Generally I find it a lot easier to make the car body in one solid shell first, and model in everything before going into sub-d. This prevents issues later on if you need to make slight changes that are impossible with lots of support loops in there. As I model I build in the topology where the doors, panels, hood, ect are…
i recall that many people who got ahold of the early alpha leak of stalker a few years back recognized sounds being ripped off straight from Counter-strike. It wouldnt really surprise me, the notions of copyright infringement are nearly absent across the other side of the border. I would probably agree with Daz, that it…
You just slagged off the hard work that me and every one of my colleagues does on a daily basis making games, from a position of total ignorance. You're right, I shouldn't be annoyed about it, but you're really not going to endear yourself to the animation community if you act like that. Sorry if I came off a little worked…
hehe, it's that old guy off 3d.sk! I recognise him, I did a lowpoly model and 256x256 texture based off him a couple of years ago Pretty cool work. I'd probably try and push more depth into the mid-resolution details (some of the larger wrinkles could do with more definition for example), because at the moment it seems…
I overlayed ambient occlusion in the color but i think I may have taken it off for the spec. Im definitly gonna work more on the spec, maybe increase the levels to give it more contrast. I also want to do more to the color map to really set the metal off. HELP: I eventually want to do a turntable rotation but when i rotate…
I just picked up the Gungrave artbook (it's a series of two so-so shooters and an anime. I'm not a big anime fan but I love the hell out of the designer, who is the same guy who did Trigun, Yasuhiro Nightow) and it's got my juices flowing. I'd suggest you go find some cool concept art or screenshots of some interesting…
[ QUOTE ] Wow, after reading the police reports, it really becomes more than just goofing off. Spanking is one thing, I mean hell, we used to 'goose' the girls when I was in elementary school, but cupping their breasts and dry humping them? It almost sounded as if these kids aren't too far off from raping the girl. [/…
True. Then again since people discovered they could use a hex editor to turn various discrete mesh parts "off" and "on", people have been making meshes with upwards of 50k polygons worth of hidden "extras" so people can turn bits on and off to make costume variants - only the visible parts are actually rendered. I just…
At one point in history, it was attractive to be pale and fat (meaning rich and well off). Being tan meant you worked out side in the fields. People are attracted to the stigmas attached to the look more than the look itself. Being fat is now viewed as lazy and slob-ish, anyone that was well off would have enough time to…
Time for a much-needed update, methinks. :D For the coloured piece, some of the face's major structural lines were drawn in off a photo to begin with (cheating, I know. :P), then my weird stencil-shape-shading method took over. Throughout the process of painting the facial expression was changed (I'm not entirely happy…
