looking good:) I wish I had that good of work my second year in school. My only crits are: 1. there is a bit of texture streching on the top of the wood beam above the bay window. 2. The bricks on the chimney look funny how they "end" on the edges. I know its tiling, but it gives away its CGness. 3. The plants look…
Bought my copy on Saturday. I had been wanting to get it earlier, but the $50 price tag had scared me off. (cheap-ass gamer for life!) Now you see, this is exactly why Valve is on top of the downloadable games marketplace race. Other companies throw content up, slap a price on it, and think that is all that need to be…
Cheers Chris! I'll widen up the bottom a bit to beef up the stone. The intent is to get it in there. I stepped back from that because it was getting daunting having to high res every asset. So instead of mudboxing stone and brick for 12 years I think I might go with crazybumped painted/referenced textures and decent…
I haven't updated in a few days, it's been really hectic at work and I haven't had much time at home to do anything. But now I'm off and working again! yay! So I started working on the texture for the building, but I am worried about the building itself. The actual texture on the building is subtle, you can see a faint…
Hehe well riding the rocket is what its all about I suppose!. Seriously though DMT is pretty hard to get ahold of, I only came across it as a fluke. At about the same time I also came across some stuff called 5-MEO-AMT and that shit took me for a ride. A 14 hour ride to be precise. At the time it wasn't illegal, infact you…
[ QUOTE ] holycrap, poop is X-TREME!!! good points on both sides.. i had an image in my head of andrew dressed like budda, with a calming reasuring voice.. practice your craft, breathe in breathe out, listen to waves in the distance crash as... then poop crashes through a brick wall with a rocket launcher for a penis and…
i don't think the companies involved really like to admit it, but i think they really aren't willing to give much anything away for free these days; anything that brings in more money to help keep their company pumping out games, the better. (hmm, a rant of my own) the loudest voices criticising the gaming industry hate…
Yea one big self fulfilling prophecy that was. Didn't they set out to make it as difficult and narrow as possible by only leasing the cars with very restrictive terms, in a narrow test area? Wasn't the EV1 made just to prove to California that their zero emissions laws where doomed to be a failure because "no one wanted…
Thanks Guys :) Johny: thanks man, i tried the render itterations trick with Turbosmooth but it still crashed out. im using a system with more ram now tho so ill give it a go. That Self occlusion trick is damn clever! thanks for sharing :) glynn: may i ask how you bake out the gloss values? i don't get a gloss element in RTT
bugger that sucks dude, but i mirror others comments in that your work is too good for you to have to sell tricks for too long till the next job :) i hope you did the edward norton/fight club trick of beating yourself up in the boss's office, and got a sweet redundancy package - that or you could just pulp your boss in…
