Would… -
Re: E3 '07
For the press conferences I think G4TV hit it head on. Nintendo got 5/10, MS 7/10 and Sony 8/10. Sounds about right to me. And Ninjas... I actually thought Mario Galaxy looked pretty bad in the gameplay video I saw. Both gameplaywise and graphics it seemed fairly uninspired to me. Probably didn't help that the guy doing… -
Re: The Bachelor and the Artist
well, for overseas work, I think you either need a degree or a like 5 years (or some such number which isn't small but isn't huge either, something like 3-7 i think) of experience to get a work visa in america without trouble. I think there's other ways, but they're harder. I dunno... just regurgitating what little i… -
Re: MAX TIP: moving from physique to skin.
"In max 7 you can also use a low res skinned model and pass this data to a skin modifier in a higher res model. I use this to get my characters 80% of the way in a few clicks." That sounds useful, didn't know that! Say I have a rather strangely proportionned 3000 tris character to rig (orklike), and the base lowpolyrig is… -

Re: Normal Map noob questions
You don't need a special plugin for Maya. Maya 7 has a very nice normal mapping tool called "surface sampler", which can be found in the modify menu. If you have an earlier version of Maya, the tool was called "transfer surface info" ( I think), and had to be activated in your plugin manager as it's not switched on by… -
Re: really f**king fat
I'm 5 foot 9 inches and weigh 137 lbs... For me to not feel out of shape, I generally keep my body fat percentage around 7%. Then again, if i don't feel in shape i just kind of sit around and eat until someone tells me to go run or something. Most of my friends are around the same size/weight/build as me. Though, I do run… -
Re: starting a games company
Most of us in the business have a shitstorm of work anyway. Might aswell do it for yourself rather than 'the man'. Good luck Ruz in whatever you decide. A word of advice: don't go in with a bunch of mates just 'cos you like hanging out. I've seen that a lot especially in the days of 6 or 7 years ago when several small co.s… -
Re: Normal Map Viewer?
seems to always be a trade off with these viewers. the card in my notebook won't support high quality display in maya. the card in my desktop will. but not with maya 8 apparently. and maya 7 doesn't handle mirrored normal maps well. xNormal works fine but is ugly as all hell and has a horrible nav scheme. as does der_tons…
