I have a bit of the same tendency, questioning whether I have a good enough idea to pursue artistically, or whether I feel like I'm in the proper mood. When this happens, the best thing to do is to force your own nose… -
Re: Penn & Teller BS - Video Game Violence tonight at 10PM
The football example? I'm not so sure. People do, in fact, have a part of themselves that is prone to violence, domination, and looking awesome while you're doing it.. but we need to understand what the NEED is here if we're going to say anything intelligent about it at all if you look at it, I would argue, the need here… -
Mech: Individually animatable Modular sections,
As the title says, i'm going to be starting a project for my final thesis study at Master's level. Basically, what i intend to do is create a mech (the easy part) and have it customisable in UT3.

PC-CSGO | Desert Eagle - Biomachine
H. R. Giger was a pretty swell chap. His nightmarish renditions of both metal and flesh, merged into singular organisms from another world, always inspired me as an artist.

Should I always normalize the whole UV map?
I have done the UVs for each part of this model and normalized them individually: Then I selected all those parts and applied another unwrap modifier to make the atlas for all the model. Now I wanna normalize all the piles so every part of the model has the same proportions and then scale down or up all the UVs to fit them… -
