Re: Next! ... Fantasy Book Must Reads
If you want some manly adventure check out the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burrows. While it takes place on Mars I wouldn't really classify it as Sci-Fi. One warning, they were written in the 1900's so some people might find the writing a bit archaic. The best part is the majority of the books are public domain. Here's… -
Re: Reference for drapery?
try "draped" or "drape" as search term. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=draped&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1506l2511l0l3435l6l6l0l0l0l0l276l1407l0.1.5l6l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1904&bih=991&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi also, i imagine it shouldnt be a big hassle to setup something small next to your… -
Re: Laptop size
I have a two year old Alienware Mx17 : Dimensions (W)16.14" (D)11.96" (H)1.77" with a nice 17" 1900 x 1200 resolution screen. It got me through school, was heavy as hell, finding a decent bag sucked. With the ammount of heat it puts out, you have to also carry cooler for it-going to need a bigger bag... I definately loved… -
Re: Pro Bender (ala Legend of Korra)
Done with all the sculpting! ...except the hair. Awesome people of Polycount, I need your help. I've done some paintovers of hair ideas: Which one do you guys like? "None of the above" is also an option. If that's the case, I'd love suggestions, too. I know a lot of the styles in Legend of Korra are influenced by the early… -
Remington 870 shotgun
Last fall I finished up my first full weapon model, a M1911: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122490 Although I was happy with the final result I wasn't happy with my workflow to get there. A few weeks back I decided to do another weapon to see what I learned from the 1911 project. This Remington 870 model… -
Re: Polycount's Sketch Thread!
Study sketch is based on an image in a book ("Pirates" by David Mitchell) I've had since I was a child. The painting is by American Master Howard Pyle, "Extorting Tribute from the Citizens" (1905). I've always loved this image because its packed full of story. Its like I can almost see an entire film/book in this image… -
Re: Japan is getting ROCKED
Awesome Lamont! A bit of good news, they've plugged one leak. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/04/06/135172093/in-japan-radioactive-leak-stopped-new-steps-taken-to-prevent-explosion?ft=1&f=1001 Oh wait I need to filter that through my fear mongering media lens: "EXPLOSION IMMINENT! U.S. TO BE COVERED IN THICK LAYER… -
Re: Optimizing Models
just something I noticed... if this supposed to be a first person weapon from a game it'll need a bunch of moving parts for animation. Currently it's not setup right. The slide is modeled into the main body and the hammer will have to go into a slot in the back. You'd also need a hole where the ejection port is and the… -
Re: Duke Nukem Pistol
I'll post some different views of the pistol I've created. You only really see the gun 'properly' in the heads up view. There is a sprite that you see for the 'pick-up' item, but this is all you get in the way of info! It dosen't even look like the other views of the gun that you see from the shooters perspective. So I've… -
Re: Turning Point: Fall of liberty.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29888.html personally I think the scenario is uncreative and 'overproduced' http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3500/exploring_the_rhetoric_of_war_a_.php 'So in our timeline, World War II never really happened. What we're dealing with is an extrapolation of historical events from a…
