Milage: ~1175 (forgot to check before I did more driving ) OK, up in Canada. I had a rather amusing experience at the border I'll tell the cannuckistanians about first and then tell the rest of you. Currently no wifi that I can leach off of here, but trying to push the relatives I'm staying with to get a broadband…
Interesting. Basically a giant greenhouse? I don't know if you intended to leave the outside area completely barren of colors but that reminds me of a lunar setting, cold lifeless gray landscape to contrast the inner lush green setting. I only have to ask, would players ever really get to see that? Per your theme layout it…
So, every tutorial I see people get good results with auto-weights but I’m getting complete abhorent results. My step-by-step is: * create rigify meta-rig; * place everything in edit mode. * generate rig, apply the transforms to the model and to the controller set. * selecting model and then controller set and parent with…
hey, I spent ages trying to get it right and no doubt it is a bit of a bodged way but ya know, it worked :) the low poly cage will no doubt give me a whole new set of problems when I come to make that :/ anyway, I started off with a 36 sided cylinder. I then made a 9 sided cylinder for the cartridge holes and rotated it…
[ QUOTE ] I have a degree-- in economics. This was because I realized there was nothing special about an art degree, but I still wanted an education. fact #1 Most art teachers are worse that you if you have any degree of skill. fact #2 Studio art classes are the most boring thing in the world. "Lets spend 3 hours drawing…
OK that is really weird... and it seems only to be doing it here, cause in the sketchbook it worked like normal. Hrm. @LalaD Thank you! Thought I was going nuts, heh. Ok here is what I wanted to post: (*) OK first off. I made a quick modern looking handplane to get an idea of how they work and are generally shaped. I…
@John: The settings for XNormal right off the bat are pretty lousy, for example, set your AO bake to something like Cosine within the 120-180 range. The default ones aren't that grand, it also doesn't help that most tutorials don't cover indepth these stuff and you need to read the PDF, which gets installed in the XN…
ha, the military channel. IEDs are not set off by pressure sensors, they're set off by guys with mobile phones. basically they strap a mobile phone to the bomb, with the vibrator on. and the vibration sets off the detonator. IED means improvised explosive device. its basically anything they can get their grubby hands on…
You're not an art machine (unless you actually are then I'm sorry your a robot) so don't get down for being human. It's natural to have a flow to things. Instead of fighting it and making bad art and not enjoying it, take a break. Watch movies, play games, paint, draw, and surf polycount is usually what I do when I get in…
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind and will focus on making others optimal for their purpose from the start. I think since my portfolio is already of few assets, I'll keep them as is for now and replace them with newer ones when i get the time.
