[ QUOTE ] I like the idea of startrek because it's historical exploration during the age of sail...set in space [/ QUOTE ] I'm not picking on you Grind, your quote just got me to thinking. That is Picard's Star Trek. While it is not nearly as much as a pussy whipped version as DS9 (still great story telling) and Voyager…
Glad the baby and your lady are safe. Sounds like you have a very smart and agile partner! Do something extra special for her this week. Just thinking about something like this happening to my wife gets my blood boiling. I am a biker and runner so close calls happen to me often. I have been hit a few times and seen people…
i talked to poop about this today and thought about it bit so i feel inclined to make some type of comment. For me it comes in waves. sometimes i am all go sometimes i dont want to do anything. right now i am organizing 2 HUGE projects for myself. so huge there is a chance i might not finish either. but i feel like its…
Hey everyone! I’m calling this environment finished now. =) This project started out as a simple idea but turned into a really fun deep dive into lighting, fog, mood, and scene readability. I learned a lot along the way, especially with Unreal’s exposure settings and how to shape a dark scene without losing clarity. Since…
Rigging something like this is mostly about looking at what you want to directly control, probably the top platform, and then working your way front the start and end of the chain to make that work. For this you'd start with the pistons and having a track to constraint have the top half of the piston looking at points…
Very nice :) this has a solid and clear story beat, and the scene has a
great foundation. As you continue refining it, consider pushing the secondary
storytelling details further. Adding personal items—such as photos, handwritten
notes, or scattered everyday tools—could hint at who lived here and deepen the
narrative.…
Interestingly enough, the only place I've ever worked that actually asked about or cared to see my high school diploma was when I worked for a high school as a night shift janitor. Everywhere else was more concerned with my credit scores. Honestly it seems to me like you've got a pretty good feel for what you need to do.…
My commute is about 10-15 minutes from Foster City which is the adjacent peninsula to Redwood Shores. Like Redwood Shores this can be a pricey place ranging from about 1400/month for a studio and up. I think rent is cheaper across the freeway in San Mateo proper and the surrounding areas, and I've seen some nicer deals…
Yeah its sad to here there are so many issues with the installation and DRM... hopefully you ll give this game a chance , I can say things get a lot more fun after 2-3 hours of play in single player, I agree tho that the learning curve is rough and the tutorial takes a while to complete. The missions are kind of repetitive…
Thanks everyone for the advice. I wasn't trying to avoid the proper workflow. I just rememeber someone telling me that just dropping in a fully built level was one option. He said you could build it piece by piece and place it all in maya. Then just import it in piece by piece and everything would still be in place. I'd…
