Rigged the girl so long. I really don't like Softimage's IK Solver. :/ Also, I have no idea how to do real-time fire, like for a game. I mean, I guess I could have an animated texture, but I wonder if that's what they do nowadays, for things like flamethrowers and muzzle flares.
Yeah, I see your point here, (and you have made plenty of sound points) - but also realize the issue here. OP Obviously feels like something is off in his learning group, or that he is not working as hard as he should. Which may be for a variety of factors [including by determining that his current class-mates may not be…
[ QUOTE ] Ben Franklin once said "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Still rings true to this day,i remember all the fear mongering after 9/11 by the press and politicians to scare people into signing away their liberty little by little,whats…
I think there are interesting points going on in here. Some funny and others in my opinion hitting the nail on the perverbial head. I think Kevin is pretty close with his idea of the issue being management. I believe that management becomes the wrenches in the machines. Companies running out and not having money because of…
[ QUOTE ] What in the hell are you arsewads going on about? He never said anything about his ideas or any of that, he said he wants to get a career as a game designer. Nothing wrong with that.

I feel the same way. But then I don't know if we would be in the same audience that buys the latest blockbuster games. I typically don't play AAA games anymore, but I do like Naughty Dog games because they actually have some legit gameplay, but I recall in the last one just blazing through areas that looked like probably a…
Sorry I haven't responded to this until now. I was afraid of tampering with something that worked in its own mysterious way while the project was still ongoing. I have later tried the garbage collection solution, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I would try to copy everything to another scene, but I have render…
Hello Jon, thanks a ton for your input and your are correct. While not much change happened from my last post. I did set everything to lighting only and things do look really flat and basic. I was lurking on your blog and found really interesting sources in regards to lighting also found some outside articles. Once I…
Econoline Cargo 1975 For 1975, the Econoline/Club Wagon were given a complete redesign. Based on an all-new chassis, Ford became the first American manufacturer to adapt body-on-frame construction to a full-size van. The new-generation Econoline would become common not only in its own right, but as the basis for other…
Great project, been watching it develop and really love the texture work! For your lighting, make sure to add impact with your values. There's an evenness to your current lighting that makes everything washy, unrealistic, and a bit bland. Let your light make impact and dissipate over a distance. Looks like the hottest…
