Got a little into texturing. Started seeing some areas needing improvement. Enough to warrant a bit of backpedaling. The normal and AO maps worked, but they weren't perfect. So I needed to open the mouth more and spread the toes more to eliminate some small errors in there. Since I had to go back into Zbrush to do that, I…
First you had to get red, green, and blue pigments. I usually used grass or local berries found around my yard. During the winter it had to be blood. So for something like a barn, you'd shove some toothpicks and blood into your floppy disc drive and MS Paint would do the rest. A lot of texture artists went to jail after…
I'm very happy that this project has received a good deal of praise. I really want to take this look further now with another project. EDIT: Ged: I used a LOT of strip textures for this project (sheets with thin strips that can tile). Only a few props use unique texture sheets. Famouz: I have always been inspired by…
[ QUOTE ] Make sure you get a Barton one though, they are awesome overclockers. I had a 2500+ that I whacked up to 3200+ speed with the stock cooler [/ QUOTE ] Did the same thing with my last comp , though had an aftermarket air cooler. But that doesn't compare to the overclockign potential of the 6300 core duo.…
If you read around on the net you can find various info from users regarding mudboxes potential superiority over zbrush. From what I have read it is: a. Much more intuitive to use. People have been quoted as just sitting down and sculpting how they like within minutes, no manuals required, supposedly it is just that…
Aye, I've hit the "Never Stream" option quite a few times! Some other food for thought: - Are your your textures mipped down in the Generic Browser? If you are working in one area of a level, I believe textures from another area of the level will be mipped down to their lowest level if not seen onscreen for X amount of…
Thank you so much for all the love. My ego... omg. So hard to be humble. So happy you guys like the ship. :3 @Zpanzer: I'll get a clay render done once I'm done withe the LP. I wanna hit that milestone before I do anything else. @Shanthosa: you make a very good point. I actually had tried to add panels in the back near the…
Ah no worries :D yeah had me baffled for a bit! haha. Cheers mate :) After a bit more digging around online, I think I found the ideal weapons I'd like to have on this - the GAU-8 Avenger ( http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/211/8/9/gau_8_avenger_by_flyboy008-d4268aw.jpg ) It's used on the A-10 - actually the aircraft…
I love to pc game because of the controls. I prefer mouse and keyboard. It has nothing to do with WHAT games im playing. Though, I tend to play the games that mouse and keyboard are way better. Such as starcraft 2 or diablo. Dungeon defenders. or really, any RTS. You need an annoying setup to be able to play true PC games…
Eh, not really because you're assuming everyone who pirates a game 1. Likes it and 2. plays it to completion or worth the price of the game. Trust, turning the game on isn't worth $60. I highly doubt a developer cares if someone pirated their game, played it for 5 minutes and never again. I know people who download games…
