i finally got a cross polarized setup working. i had a bunch of gear already, but I invested another $300 to get it setup. i'm using one camera, a nikon d810 with a nikon 105mm macro lenes along with a nikon sb700 flash and a nikon sb900 flash. i already had this gear so the cost to get the polarized setup wasn't all that…
I didnt say anything about you making enemy ZacD, I like your crits and looking forward to have you crit on my work so I can fine-tune my own stuff. Your comments so far I've read are legit and give the original poster more to do on his character, or a scene. I apologyze if you took any of my post as an offence. But ya I…
Then I wouldn't suggest a 17" That would be a PITA to carry around all day at school. You get better deals with the ATI cards and DX11 support. However you dont get the CUDA support of Nvidia. Here are some ideas (and you dont have to buy here, just examples). If you swallow the pill of ATI:…
not sure how polycount feels about seafood, but here's one of my all-time favorites. it's based on a recipe by Johannes King who originally made it with snails (yuck) as a sauce for a grey mullet. since i don't like snails and don't always have grey mullet or any other fresh fish filet around i use it as a spaghetti sauce.…
Wow, I mearly meant this as a jumping off point. So far I've learned that 'noob' is not an accepted expression anymore (even though I was trying being cheeky), and anime is not that much respected. This instant induction of Game Art culture has been shocking. It's a good thing I suppose. In years past, I've had so many…
Hi Dasha, I hope you had a good weekend. Yes there is nothing wrong about experimenting. In fact, taking older projects and testing out new ways to light, render and animate them is great research and dev. That's usually what I do. Sometimes trying to isolate one aspect of study is the best way to evaluate it, especially…
Looking for skilled 3d people who use 3dsMax v7.x+ and/or Photoshop for use in building models from concepts. These will then be rigged, textured and animated (by yourself if desired) and imported into the game, Dawn of War. Models usually range from standard units (3000-3500 polys) to unique ones (5-7k+ polys). Bipeds…
I know its been a while since i last posted about this scene, i haven't gotten very far since the last post but i did change a few things. I know the main issue was the building, it was just a plain box. Well i scrapped the whole barn and started to make a structure piece by piece. then i added boards and now it looks more…
Well, the decision has been made.. I've kicked it around for so long but finally... June 25th will be my last day of full time 40 hour a week work for a couple semesters. In July, I'll continue going to school full time maybe pick up an extra class or two in hopes of finishing school a bit sooner.. The time I'm taking from…
