Re: American Auto Industry
I like to see the banks' bailout as a naive girl's (govt's) first asshole boyfriend. Yeah he's a smooth talker and may have been great in bed in the past but the bottom line is that he is an asshole and tends to screw you over more than what you expect. So now that dude came and left so to speak and now the heartbroken… -
Re: Low poly fit Highpoly?
Not many people are going to recomend baking in ZB unless it's a displacement map. assuming you have a decent UV, and you set the low poly geometry distribution up so it can subdivide enough in the right places to capture the high poly detail (which is not quite something you would normally do with raycast projection… -
Re: Industry veterans, please advise on the career choice. Where to grow from 3D artist position?
@TOMSONJO I agree with the other responses that asking for a 25% raise is probably not the best course of action. I won't retread those arguments. Another angle, however, is to ask for a bonus. It's much easier for a company to digest a one-time payout vs. committing to a perpetual increase. And while it may not be the… -
Re: Standalone - Node-Based Image Editor
Does it have to be node based? I have been using After Effects a lot recently and that is essentially non-linear, parametric photoshop for video. I see people use the scripting and expression systems to make tools for still image manipulations occasionally. One such example I was interested in recently was creating a depth… -
Re: [WIP] ZELDA Twilight Princess - Link's House - Environment
I really like the main tree texture work and the front door. A few things * I would accentuate the log frame on the top window and make the logs a bit bigger like the original * The ground texture is really distracting. The original ground texture is varied and expressive (grass is thin or missing where people walk a lot… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I didn't agree with everything you said. But as one of the many people out there who find constructive critiques difficult to come by, I think that the core of bad criticism is that nobody has any particular reason to feel invested in one another. Then there is the fact that newbs, including myself take good criticism… -
Re: Texturing: True res vs. Resizing
I don't like the quad-rez upscale idea, since more times then not, on personal stuff, it got me in a tight spot and I had to restart or change entire parts of my models. Example are boots on a character that had new-age art patterns, like flowers and other curved round design, getting them painted at 2K then downsized… -
Re: High Poly Gun WIP
were they given more than just the profile drawing? of so, then design has to be at least a part of it, considering that they're only seeing 2 axes of a 3 dimensional object, right? there are quite a few things that could be improved that mostly relate to the dimension not shown in that concept, so implementing them would… -
Re: Normal Maps baking wrong
Gannon: I thought that you were supposed to separate hard edges on the UVs for normal maps? At least that's what the tutorials I got showed. I was going through the Colt 1911 tutorial from Gnomon and he splits up the UVs on the gun. I did sew them together and it helped a little, but I'm still getting weird banding. I… -
Re: WoW: Cataclysm
So far, really enjoying it. First thing that leapt out at me was just how awesome the Blizzard Downloader is now. Might not seem a big deal to new(er) players, but man, that thing used to be a pain in the ass. I thought I'd be waiting for patches to download all day today. Played a fair bit today, about a third of the way…
