Hey man looks like you have a nice start so far, there are definitely some nice details going on in the front of the vespa.

Re: OMG, Horrible Shadows and Renders in Max- Both Scanline/MR
after careful troubleshooting some more I think maybe I'm just trippin. I mocked up the same type of scene several times on 2 different PC's at school, an the same shadows persisted. I think just the angle of the light is not picking up the horizontal shadow on the opposite side like a real world scenario. IDK. -
Re: My job SUCKS.
I hate my job, I get paid nicely to surf the net and idle in irc. I'd rather actually be getting paid to do art and actually working. Thinking about quiting sometimes just so I can put myself behind the 8ball and do something, but the money keeps me sitting here day after day. -
Re: Normal map help
For the two parts in the middle I think that painting the default normal map blue over the parts in red should eliminate the problem. As for the outer parts, I think it's just how it's supposed to be, it's trying to make the edges of the object look a bit rounder which is what you're trying to achieve anyway. Doesn't… -
Re: BMW Progress/Problems

Re: UGO Buys 1UP
I thought they were still going to release the SF4 issue? I heard they may even just put it on PDF.

Re: Normal Map Pixelation??
Ok, rendered it out with Mental Ray and it still shows up exactly the same. I've only tried it on basic Maya shaders though but I haven't had problems with them in the past. Idk whats up with this I'm assuming something with the normal map itself. Guess I'll keep messing with render settings unless anyone has more ideas. -

Re: Applying to AAA a plus if already created games?
sold units do not equal relevant quality. say flappy bird or many of those idle games, have significant sales and make shittons of money. is the relevant to game art in a studio environment? No not at all. On the contrary a game could look very relevant to the studio you apply to but perform poorly in sales, that wouldn't…
