Re: Loss of Motivation
Not really. I hate portfolio work because it's so open ended. For me having the potential to do anything makes it difficult to find the motivation to specifically do anything: everything becomes 'not good enough' and anything I do in my comfort zone (and could easily enjoy) feels like dicking around. Without focus you… -
Re: 3DS Max - UVing complex objects
hi guys, I have to admit I am a bit skeptical about doing it the way described above as it produces a lot of warping. That usually happens when normalizing a trapezoid poly for example to a rectangle. (as can be seen with the checker texture warping above) I`d suggest an alternative approach (both are surely valid for… -
Re: Lighting, Seams, and Smoothing Problems
I haven't been working that much in UDK for the last year, so maybe better take it out to tech forums and support threads for xnormal and handplane, generally more users read those, but I here are some tests I did. Last version I've been actively using was March 2012, IIRC that explicit normals workflow with xNormal was… -
Re: ---~[ 3D painting softwares ]~---
Hehe quite the neverending subject huh ? Tried alot of them also! But I must state first that I don't care about the model being displayed in fancy 3D; painting in Photoshop on a screenshot that get re-projected on the final model is my thing, plus even the fancy 3d based paiting apps need to do such an operation… -
Re: harry potter 7 --> !!SPOILERS!! <--
ah good point Asherr. i'll zip my lip now. i read the book too fast methinks! @Jimmies: SPOILER After snape dies [witnessed by Harry and his posse] harry goes upto him and sees a floating 'thought' [like the ones in the pensieve]. Snape says something like 'take it' so harry puts the 'thought' in a little container. Snape… -
Re: Soldier - Realtime Normal Mapped Char
whoa longass thread. heh some TLDR stuff, but i skimmed i agree with most of the stuff - the design is simple, but definately not ineffective. It could use more to show off the normalmaps, but a lot of the work ive seen of yours isn't really about that. when it comes to the texturing, you'd be surprised as to what you can… -
Re: So, we have real Spaceships...
Hey, instead of wasting all this time and money on making art for video games why don't you go do something useful with it out in the world? The argument that the resources spent to make spaceship one happen could be better serving humanity are just as ludicrous as suggesting that throwing money at a problem can solve it.… -
Re: New comp build, need your advice :)
I never said you need a expensive i7 - if you upgrade your PC right now, first third of 2014 then you want it to last I suppose, and getting a 4 threaded system when you can have a 8 threaded one from AMD for about 180 is something you very likely will regret. I guess my view is biased since I do offline rendering aswell,… -
Re: will the next photoshoppee actually be awesome?
Bitmap: the beta's been reported on, and is just cs3 with a new splash-screen. http://cybernetnews.com/2008/03/04/adobe-photoshop-cs4-stonehenge/ edit: from the comments there: "Complete report: So I got up the guts to download the CS4 floating around the network. The un-packing process was more than typical CS versions,… -
Re: What to do when practice doesn't make perfect?
Guess I'll interject my personal experience into the mix here, for better or for worse. To be totally honest, I think the one thing that holds so many people back these days is not a lack of critique. It's this weird reliance on outside critique they've somehow fused into their brains. Largely due to the prevalence of the…
