Designing iconic characters is difficult. Especially in a world soaked with visual arts. Besides that is not the only concern in design, the character has to appear functional, for the same reason you dont draw ice picks on a desert dweller. In my case, designing a robot as a main character removes a lot of problems that…
Hey guys! So this week I set up a master material, continued to go through and replace simple blocks with simple models. This has helped me really try to envision my scene. I have also continued to mess with the lighting and applied some basic colors to help set the mood. I realized while I was going through this week…
You have pretty good stuff. Just two big things I have to say. - It's insanely long. I know it's a first pass and all but you have to trim it down to the 2 min mark. There are tons of effects that are too similar. For example the fountains, pick one to show cut the rest, they are very similar. - Second, I would add text on…
[ QUOTE ] ...so I expect it'll be absorbing to see in a theater... [/ QUOTE ] I think it's more absorbing to see it at the home theater. I commonly hear that "this is one you shouldn't miss on the big screen" but really what I find is that the theater is just a big pain in the ass. At the theater you have people that won't…

But anyway, to change hotkeys go to preferences /config/enable customise. Now hold ctrl+alt and a little message will pop up in the top left of the…

They work with polarized light so while you need glasses, they look…
well, like i said, my opinion isn't gospel but the explanation i gave was for how i would do it when developing xbox live arcade games (much tigther budgets because of the download limits). However, even then i would suggest its simple logic. If you have a building which takes up 4 times the amount of space as a lampost…
Wow, nice and clean. I see a few problems I have with it. Im running 1280x1024 and your main bar doesnt go completely across the screen. Set a table that expands with the screen and create a repeating background texture that should repeat the pattern of the main bar. You only have one piece in your 2d Gallery. Maybe…
Not sure how Carmack does it (i assume you mean the having a sheer amount of data visible, no matter what), however i thought about a method some months ago which should work (unfortunatelly my gfx card isn't powerful enough for this method). The idea is break the textures in subtextures, render the geometry without…
"Hahahahah, it's like Reefer Madness" hehe just recently i was at borders and found a dvd collection of 2 hours of 1950's educational films on sex and drugs, the crap those kids were fed. first one i saw was of a little boy and girl discussing drug and comparing it to other real life habits, and everytime they made the…
