I appreciate the things people have said about how reality is with geography and what not. im not blowing you guys off with the things im doing here, i love critique and criticism as it shows me what people generally expect and helps me grow as an artist in regards to what other people think should happen. Im going to…
Hey, i might be able to help with some of those question but not all: 2. You can have more then one separate piece of mesh, if you know what I mean. The teeth don't have to be physically linked to the head for instance but of course its a good idea to have them as a element of the mesh for easy selection. Also, if you are…
I understand what you mean. I went with the capsules/skateboards/snowboards to try and present the thumbnail work in a different way and allow myself to show off a lot of work without a lot of screen space or clutter. I am also a little OCD with the face that it would look a bit strange since all my images are different…
I'm sure my advice is far from "be all/end all," but I'll give it a shot! 1) A Breakdown of the theory behind Parallax mapping Parallax mapping is a technique for real-time approximation of displacement mapping. Each pixel's texture coordinates are adjusted at render-time to create an illusion of depth as the viewer's eye…
EQ, I'm not sure about the first link, its the Mobo I ordered =/ I'm not a big fan of EVGA mobos (great video cards tho) for two reasons: 1) The on board audio they put on their boards, sucks. I've actually had the box say Realtek but I got some other generic chip their drivers didn't support. I found this out about a year…
These are my price points for consoles: I'll pay $60 for Metal Gear, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. Those are the three series I have enjoyed most over the years and have sparked my imagination in so many ways. They have high production values and wow me. (Wow factor: that's the key point.) These games give me an…
Okay a couple of things I noticed that you might want to take a look at. 1: In the picture that is split into two where you show the crab, I am not understanding what this is supposed to be. Is the crab disappearing or does it load up and then go away. Please explain this more. 2: Do you have a better picture of your anim…
I'm saying it uses gas, if that gas goes to generate electricity or torque it doesn't matter it still uses gas even if its better then what I'm getting now it still uses GAS. Its a step forward but not one that really trumps Japanese Hybrid tech. Wait for my Volt to charge up or take my Prius out... I was basing my…
It is for sure convenience. Toolbag has an Integrated sbsar importer. Blender has an officially from Adobe created sbsar importer but you need to login into Adobes forum/account to download it. Toolbag allows an easy export for showing your 3D scene on webpages/portfolio. If it´s for general portfolio purposes and you just…
Some more tweaks you can do to help performance/issues RAGE currently does not have a menu option to turn V-sync on or off. If the graphics driver supports a so called "swap-tear" extension then RAGE will use it and RAGE will V-sync when running >= 60 FPS and RAGE will tear when < 60 FPS. Unfortunately at the release of…
