I personally got a lot better performance with 3DSMax 2011 and an older 8800GTX card than with 3DSMax 2012 and 2013 with either the 8800 or the 560ti. There are a lot of posts on the forums from people with worse performance using 3DSMax 2012 and 2013 with either 8xxx and 9xxx and 5xx cards, than with an older card and…
It shouldn't be too hard to rip assets from older games, although some older developers used some weird methods for storing assets. I ripped some assets out of Xenosaga for the PS2 a while back and I remember having to write a few small scripts to get past a couple of issues. Most games won't require much work though, just…
I've had that happen in older versions of 3dsmax but not recently. It mostly happened when it crashed and I started working with the file it tried to recover. It's better to go to an autoback (but not always) and forget about the recovery files. It's also happened when it autosaves when I was in the middle of doing…
[ QUOTE ] I put together what may have been one of the first game art and design teams back in 192 [/ QUOTE ] Paul is older than I thought... much, much older. Those dragon paintings he did? They were from life. (Actually, Paul, my girlfriend had one of your paintings as a poster in her room for years, and was pretty…
Hello, I am trying to create a normal map using nDo and use the refresh button in nDo to open 3Do to view the changes. Currently all I get is just a gray cube with no maps on it. It seems like since QS 2 released I have tons of trouble with 3Do including having random meshes sometimes still loaded from older projects. Is…
So I decided I hated my lighting and deleted all of it. This is more of what I was looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn5Au5nw37A&feature=youtu.be Things need to be fixed and I made things different colors to see what looks better, but you get the idea. Please keep in mind, the bullet hole decals are just place…
On Slums, all I'd do is drop the outer shadow around the head, and maybe make the contact information a bit bolder. The thing about business cards is that they should quickly and professionally relay the person's contact information, and also be cheap and easy to print. As for technodookie's. Go with the prior suggestions,…
Heading straight from one project to another, I've begun working on my entry for ArtStation's Wild West challenge! I'll also be posting some progression on my Submission Page. I will be creating an environment using one of Fin Downes' concepts as reference:…
Nice :) it's coming along. The floor. **Hold on. It might look too messy. They're are mailboxes on the wall. The mailman/woman giving the mail might see that it's too dirty on the floor, and would probably ask for someone to clean it (fictionally speaking). Someone will eventually take some of those pieces out, but not…
Great work! I only have minor crits. - If you can, make some volumetric clouds and place them in front of the mountains in the background. This way, you have more depth and layers going on and a less skybox-like look. - The placement of the buddah statue to the left in the first picture doesn't make much sense. There would…
