Re: Looking for a mentor
Such coincidence. Someone just posted this image a few days ago. https://vimeo.com/85040589 Keep working. Set yourself a realistic project. Try to finish it, that's very important. Don't go for anything too grand or too huge. Get it done and post here for feedback. You want people to point out your mistake. Don't waste… -
Re: What do colleges teach for CG?
Thank you! Ill check that out. Cant hurt. Also, not sure if I mentioned it. I have a full time job that I work 40-50 hours a week in 90+degree heat outside all day. Wore my sisters fitbit once and I ended 3 hours early. Had 28K steps and 70 flights of stairs. >.> So part of the no motivation is just from being completely… -
Re: New PC Monitor Suggestions
Secret tip: Check out the Yamakasi Catleap or similar on Ebay (But ebay only) They come straight from Korea where the panels are made, are dirt cheap (around 300-350 euro) but have no features whatsoever. Normal ports, volume thats it for most. Thing is, they are spectacular 27" S-IPS with amazing values and calibration… -
Re: Mudbox and Blender for modelling?
Blender isn't a bad choice to work with if you're limited by pricing. There's a lot of interesting tools in it that you may find useful for work, especially if you're used to Max already. If you're looking into texturing options, Steppenwolf's Photoshop advice is solid. It's very much an integral part of a lot of studio… -
Re: Software Investment?
Honestly this is the best time ever to own stuff legit as far as pricing goes. As mentioned above, you can get Photoshop CC for $10/month in the Photo package, and Maya LT is only $30 a month. I have absolutely no issues using either. The only thing to be aware of with LT is to understand the limitations, the biggest thing… -
Re: Halo Warthog low poly modeling
@Optimus No, the poly count is fine. Vert count depends on final expected fidelity, not a rough guideline. Where did you get the 40-50k verts from? Triangles are fine on objects that themselves don't deform. Especially cars most times. @tony 84 Assuming you're doing closer shots of the car (if you can provide those… -
Re: "I'll have the usual" - Favorite Food Joints
These aren't really places I hit all the time, we mostly eat in, but they are my favorite places to eat out. Thai ho Kirkland Wa. Hand pulled noodles, holy crap everything there is good. Ruth Chris Bellevue Wa. New York Strip... La Palmera Mill Creek Wa. Almost as good as some of the best places I found in Az... almost.… -
Re: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
yessssssss Flaagan, I'm in total agreement. On top of that, I have to nitpick: - Super super overdone bloom (AGAIN, Codemasters? COME ON) - Post processed into a brown poopy world - FOV is set to 40 or something ungodly. It's like you're wearing a dog cone around your head - First person weapon animations. Does the… -
Re: Loot whore looking for game
TF2's got loot.. and skills... does it have autorun yet? I'm waiting on that. :P Silverfall and its expansion have enormous worlds... and the combat's pretty fun. Mostly for the same reason as TQ - sending ragdolls flying... unfortunately, it's not very balanced and the UI/story/whatever is just awful. However, the… -
Re: Ladies & gentlemen, Unearthly Challenge is ON!
It's not a question of "how much love" they get, it's a matter of the fact that it's totally unrealistic to think that you can give every single object a unique unwrap job and a normal map where every single high frequency detail was placed by hand in zbrush. That kind of time-budget and texture budget is totally…
