Re: 11 year Old "Anti-American"
[ QUOTE ] I don't really see what the major thing is with the US. (*This isn't a bash just an insight*). Pretty much everything is patroism.. Having to learn all 50 states, that general bullshit. [/ QUOTE ] Being expected to know basic national geography is patriotic bullshit? I pretty much attribute knowledge of the… -
Re: should bf2 be running so poorly?
I'd say that 128mb card may have something to do with it too. BF2 is a resource hog for sure. I disagree with 3D guy. It's a fantastic game. I have a 5500OC 256 with my AMD64 3200+ and although the settings are low it runs great. I get 35-50 FPS and have a blast. I ordered a 6800GT 256 card and now the game wil be at… -
Re: Nuts.
hehe this may sound evil but 7 million people isnt that much if you see it at a global scale. Also like mentioned in the articel it will hit the poor countrys the worst. Old people stand under a very high risk because their body cant resist a new virus like that. This virus killed 50 million people in the EU around 1918… -
Re: Here or CGHero?
Thank you for your input :) I'm happy to pay %50 upfront. Do you think $12000 would be enough to cover this project or should I keep saving? One caveat is I know some artists like to work at an hourly rate, whereas I was hoping to work based on a set price for each milestone. I'm just worried that if I go with an hourly… -
Re: First Zbrush character sculpt (Orc Bust): Looking for critique and feedback
I'm not an expert on anatomy (I'm still learning it myself), but might I suggest lowering the ear and try making it smaller (like 50% around the ear canal). The muscle underneath on the neck that is sticking out (sternocleidomastoid, AKA SCM) could be a little straighter and moved forward a bit more. Unless that is the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Oskar Reftel
thank you! i've started them all off by baking ambient occlusion of the meshes and using that as the base for the values in the diffuse. after that, there's a lot of layer effects like selective color, hue/saturation combined masks and so on. :P EDIT hey, i just saw that you gave the same comment to something up to 50… -
Re: [WIP] Nobilis Terra Strike Cruiser
The wings looking to bulky for a spaceship and have no real function. The shield at the side is a good choice for a combat ship but to small for visual impact and dont support the bridge. The ship is to flat and to long in my eyes. Has the ship lazors like the Enterprise or weapon turrets? Its important for the design so… -
Re: zBrush keeps dropping my hot keys + normal map question
I just use Hard Light. You can also use Overlay but then you need to reduce your blue channel by 50%. As far as I understand neither technique is 100% mathematically correct and can give some slight variation in results, but I find that Hard Light works for almost everything I've come across. And if you are just blending… -
Re: Ok 3 questions, Normals, AO, and UE3 Emissive
Mongrelman posted a link to this action by one of the Project Offset guys in this thread about combining normal maps. Using Crazy Bump really is the best way to combine normal maps because it takes into account the actual directions of the normals being combined. If you want to go the free route then that Project Offset… -
Re: DDO
Hi Rockley Can't remember what version this is, but yeah same here, i too haven't looked at DDo for some time now. Maybe time to catchup and purchase an updated version of the software, it's around 100$(us) for private and 50$ for student. Not totally out of reach, or be clever and wait for a while and purchase what is…
