I went to AIP..back in the stone ages..been out of school for 15 years and still paying for it...was it worth it: No. You can put together a kick ass portfolio and learn everything you need to know without putting yourself in debt... just my 2 cents..there is a forum full of differing opinions on the subject
So, a little update! Still not finished and not really satisfied to be honest .-. I changed the shape a bit and played around with the lightning. Gonna add some more candles and wax dripping down the stones to make it look a little bit more intresting to look at. Still have to fix the textures but wanted to make a update…
looking better now only thing that disturbed me was the part where you mentioned you turned down the reflections of the water i was like "wtf, where´s the water?" after looking through every render again i realized that the sand in between the stones is the water :) but overall its looking really good
Try making carl eat about 10 happy meals and he throws up green puke. I made a fortune in the bar( about 1000 dollars) by killing all the other dancers/clubbers and stealing their money. They keep on respawning. what fun!!! liked the voodoo ray track and 'fools gold' by the stone roses
Heh, I know how you feel... trying to get my site to look right on IE6 was like getting blood from a stone ... it's still not 100% right actually but AFAIK there's no way to fix the problem with mine in IE6. Fortunately it's not really noticeable unless you have Firefox and IE open side by side.
Well, I think that is partly because the current vehicle to play the majority of games (consoles) isn't exactly set up perfectly to switch over to online authorization. The online authorization and downloading of content happened after the current generation of consoles was designed and the business plan was to sell…
actually i would stick with rather eloborate bridges since the architecture of the buildings is very elaborate too. Remember these buildings are build and rebuild all couple of decades thanks to wood so the material has to get there in a safe and relieable matter and this wouldn't be the first example where the buildings…
If you want to get that rough rock look and don't want to pay for oren nayar then a half lambert with a diffuse power can be pretty close. Or adding a subtle fresnel to the diffuse calculation could be good. I noticed a lot of the Darksiders breakable stone urns have a little fresnel that helps soften them and fit in with…
Who do we have to bribe to get an extension on the deadline ? :D We can't move the deadline at all unfortunately. the polycount contest schedule is set in stone. Keep in mind however, if your submission misses the deadline, it will still potentially be considered to be put in the game later down the road, so go ahead and…
Yeah the dirt is too brown and overall the scene is too saturated. Modelling looks good but the texturing and lighting is letting it down. That gold letterbox is too perfect, and isn't reflecting anything. Is this realtime? Cubemap or reflection vector might help. Wear on the surrounding stone will help, and get rid of…
