thanks for the overpaint, i might not have made the shadow that strong but yeah i agree thanks but thats too easy to say, we are zusing tesselation in UDK which is close to not usable at all in a game environment, for us its easy right now to max out stuff, without having to care tooooo much about performance at this…
Just throwing this out there... Shuffle things around a bit and compact it a hair, this also mimics the caddies a bit by placing the options and buttons in roughly the same configuration. Might seem a bit more familiar to some people? I'm not sure how many options are in smoothing, but you might be able to do that with a…
Same situation. Done with Maya and Autodesk in general, and working on transitioning out of Maya into Houdini for general 3d work, for modeling I've fallen in love with MoI, it is however a NURBS modeler, but it's on a whole different level and doesn't have the difficulty issues usually associated with NURBS. Best…
As someone who very recently graduated, and looking at all the debt I'm in, and honestly the education isn't any better than one you can get online. To back it up: Year subscription to Gnomon: 400-500? Too lazy to look it up Year subscription to Digital Tutors: 300-400? Professional critique and networking via polycount:…
!!!!RISE FROM THE DEAD!!!! Holyshit it's already been a year what the fuck. It's time to go 3d with this shit! I wasn't really going to show this stuff to anyone, so I'm sorry for the messyness! Lets get this shit show on the road! I just happened to be sculpting some random skull yesterday and figured I'd give this…
Overall, it's nice, but it lack of punch. I defenitely think that a scene of that kind need to be more localized. What I mean is for the moment, your arena fight looks in the middle of nowhere...floating in the sky. An EPIC background is needed to make your scene more valuable...some fantasy mountains covering up this big…
Honestly, LODs are something anyone can do, I dont think its necessary to show an LOD for every model in your portfolio, I don't see why a grenade is somehow different. I don't think many people reviewing portfolios are stressing whether or not an artist can do lods. Its not like doing LODs is something you just…
GLSL is good because is very portable(multivendor, multiplatform)... but is lacking a bit currently because does not have an "effect" system like HLSL. Also is a bit buggy sometimes(due to the different compiler implementation of the different IHVs). I think we need to wait for OpenGL 3.0 to solve some design…
I see your in canada as well as me. I highly suggest you look into an incorporated company if you are going to be doing any longish term contracting. I have done contracting work as a sole proprietor and as an INC company (computer technician). My numbered company lets me write off all kinds of things, including some…
