Sure, ther are alternate energy sources. The mayor problem though is that we have to have those fully implemented and in place by the time the oil 'runs out' (or to be more precise, by the time it's too expensive to get the last dregs of oil out of the ground). That problem is compounded by the fact not only is the demand…
did some more tests last night: the keyboard had no effect, went as far away from it as i could to no avail. I've had the monitor issues in the past with my old Apple Studio Display (old tube monitors), but I've got a flat screen now. my last idea was to test my COAX cable. I was getting ground loop interference downstairs…
This is not another topic complaining I don't have a industry job yet, nor a portfolio review thread(thought if you have any suggestions by all means say them). I want to let other people know who might be just starting how important it is to not give up and to keep progress screenshots around. I joined here May 22nd 2011,…
Cast iron cookware isn't a good reference to look at, as the surface is "seasoned". What you're actually looking at on the surface is a thin layer of fat that has been heat treated, which is what makes cast iron cookware non-stick. If you ever scrub/sand this layer off to re-season the pan, it will look like a dull-grey…
I'm basing my Throne off a book series by Scott Westerfeld, the "Leviathan Trilogy". I have been working on it for the past few days, wondering if this is something even possible for me to do and I'm gonna do it. Heck if it comes out in last place, I'm going to spend every day working and refining on this to the last…

But 7 years and 48 kilometers later one is still scratching around on mars while they think up new missions for it. The kinect and…
Greeting, I just wanted to let people know that I have finally uploaded a new version of UVDeluxe to CreativeCrash! You now have the option that is on by default to automatically detect the texture resolution of what you are working on, It's a huge time saver over having to set it manually. Setting it manually is still…
Hey there, new to the boards. I've been checking out the work here and could definitely use some critiques and tips on modelling my demo reel. I'm just wrapping up a Game Art & Design course and must complete my demo reel soon. Here's what I have so far. I'm still UVing most of them, and a few textures have been slapped on…
Speedtree isn't actually that fast to render as the geometry isn't that efficient. A hand modeled tree will render as fast as a speedtree as long as it has LODs.
