Quick note about RAID, there are basically two configurations. RAID0: For speed, all of your drives get combined into one master drive. If you have 2 500gb drives in RAID0, your computer sees a 1tb HD. It also breaks up the data between the drives so you're data isn't stuck waiting in line on a single HD to get out of your…
The road so far: ^ Started with this idea of an ~ 60s inspired terminal, based on an old idea of mine. At that time I was not sure about the style direction. ^ Later iterations made the bread box more slicker, and gave it antennas. The mechanism for the screen made it rather bulky, when unfolded. ^ This was the last…
Some changes were just added: * Thread lists should be easier to read, less bold. Had to switch the titles to another font, also font is a bit smaller. The thread authors on the right are now green instead of white. * In Posts: usernames are now green, and show the proper case. * Ranks also show the proper case, are…
I just want to say thanks for all your help Xoliul, your critiques are really pushing me to do better. :) I tried putting blue in but I just couldn't get it. I read your powerpoint (well, looked at it, all the words are gone for some reason :\ ). Here's the new spec and some new renders. I think I'm pretty close now. I…
I think what he means by proficient is when you feel that your art, and the vision you had of your art when you set out to make it, matches or exceeds your expectations. As there are many ways to judge wether you`re proficient, I`d say the best definition is "when you feel you are". I`d say it vastly depends on wether what…
There was a recent thread on gdAlgorithms about how research papers are difficult to read, even for the academic audience they're targeting. Here's a good quote, from one of the guys at SCEA... [ QUOTE ] Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner, said the same thing about reading scientific papers - you read it through once and…
My experience on the 3D side of the industry is tangential at best so take this with a grain of salt. Besides picking a specialization you need to prune your portfolio from unrelated disciplines. If you're not angling for a position as a 2D artist don't include 2D artwork in it. Anything that doesn't contribute to your…
Your dirt and grunge need to tell a story: Check this out: http://www.visualphotos.com/photo/1x7776603/an_old_woman_standing_at_the_bus_stop_np01066251.jpg The concrete below is clearly cleaner/dryer (though still filthy) under the roof. Consider people sleeping/sitting/idling around in certain spots, leaning against…
Haven't updated the sketchbook in a while, and now I'm bringing it back with a UDK game, and documentation. First, a bit about the game currently titled 'Old Town'. Old Town is the confession of a serial killer. It's an Adventure Horror game built in UDK that takes place within a single city block. The player must explore…
Thanks guys! Lee3dee - Not really - I'm pretty mean to edgeloops and don't let them have any friends to talk to while working for me. Keep it pretty simple - and use them where needed, having a few extra loops here and there is fine but remember that wherever you put them your modifier will use those points as reference…
