The minolta 50mm 1.7 is the first lens you should buy, you can pick up a used copy for $75-100 on ebay. This lens is sharp from about F2-5.6 or so whereas teh kit zoom is sharp from about F5.6-F8 or so, which in use means you can use the 50mm in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Its so cheap that it just makes a lot…
Avoid these "SLR Sized" point and shoot cameras like the plague. They are expensive, just as big and heavy as a dSLR, but everything about them is totally inferior, the features you get out of a $400 fake-slr are little better than a $150 compact point and shoot camera. You get a super tiny sensor, which is terrible for…
Yup, LX ergotron. You can consider getting the extension too, give much more range especially if your table is deep. http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/11/language/en-US/default.aspx They also have a nicer looking, ironman-like model but from what I have seen it has a bit less range. Yes they stay in place,…
JUPITER SPACE STATION first version: This is the first version of the space station for The Wandering Earth. Rather than going with the full rotating ring, we made a stick with counterweight at the opposite of the control module. The crew was rather small at that point (really early in the project). It was then completely…
I believe it is done on purpose, those are meant to serve as a base to put tree geometry on top in something like Speedtree, Max, or Maya. It's so that you have a very nice photoreal base where the player is and then a less dense canopy that you build on top of that. They do have some of the smaller trunks that are stumps…
Camera based protection to clear up the seams, put a seam that run along the tube in a position where it would not be seen by the camera, put another one in the middle edge ring where the pipe makes the curve, unfold. You should get straight uvs without distortion. If it doesn't become straight automatically, try using the…
Here's my lastest WIP, lowpoly with texture and about 33k tris. Next is do a simple rig and pose this guy. @CocoaCup Welcome to the challenge, you can always continue to finish it even the challenge time is over, as long as you learn something from it. The upper body is quite big from my opinion, and the ear shape is not…
See, I hear this and it makes me think you might like it. I too much prefer things like drifting the AE86, or tuning old VTEC Honda hatches, to blazing round the 'Ring in a Zonda with 'on-rails' handling. For that reason, Shift was a lot of fun. Plenty of option to mess with cars, but still arcadey enough to be fun. I…
select an edge, click select edge ring then click connect and put in how many edges you want. assuming everything in still quaded then that'll add in new edge loops. edit: just looked again and it looks like its not still quaded :( are you using max or maya? in maya there's a cut faces tool that allows you to draw a line…
