Re: Will more game art positions become availiable in the future?
outsourcing to the third world only goes so far though, i've had quite a few clients turn me down based on my prices, then come back to me to clean up stuff they've had done for ultra cheap in some far off land, and by the time it was usable the client would have been better off just coming to me in the first place (and… -
Re: Longest span you have been Unemployed?
i have been lucky enough that the couple times ive been laid off i either had a new job lined up within an hour or so of the layoff or so or the other time I had a week or so of unpaid downtime between jobs after inking a new deal a couple days after being laid off. I guess you could say I have been lucky, but its also a… -
Re: Realistic Textures - Need help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lJ33FqZGbQ That is a decent start off. Although it uses Maya instead of Max. Texturing can be tricky to start off with. With texturing you have to find a decent workflow for making different materials like metal or wood. You might benefit if you can use a sculpting package to give you… -
Re: Samaritan Revolver
Final Gather and Global Illumination Some advanced lighting options kind of waste for renders like this honestly they're more for bouncing around colors carried by light and smoothing it out. Not really optimal for showing off your modeling because it can increase your render time a lot. I had a link for a nice shader that… -
Re: Learning Maya - Wondering bout few things.
Murdoc, I've had the same issue. I'm not sure how 2012 is, I'm using 2011 atm. But it should work if you tick off the box at the top in 'Edit Mesh' menu saying "Keep Faces Together" in Polygon Module, then select the faces, hit extrude and drag away from the surface which pivot is attached to. Piccy below show the box to… -
Re: Blocking a female samurai character. Some anatomy help would be really nice.
I'm not quite sure what action your character is about to do. Lunging? Running? Jumping? The weight is off at the hip. The current pose reminds me of how someone (sorry for the graphic description) would run if they were about to shart their pants and trying to hold it in. The duck waddle run. The right hip should be lower… -
Re: NVil(1.0) Released
And another question: I want to set subobject selection up to be more like my Silo setup. Much like now number keys select the different modes (vert/edge/face/object), but when you go into one of them it turns off multi-selection untill I press space and it deselects and turns multi-selection back on. It's a small change,… -
Re: Tabletop and a shader question
Some of your shaders seem a bit off. The Metal on the aluminum looks like it's white plastic. The compositing values seem completely off between the table and the brick background (are you using a photo for a background image?) The light looks like it should be coming from the window, but the lightsource, shadows, and… -
Re: Pc help
You may have actually blown crap into your ports, before you pushed the cards back in. A good card design should not fail because of using the wrong plug, especially if there is a different 'standard' adapter that could work. For future reference, I wouldn't remove anything to blow out the crap. It doesn't matter if you… -
Re: Epic Games China!!?? lets support communism?
I'm sure Epic wouldn't hang their hat on a fly-by-night operation that puts out crap. Honestly the end customer will more than likely not see a differenace other than the game won't be delayed for 6mo while they force thier staff into a hellish crunch, or worse yet hire a bunch of onsite contractors then lay them off as…
