I think that depends entirely on where you take that pole. You take it in Saudi Arabia, then they will say they are both vile porn (if they could even identify an open anus, which I doubt). There are only so many ways you can define a concept. If you aren't going to define it by the motivation in creating it, then what? By…
You need to close the program, right click on the shortcut to max and click on 'Run as administrator'. Then once in the program change your driver config to what you want and restart. After you restart it should have saved. It's a bullshit Win Vista AND Win 7 problem. You can permanently make it so every time you run max…
Ohh I did forget something 7) Bump/Normal Map - Self explanatory. Dust is probably too thin to influence the bump so don't include it, but thick dirt, scratches, or other surface imperfections you can include. 8) Gloss/Eccentricity Map - Don't really know how to create one of these since I've only ever used the default…
I believe the download link is active indefinitely. I bought some tutorial downloads for Messiah a year ago through the lulu website that are still in my account when I login. I believe you can download as many times as you need to also. NO DRM Only when the project is retired and it is no longer for sale do you lose…
Fogmann: From what I've seen of your work (awesome job on your streetfighter entry, btw), you are able to get renders with transparency. What do you mean by doing a quick render? I've tried maya hardware renders which don't work...is there something I'm missing? Tulkamir: I'm using Maya 7. I see that there have been…
To backup the testimony about the sturdiness of wacom's tablet, I've used them for 12 years and only ever seen two break. (1) My wife's tablet was fried by a USB hub that coincidentally had the wrong power adapter plugged into it(!!!) (2) and the other was was one I bought 7 years prevous. I had the tablet in my lap, I got…
Ok. Without any consideration towards vertex lighting, 4934 tris: I think I will go this way, until someone don't tell me to go back to the previous tessellated version. Talking about that, I tessellated the floors that much because I was thinking to vertex lighting and the shadows that props could cast on them. It's…
Dibs on your job when you go. So, the bachelor degree thing. How big a deal is that when going for a visa? Would it be worth going back and studying for a while to get one? We all know that a piece of paper doesn't mean jack when it comes to art skills unless you've drawn a picture on it, but it seems like the governments…
Yah, every Kinko's should have a design specialist on hand at some point during the day. The pricing is $90/hr at a $15 minimum - I still make my hourly wage though and get nothing of that hourly charge . If you want to make your own things to know: standard businesscard size is 2"x3.5". If you make a document that is…
I still think you can push the
color/gloss variation more and make it stand out from the rest,
character/story. Also some contrast wouldn't hurt. Polymer frame
material could also use more love,gloss variation/contrast. Same
thing with the slide. Those fingerprints looks very noticeable and
alone, I guess, but it looks…
