
The levels of pressure sensitivity isn't a big difference. Intuos have 1024, graphire's 512. 512 is plenty, you still get perfectly smooth brush strokes. What you may notice is the difference in tablet resolution, or lines per inch (LPI). The intuos3 had a huge upgrade in the LPI. The intuos2 had 2540 LPI, but the intuos3…
